LAB Fit Support

Abstract

The Naval Science Advisor Program ensures the F/F helps shape the DoN investment in S&T, develops teaming relationships to rapidly demonstrate and transition technology, supports development of technology-based capability options for naval forces, and enables warfighting innovations based on technical and conceptual possibilities. This is accomplished through proactive connectivity and collaboration between DoN S&T and Joint, Navy, and Marine Corps commands worldwide. The program accomplishes this through several methods. It provides Science Advisors to Joint, Navy, and Marine Corps operational and strategic planning commands. Science Advisors facilitate and disseminate JCIDS requirements provided by the F/F Commanders to the OPNAV N091. Science Advisors collaborate with the F/F to identify specific solutions to known operational capability needs and provide the means to develop and demonstrate prototype systems. As a result, Science Advisors provide insight into issues associated with Naval Warfighting Capabilities that influence S&T program decision making. The program develops leaders among civilian scientists and engineers in the NRE. Upon completion of their tours, Science Advisors return to the NRE with first hand knowledge of the F/F, warfighting issues, and strategic decision making. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Science Advisor program enables continuous communication and collaboration between the warfighters, the technical community, and strategic development commands. Decrease in funding from FY 2011 to FY 2012 is due to realignment of efforts to the appropriate S&T program elements.
