Operational Energy Capability Improvement

Abstract

The basic mission of this program element is to fund innovation to improve the Department of Defense’s (DoD) operational effectiveness via targeted operational energy science and technology (S&T) investments. P455, the Operational Energy Capability Improvement Fund (OECIF), incentivizes S&T to promote long term change in DoD capabilities so they are better aligned with the Operational Energy Strategy. OECIF generally fosters innovation to improve operational energy performance and has two key mission aspects. First, to develop operational energy technologies and practices that will improve DoD military capabilities and possibly reduce costs. Second, to establish within the military Services institutional momentum to continue those innovations. OECIF funds serve as “seed money” to start or consolidate promising operational energy innovation to be sustained by the Services; accordingly, OECIF generally emphasizes supporting or establishing programs, rather than one-off projects.
