Marine Orien Log Eq Ad
Abstract
Project 526 Marine Orientation Logistics and Engineering Advanced Development supports Dynamic Force Repositioning (DFR) and provides the Combatant and Multi-Domain Task Force Commander with organic waterborne lift capability that can deliver today's Army maneuver platforms and equipment, and supply bulk fuel and water across the full spectrum of operations with increased speed and lower draft; and mitigates anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threat by providing access to shallow coastal waters, rivers, in narrow inland waterways in support of dispersed force elements in austere environments and where mature ports or road networks are unavailable. The MSVs are critical modernization efforts in support of the Army's Watercraft Transformation Strategy (AWTS) and Army Force Package 2.0. In general, this project supports efforts and studies for advanced component development, including prototypes of equipment and sub-systems to enhance the seaworthiness, safety, and survivability while increasing the lethality, tactical mobility, and operational capability of the Army Mariner to preserve the Combatant Commanders requirement of "freedom of seas" access in all areas of the world particularly the littorals, to support maneuver operations in all Areas of Responsibility. In addition, funded efforts will address critical gaps in these areas for the legacy fleet, while at the same time researching, developing and testing emergent technologies. To support future acquisitions and future fleet planning, funding efforts will include conducting trade studies, Business Case Analyses to inform the requirement development process, and support Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). The funding enables Army's compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act of 1996 and 502(6) of the Clean Water Act and compliance with Environmental protection Agency (EPA) emission standards. FY 2021 RDTE dollars in the amount of $0.841 million supports modernization of the legacy fleet by investigating technology insertions, including, but not limited to: force protection, condition based maintenance, vessel electronics, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. In FY 2021, $0.178 million in Reimbursable Manpower for this line has been realigned from Reimbursable Civilian Funding to Direct Operations and Maintenance. Program support costs have been accurately updated to reflect the realignments.
