LITTORAL COMBAT/POWER PROJECTION
Abstract
This activity funds the Marine Corps participation in the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program. It is aligned with the Sea Strike, Sea Shield, Sea Basing and FORCEnet and Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) pillars as well as Force Health Protection and the Enterprise & Platform Enablers. It provides the capability for the demonstration and transition of technologies developed through the related Marine Corps S&T programs directly to an acquisition program of record. The funding profile reflects the alignment of the FNC program investments into ECs. Funding for each EC is aligned to a 6.2 or 6.3 Budget Activity (BA) as appropriate. The focus of the ECs within this PE will be on technology related to Urban, Asymmetric, Littoral and Expeditionary Operations. The related science and technology development is of the highest importance to Marine Corps operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the OCO. The technologies associated with these gaps are being pursued as part of an overall effort that addresses Sea Strike, Sea Shield, Sea Basing and FORCEnet and Expeditionary Maneuver warfare Capability Gaps. Warfighter Capability Gaps are made up of ECs and supporting products. This activity includes support to the Urban, Asymmetric Operations-related EC's for IED's, Modular Scalable Effects Weapons, Advanced Naval Fires Technology, Dynamic Target Engagement, Position Location Information, Transparent Urban Structures, Hostile Fire Detection and Response, Lightweight Protective Systems, and Lightening the Load of Dismounted Combatants.
