Electromagnetic Systems Advanced Technology

Abstract

The Navy and Marine Corps' sophisticated electronics systems place heavy demands on the electromagnetic spectrum to accommodate information flow, defensive and offensive detection, tracking, and weapon system engagement. In distributed maritime operations, each of these platforms provides a set of capabilities that can be further combined for progressively larger and more complex operations. The Electromagnetic Systems Advanced Technology program addresses Radio Frequency (RF) technology for Surface and Aerospace Surveillance sensors and systems, Electronic Warfare (EW) sensors and systems, RF Communication Systems, Multi-Function sensor systems, and Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities. Activities and efforts in this Program Element (PE) address technologies critical to enabling the transformation of discrete functions to network centric warfare capabilities, which simultaneously perform Radar, EW, and Communications and Network functions across platforms through multiple, simultaneous and continuous communications/data links. Today's Sailors and Marines are enabled by Naval Science and Technology (S&T). Since 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has fostered scientific research related to the maintenance of maritime superiority and national defense. ONR manages the Department of the Navy's (DON) portfolio of naval Basic and Applied research, and Advanced Technology Development investments to ensure naval forces can effectively deter conflict, but when called upon, fight, win and come home safe. Current investments hedge against uncertainty, providing solutions to commanders today, and options for the future. The Naval S&T budget supports higher guidance defined by the National Defense Strategy, and responds to requirements identified by the Secretary of the Navy through research priorities set by the Chief of Naval Research, coordinated across the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), and outlined in the Naval R&D Framework. This PE funds Advanced Technology Development (ATD) that includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment. Efforts in this PE generally have Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment.), 5 (component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment.), or 6 (system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
