Abstract
Funds the development of new or improved war fighting capabilities through the Concept Generation and Concept Development (CG/CD) program. The priorities for the CG/CD program are to explore near-/far-term technological and non-technological solutions to war fighting gaps across all naval warfare areas. The CG/CD experimentation efforts include planning, systems engineering and integration, execution, data collection, analysis, and assessment requirements for a wide range of experiment venues, such as workshops, seminars, wargames, limited objective experiments, limited technical experiments, and live force events. Where appropriate, CG/CD experimentation will be conducted in a joint, or coalition environment. Also supports the fleet's experimentation program (Sea Trial) by providing planning, systems engineering and integration, execution, data collection, and analysis support to the Sea Trial Operational Agents where appropriate and as available. This support is focused on experimentation contained in the annual Sea Trial Execution Plan. This program historically does not meet established execution benchmarks. It differs from other Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) programs because it relies upon fleet participation, and thus is scheduled around fleet or staff availability. Because that availability frequently occurs during the spring and summer operational schedules, the overall RDT&E obligation/expenditure rates do not align with OSD practice. As a result, this project's obligation rates do not begin to approach benchmark until the program nears the fiscal year's end while its expenditure rates generally do not approach benchmark until midway through the second year of its appropriation.
