Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP) Adv Tec Dev
Abstract
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) portfolio includes efforts that solve problems and respond to mission requirements, as well as, exploratory research for new ideas and breakthrough capabilities. Larger in scope, scale and risk Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP) are selected for their high-payoff and potential to revolutionize operational concepts. The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) continue the Applied Research work in PE 0602792N for promising INPs with Advanced Technology Development activities. INP investments define the future of U.S. naval forces. Due to high technical risk, INPs often have long trial-and-error timeframes to work through challenges, but typically no more than three years between decision points. INP efforts mature technologies from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 2 or 3 to a TRL of 6. As such, INPs require applied and advanced technology development funding to bridge from concept to working prototype. INPs prove technological and capability potential, validate production feasibility, and acquisition potential. ONR demonstrates INPs in relevant environments. Successful experimentation and demonstrations present the Department of the Navy with disruptive capabilities that may lead to a new acquisition programs. INPs are selected by senior leadership in the Department of the Navy. This Program Element (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). Because to the nature of these projects described, technology development plans have been written with limited details due to information security concerns. Specific information on each project will be provided separately to the Congressional oversight committees.
