Naval S&T Strategic Plan: Defining the Strategic Direction for Tomorrow
Abstract
The overriding goal of this Naval S&T Strategic Plan is to provide the vision and key objectives guiding the essential science and technology efforts that will assure the continued supremacy of U.S. Naval forces in the 21st century. This plan implements the current guidance and direction of our senior civilian and military leadership. It focuses and aligns Naval S&T with Naval missions and future capability needs that address the complex challenges presented by both rising peer competitors and irregular/asymmetric warfare. It puts us on a path toward maturing and transitioning enhanced naval capabilities, such as persistent ISR and dominance of the EW spectrum, and toward pursuing revolutionary advances, such as speed-of-light weapons. This strategy will be reviewed and approved by the Naval S&T Corporate Board every two years to ensure its continued relevance. It provides a means and framework to communicate with decision makers and the various external communities that interact with Naval S&T. Inside ONR, this plan will guide our investment planning and decisions. It is also intended to broaden our reach into the scientific community as well as into industry. The plan will be posted on the ONR website (www.onr.navy.mil) as a gateway for industry and academia into the center of Naval S&T.
