LITTORAL COMBAT

Abstract

The goal of Littoral Combat is the application of technologies to enhance the ability of the Navy/Marine Corps team to execute the Naval portion of a joint campaign in the littorals. This activity considers all the critical functions of warfighting: command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), fires, maneuver, sustainment, force protection, and training. The activity includes support to the following FNC ECs; Battlefield Power, Reduced Support Costs 1, Advanced Naval Fires Technology Spiral 1, Combatant Commander (COCOM) to Marine Combat Identification (ID), Global Information Grid (GIG)-Compliant Networking, Hostile Fire Detection and Response Spiral 2, Position-Location-Information, Reduced Cost of Operations 1, Sea Base Collaborative Command and Control, Sea Base Mobility and Interfaces, and Sea Base Integrated Operations. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding reduction reflects realignment of funds due to higher Navy priorities. The decrease of funding from FY 2012 to FY 2013 is the result of the transfer of resources from this R2 activity to a new FNC R2 activities titled Enterprise and Platform Enablers. Efforts in this R2 activity have been continued from FY 2012 to FY 2013 into the new R2 activity to support all FNC program EC Investments.
