NIWO Rapid Capabilities Development for CIC

Abstract

This program provides efforts in support for the Navy Expeditionary Warfare Branch (formerly known as Navy Irregular Warfare (IW) Office). Funding provides for the identification and assessment of available technologies to confront expeditionary challenges, including irregular warfare, urgent/emergent and unfulfilled needs of the warfighter. It provides for the validation and combat demonstration of identified technologies and/or packages of technologies to meet Oversea Contingency Operation (OCO) goals. It also provides funding necessary to attract additional investment and sustainment of demonstrated capabilities. The goal of the Navy Expeditionary Warfare Innovations Branch office is to: identify those requirements necessary to meet the immediate warfighter needs; integrate those existing unique and/or related capabilities that can best meet those warfighter needs; test those integrated capabilities; and then demonstrate in real time and/or during planned deployments all within an 8 month period. Those areas of capability to be investigated by the Expeditionary Warfare Innovations Branch include any or all of the following: - Persistent Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) - Close-in, expeditionary ISR - Conventional forces support to SOF - Rotary wing support to SOF - All source intelligence fusion - Littoral precision strike capability - Unmanned Vehicles (Undersea/Air/Surface/Ground vehicles for Mine/ISR/Strike/Surveillance/Detection/IED capabilities
