PU 0149 International Cooperative RDT&E: Provide program management, execution, and support to implement a broad range of cooperative Naval Research and Development, Test and Evaluation initiatives to improve coalition interoperability, harmonize US Navy requirements with allied and friendly nations, and identify cooperative international opportunities, and improve coalition interoperability. In addition, it develops coherent approaches, coordinating with partner nations, to sea-based missile defense, command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I), and cooperative acquisition programs while also identifying technology to support the Global Maritime Partnership initiative. PU 1767 Naval War College Strategic Studies Support: Provides research, analysis and gaming activities which serve as a focal point, stimulus, and major source of strategic and operational thought within the Navy, joint and interagency communities. These efforts generate strategic and operational alternatives, quantitative analysis, war gaming and political military assessments, and provide recommendations regarding the formulation and execution of maritime options . The War Gaming Department plans, designs, executes, analyzes and reports on the Navy's Title 10 war games. These war games provide analytical input to the Navy's Strategic Plan, assessments of future concepts, and recommendations to the Navy's Quadrennial Defense Review, force design, and strategy process. The War Gaming Department also designs, executes and analyzes war games for theater security cooperation plans and operational war fighting issues. PU 2098 Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Studies Support: Navy Postgraduate School (NPS) Naval Research Program (NRP) supports senior decision-makers from the Department of the Navy, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Budget Submission Offices and Fleet Commanders in reaching well-informed, objective decisions on strategic, operational, and programmatic issues through collaborative and interdisciplinary research which integrates traditional research and analysis with advanced decision support tools. Faculty conducted research, student theses and capstone projects are an integral part of this program in support of the critical research and analysis requirements across the Naval enterprise. PU 2221 Assessment Program: The Navy Assessment Program provides capability-based planning assessment for Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), conducts analysis to affect war fighting capability trades and enterprise resources, identifies needs, gaps, and overlaps, and assesses alternative solutions to Joint needs. The program supports both the development and use of modeling, simulation and analytically-based warfare and provides business analyses and analytic tools that provide the basis for decision making with respect to concepts of operations (CONOPS), Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems (Information Dominance); warfare systems (Sea Strike, Sea Shield, and Sea Basing) and analytical underpinnings/basis for programmatic decisions of the Navy's top leadership regarding their architectures, force structure, and the Navy's core "organize, train, and equip mission" (the warfare and provider Enterprises). The program provides overarching Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System (PPBES) analyses and guidance for PPBES which provides gap analysis and investment strategy and total obligation authority allocation. It provides independent capability analysis and assists in structuring follow-on Navy analyses. The program coordinates Navy's position for the enhanced planning process and conducts net assessments. It serves as the lead campaign analysis to approve Navy warfare and support requirements. The program supports "A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower 21" as modified by the Maritime Strategy which charts a course for the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps to work collectively with each other and international partners to prevent crises from occurring or reacting quickly should one occur to avoid negative impact to the United States. It serves as an independent assessor providing a broad-view perspective across the Navy staff apart from resource sponsors, with an integrated look at both war fighting and war fighting support programs. The program supports the world class modeling efforts to attain a level of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capability that is world class and establishes the Navy as a leader in the Department of Defense (DoD) M&S community. It provides Navy alternatives in assessing the implications embedded within resource decisions in a quantified context of costs versus capability versus risk. The program provides independent analytic support to Navy leadership in conjunction with various executive level decision forums. It develops tools and analytical methodologies that assist in evaluating Navy programs and provides technical leadership for the analysis functional area of Naval Modeling and Simulation. PU 3017 Enterprise Information Systems: This project funds the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) Information Technology corporate costs. PU 3312 MTMD - Maritime Theater Missile Defense Forum: This project funds participation in Maritime Integrated Air and Missile Defense projects with other nations through the Maritime Missile Defense Projects Framework Memorandum of Understanding of 2004 (as amended 2009, 2015, 2016 and 2020). Known as the Maritime Theater Missile Defense (MTMD) Forum, it promotes interoperability with the Navies of twelve participating nations (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States). This project provides interoperability assessment and opportunities to Allies that directly contributes to increasing the number of countries capable of supporting NATO Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD). Engineering analysis and data analytics from MTMD activities are provided to European and Pacific Combatant Commands in direct support of theater Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) priorities. The MTMD Forum addresses challenges associated with integrating maritime Allied Air Defense in Support of Ballistic Missile Defense Operations into joint IAMD command and control. MTMD Forum nations leverage At-Sea Demonstration (ASD) test events, coupled with operational Fleet Exercises (Formidable Shield and Pacific Dragon), to integrate technology and validate national capabilities in operational constructs, supportive of operational force employment. The MTMD Forum encourages national development of systems and practices that enhance protection and defense against the proliferation of short, medium and long-range Ballistic Missile (BM) and Advanced Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats through the development of interoperable sea-based Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) capability among MTMD Forum nations. The MTMD Forum enhances utilization of existing sea-based IAMD systems to protect against current threats, while measuring progressive improvement and development of compatible systems to better counter evolving threats. This project supports USN participation in a Maritime IAMD Project Arrangement focused on: (1) Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (BMC4I) to define and develop architectures and perform engineering to address coalition capability gaps. (2) Modeling & Simulation (M&S) to establish and maintain a maritime coalition M&S testbed and to perform legacy and future systems simulation testing. (3) Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing of Coalition combat systems to assess interoperability within the Coalition Distributed Engineering Plant (CDEP). (4) Open Architecture (OA) work to develop Interface Standards and Data Models. (5) Test Planning and Execution (TPEX) to develop Test Plans, oversee exercise participation and conduct post event data analysis and reporting. (6) Operational Requirements (OR) to identify operational constraints and tactical constructs surrounding coalition maritime integrated air and missile defense activities, and their integration into joint operations. (7) Reciprocal Use of Test Facilities agreements with other nations to support Maritime IAMD and MTMD Forum-related demonstrations. PU 3330 Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)Facilities Modernization: This program has been established to provide a systematic and planned approach to improve vital in-house science and technology (S&T) laboratory facilities which are reaching or have reached critical stages of deterioration. The program includes restoration and modernization (R&M) initiatives for about 350,000 net square feet, where the average age of the buildings is 67 years old. PU 3363 PACOM Initiative: This project supports the China Strategic Initiative (CSI) and Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability (PMTEC) efforts. The CSI program is U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's(INDOPACOM) first Asia Rebalance initiative and provides cutting-edge research on adversary approaches to warfare, monitoring and analysis of adversary social media and censorship, unique understanding of effects of U.S. actions at the strategic and operational levels, sponsorship of Track 1.5/2 Strategic Nuclear Dialogue with China, etc. This funding is for a classified effort and details can be provided at a higher classification level. Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability (PMTEC) is foundational to meeting Commander, USINDOPACOM's high-end warfighting capability, theater force posture, and Ally & Partner (A&P) objectives through the execution of joint experimentation in the Indo-Pacific. PMTEC is the joint synchronizer and integrator by bringing together OSD, Service RDT&E, other government agencies, industry, and academia with Combatant Commands, Service Components, warfighting units, and A&Ps to expedite experimentations of R&D projects/prototypes and to facilitate more rapid modernization and interoperability. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST and EVALUATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT because it supports efforts directed toward sustaining or modernizing installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
