Future Naval Capabilities Applied Research

Abstract

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) works closely across the Department of the Navy (DON) and Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) to develop warfighting capabilities that address operational force's highest priorities.. While leveraging technology innovation is critical to maintaining a decisive edge, maintaining a pipeline of new capabilities requires balancing flexibility and risk, in order to deliver solutions to known requirements, and experiment with potential game-changing ideas informed by higher DoN and DoD guidance. This PE funds Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Technology Candidates, which are at lower Technology Readiness Level (TRLs), and is focused on maturing technologies to higher TRLs to reduce FNC transition risk. Efforts in this PE are coordinated with related work in the USMC Technology Candidates Activity of PE 0602131M Marine Corps Landing Force Technology. This Program Element (PE) funds Applied Research, which is the systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need. Most of the work in this PE can be classified between TRL 2 (technology concept and/or application formulation) and TRL 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environments). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
