USMC FUTURE NAVAL CAPABILITIES
Abstract
This R-2 Activity, formerly named Littoral Combat/Power Projection (LC/PP), addresses the advanced technology development associated with the Marine Corps' participation in the Department of the Navy's (DoN) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Program. Investments in this activity are coordinated with similar and non-duplicative efforts in PE 0603673N Future Naval Capabilities Advanced Technology Development, where the Navy's participation in the FNC Program is funded. The FNC Program represents the requirements-driven, delivery-oriented portion of the DoN Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio. FNC investments respond to Naval Technology Gaps generated by Integrated Process Teams (IPTs) that are co-managed by Navy and the Marine Corps flag/general officers with representation across the naval research enterprise. FNC funding is aligned to naval challenges that may be associated with any of the FNC focus areas (i.e., Pillars). FNCs contain both 6.2 Applied Research and 6.3 Advanced Technology Development Budget Activity (BA) components as technology is matured from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 or 4 to a TRL of 6. The FY 2017 to FY 2018 increase in the USMC Future Naval Capabilities Activity is due to realigning funds within the PE for the initiation of the Fuel Efficient Technology Suite and Water Speed Enhancement efforts in FY 2018.
