Future Naval Capabilities Adv Tech Dev

Abstract

Prior to FY19, Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Program investments were selected almost two years in advance of execution. It was determined by Navy and Marine Corps leadership that this approach limits Department of the Navy's (DON) ability to exploit technology advances and respond quickly to naval needs. As a result, future Budget Activity (BA) 3 investments supporting the FNC Program are now made less than one year before commencing execution. Because FNCs are now starting at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), the typical duration of an FNC has been shortened to 3-years. The FNC Program has been fully restructured in favor of a more direct and higher level of collaboration. Program Element R-2 Activities were modified for FY19 to align to warfare areas and the corresponding resource sponsors that will integrate FNC technologies into acquisition programs of record. These R-2 Activities have been continued into FY20. A complete accounting of the technologies being developed and a full disposition of each technology development effort will be provided separately to the Congressional oversight committees.
