Center For Naval Analyses

Abstract

The Department of the Navy's (DON) Studies and Analysis Federally Funded Research and Development Center (DON S&A FFRDC - hereinafter referred to as the FFRDC) provides independent, objective, and expert analyses based on its unique access to sensitive data and hands-on exposure to fleet operations gained through a world-wide field program. The FFRDC'sresearch program is centrally funded by this program element and is primarily concentrated along one Marine Corps category and thirteen Navy categories of study called product areas. These product areas are structured to enhance the FFRDC's focus of research and analysis upon the major present and future needs and issues of the Navy and the Marine Corps. Because of rapid advances in technology, changes in the fleet, the increasing complexity of weapon systems, and reductions in manpower, force structure, budgets, the current security environment, and Department of Defense (DOD) transformation, the Navy and Marine Corps have a greater need for analyses that are sophisticated, relevant, and timely. The FFRDC conducts research and analysis at all security classification levels, to include Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Programs (SAP). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
