NIWO Rapid Capabilities Development for CIC

Abstract

This program supports the Navy Expeditionary Innovations Warfare Branch formerly known as the Navy Irregular Warfare (IW) Office to identify and assess available technologies that confront current and future expeditionary challenges. These challenges include irregular warfare and urgent/emergent and unfulfilled needs of the warfighter as outlined in Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUON), Navy Urgent Operational Needs (UON), Marine Corps Urgent Universal Needs (UUN), and/or support rapid insertion into a Department of Navy (DoN) Program of Record (PoR) or other acquisition programs. Program funding provides for validation and combat demonstration of identified technologies and/or packages of technologies to meet Oversea Contingency Operation (OCO) goals and supports 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 immediate and future 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 and/or during planned deployments within a 6-24 month time 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)
