Future Naval Capabilities Advanced Tech Dev
Abstract
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) was established to ensure the technological advantage of U.S. Naval forces. ONR manages the Department of the Navy's science and technology (S&T) research portfolio (Basic, Applied and Advanced Technology Development investments). This work includes the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program, which delivers technology solutions to known requirements and accelerates innovative technology insertion into Programs of Record (PORs). In close and structured coordination with POR Stakeholders (Combat Capability Development organizations, Operating Forces, and acquisition organizations), FNC efforts create revolutionary technology for PORs. ONR's S&T competencies create substantially higher levels of technology, trade space, and capability gain than acquisition can create within POR programmatic risk constraints. FNC projects create exponential technology improvement substantially cheaper than POR vendors do. The structured FNC process and its specific transition mechanisms manage technical risk and increase the likelihood that technologies systematically deploy to warfighters. The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) 0603673N for FNC Advanced Technology Development use earlier research conducted in PE 0602750N for FNC Applied Research., and have follow-on transition funding commitments in the receiving acquisition Program of Record PEs. Using a competitive selection process, ONR and POR Stakeholders assess and select each effort in this PE based on its revolutionary technology payoff to the naval warfighter and prioritized operating force requirements. FNC requests from POR Stakeholders exceed funding available in the FNC Program and drive the competitive selection. Due to the classified efforts in this PE, some have incomplete descriptions. ONR can provide additional information in classified documents.
