Navy Warfighting Exp & Demo

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) addresses the development of recent technology breakthroughs to meet current operational needs from a subscale proof-of-principle into a full-scale prototype for warfighter experimentation during laboratory and operational demonstrations, Fleet Battle Experiments (FBE), Limited Objective Experiments (LOEs) and sea trial exercises. The key aspects of this PE are divided into four areas: (1) SwampWorks develops and demonstrates newly invented or recently discovered technologies that address emergent and enduring operational problems in an accelerated timeframe; (2) ONR Experimentation (OE) develops rapid prototypes and provides them to the warfighter for experimentation during laboratory and operational demonstrations; (3) TechSolutions develops rapid response science and technology prototypes addressing Fleet/Force needs identified by Sailors and Marines at the deckplate level; (4) Operations Analysis provides the Navy and Marine Corps the means to identify capability needs that can be addressed with science and technology solutions; and (5) support for the Naval Precision Strike Operations, providing the Navy capability to quickly locate, target, and strike critical targets. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE. FY 2016 included a single year investment for the research in Directed Energy (Solid State Laser - Technology Maturation or SSL-TM) which explains the funding decrease from FY 2016 to FY 2017. A new activity was moved into this PE in 2018 - Precision Strike Technology, formerly funded in PE 0603114N Power Projection Advanced Technology.
