Statement of Rear Admiral Nevin P. Carr, Jr., United States Navy Chief of Naval Research before the Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee on The Fiscal year 2011 Budget Request
Abstract
It is an honor to appear before you to report on Science and Technology (S&T) efforts within the Department of the Navy and discuss how the President's FY 2011 Budget supports the Navy and Marine Corps. The President's FY 2011 Budget requests $1.96 billion for Naval S&T. The Naval S&T objective is to support a Navy and Marine Corps capable of prevailing in any threat environment. Throughout the past year, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) continued a direct, hands-on partnership with the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC). We believe that to address critical challenges facing the Navy and Marine Corps, ONR must: 1) focus on S&T areas that provide the biggest future payoff, 2) be innovative in thinking and business processes, and 3) continue improved transition of S&T into acquisition programs. S&T Strategic Plan The updated Naval Science and Technology Strategic Plan, approved last year by Navy and Marine Corps leadership, reaffirms alignment of Naval S&T with current Naval missions and future capability needs. It ensures S&T has long-term focus, meets near-term requirements, and makes our course clear to decision makers, S&T partners, customers and performers. The S&T Plan identifies thirteen focus areas where S&T investment will have high payoff supporting Navy and Marine Corp requirements: 1) Power & Energy, 2) Maritime Domain Awareness, 3) Operational Environments, 4) Asymmetric and Irregular Warfare, 5) Information Superiority & Communication, 6) Power Projection, 7) Assure Access and Hold at Risk, 8) Distributed Operations, 9) Naval Warfighter Performance, 10) Survivability and Self-Defense, 11) Platform Mobility, 12) Fleet/Force Sustainment, and 13) Total Ownership Cost.
