LITTORAL COMBAT/POWER PROJECTION (LC/PP)
Abstract
This activity addresses the advanced technology development associated with associated with the Marine Corps participation in the Department of the Navy's (DoN) Science and Technology Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Program. The FNC Program represents the requirements-driven, delivery-oriented portion of the DoN Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio. FNC investments respond to Naval S&T Gaps that are generated by the Navy and Marine Corps after receiving input from Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) stakeholders. The funding is aligned with the Naval challenges associated with projecting power despite anti-access and area denial, specifically the Sea Shield, Power and Energy, FORCEnet, and the Naval Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare warfighting capability gaps. The funding profile reflects the alignment of the FNC program investments into Enabling Capabilities (ECs); ECs respond to priority Naval warfighting capability gaps. Funding for each EC is aligned to a 6.2 or 6.3 Budget Activity (BA) as appropriate. The FY2016 to FY2017 increase in the Littoral Combat/Power Projection activity is due to a FY2016 Congressional reduction and will realign the activity to its original programming levels in FY2017. Accordingly, the Future Naval Capabilities within the activity will be re-phased and amended appropriately to accommodate the delta.
