Maritime Dominance Technology Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area will develop the enabling capabilities and key technologies required to maintain maritime dominance, drawing on the recommendations of the Long-Range Research and Development Program Plan under the Defense Innovation Initiative and previous Future Year Defense Plan. Major drivers in the maritime domain include the development of extra-large, large, and small families of multi-mission unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), and the rapid growth of commercial undersea activity. The DoD is exploring emerging concepts for ubiquitous undersea communications, command and control, and large-scale UUV capabilities. To enable these concepts, RRF will focus on developing capabilities and technologies such as undersea power production, storage, and distribution; enhanced signal processing; autonomy; undersea situational awareness, and navigation; sensors; undersea communications; and, advanced materials development and production.
