2002 Assessment of the Office of Naval Research's Air and Surface Weapons Technology Program
Abstract
The mission of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is to maintain a close relationship with the research and development community to support long-range research, foster discovery, nurture future generations of researchers, produce new technologies that meet known naval requirements, and provide innovations in fields relevant to the future Navy and Marine Corps Accordingly, ONR supports research activities across a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines As one means of ensuring that its investments appropriately address naval priorities and requirements and that its pro- grams are of high scientific and technical quality, ONR requires that each of its departments undergo an annual review (with a detailed focus on about one-third of the reviewed department's programs) The Air and Surface Weapons Technology program reviewed in this report resides within the Strike Technology Division (Code 351) of the Naval Expeditionary Warfare S&T Department (Code 35) of ONR At the request of ONR, the National Research Council (NRC) established the Committee for the Review of ONR's Air and Surface Weapons Technology Program to review and evaluate discovery and invention (D&I) thrusts (ordnance, directed energy, gun weaponry, precision targeting and guidance, and propulsion and aeromechanics) and air and surface weapons objectives, components, and interfaces in two of ONR's Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs) programs (Time Critical Strike and Missile Defense). The committee selected the review criteria.
