LITTORAL COMBAT
Abstract
The goal of Littoral Combat is the application of technologies to enhance the ability of the Navy/Marine Corps team to execute the Naval portion of a joint campaign in the littorals. This activity considers all the critical functions of warfighting: command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), fires, maneuver, sustainment, force protection, and training. The activity includes support to the following FNC ECs; Battlefield Power, Reduced Support Costs 1, Advanced Naval Fires Technology Spiral 1, Combatant Commander (COCOM) to Marine Combat Identification (ID), Global Information Grid (GIG)-Compliant Networking, Hostile Fire Detection and Response Spiral 2, Position-Location-Information, Reduced Cost of Operations 1, Sea Base Collaborative Command and Control, Sea Base Mobility and Interfaces, and Sea Base Integrated Operations. The increase in funding between FY 2009 and FY 2010 is due to the initial funding of FNC efforts for advanced survivability and mobility for Marine Corps, and the initiation of new FNC efforts to reduce the load of dismounted combatants.
