LITTORAL COMBAT/POWER PROJECTION (LC/PP)
Abstract
This activity is aligned with the Sea Strike, Sea Shield, Sea Basing, FORCEnet and the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare pillars as well as Force Health Protection and Platform Enablers. It provides the capability for the demonstration and transition of technologies developed through the related Marine Corps S&T programs directly to an acquisition program of record. Littoral Combat/Power Projection is the Enabling Capability (EC). The funding profile reflects the alignment of the FNC program investments into ECs. Funding for each EC is aligned to a 6.2 or 6.3 Budget Activity (BA) as appropriate. The focus of the ECs within this PE will be on technology related to Urban, Asymmetric, Littoral and Expeditionary Operations. The related science and technology development is of the highest importance to Marine Corps operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the OCO. Understandably, these Warfighter Capability Gaps are among those highest ranked of the prioritized Capability Gaps (prioritized by the OPNAV and the MCCDC). The technologies associated with these gaps are being pursued as part of an overall effort that addresses Sea Strike, Sea Shield, Sea Basing and FORCEnet Capability Gaps. Warfighter Capability Gaps are made up of ECs and supporting products. This activity includes support to the Urban, Asymmetric Operations-related to EC's for IED's, Modular Scalable Effects Weapons, Advanced Naval Fires Technology, Dynamic Target Engagement, Position Location Information, Transparent Urban Structures, Hostile Fire Detection and Response, Lightweight Protective Systems, and Lightening the Load of Dismounted Combatants.
