Force Protection Advanced Technology

Abstract

The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) are based on investment directions as defined in the Naval S&T Strategic Plan approved by the S&T Corporate Board (Feb 2009). This strategy is based on needs and capabilities from Navy and Marine Corps guidance and input from the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) stakeholders (including the Naval enterprises, the combatant commands, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), and Headquarters Marine Corps). It provides the vision and key objectives for the essential science and technology efforts that will enable the continued supremacy of U.S. Naval forces in the 21st century. The Strategy focuses and aligns Naval S&T with Naval missions and future capability needs that address the complex challenges presented by both rising peer competitors and irregular/asymmetric warfare. This PE addresses advanced technology development associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. This program supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial and air) and the protection of those platforms. This PE supports the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) in the areas of Sea Shield and Cross Pillar Enablers, and Enterprise and Platform Enablers (EPE). The goal of this program is to provide the ability to win or avoid engagements with other platforms or weapons and, in the event of engagement, to resist and control damage while preserving operational capability. Surface Ship & Submarine, Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E), Missile Defense, Fleet Force Protection and Defense against Undersea Threats, and Emerging Threats activities all support FNC efforts. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
