Operational Energy Capability Improvement

Abstract

The mission of the OECI is to fund innovation that will improve DOD operational effectiveness via targeted S&T investments. As Defense-Wide funding, it incentivizes S&T to promote long term change in DOD capabilities, so they are better aligned with the Operational Energy Strategy. The OECI fosters innovation to improve operational energy performance and has two key mission aspects. First, to develop, demonstrate and transition into use operational energy technologies and practices that will improve DOD military capabilities and/or reduce costs. Second, to establish within the military Services sustainable, institutional capability to continue to research, develop and adopt operational energy innovations. The OECI funds serve as “seed money” to start or consolidate promising operational energy programs to be sustained by the Services; accordingly, the OECI generally emphasizes supporting or establishing programs, rather than one-off projects.
