What project 1400 buys
The vision of the Power and Energy Focus Area is "Naval Missions unconstrained by power and energy. The Power and Energy Focus Area enable increasingly efficient, reliable, resilient and abundant energy for Navy and Marine Corps infrastructure, platforms, systems and equipment. This focus area develops energy/power/thermal technologies required to deliver advanced naval capabilities and the ability to sustain/operate in contested logistics environments.
Project 1400 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 26.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 19.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 18.8 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 18.7 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 19.7 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 20.0 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 20.0 |
5 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Complete power electronics research for improved energy conversion efficiency, and electromagnetic materials research to achieve compatibility with high frequency power electronics. - Continue fundamental electrical power, energy and propulsion research. - Continue research in heat transfer and thermal management science and materials…
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work - Continue research efforts into Power, Energy, and Propulsion topics to advance Navy / Marine Corps capabilities in power, energy, and propulsion. These research efforts will develop an understanding of new materials for on-demand (electro)chemical energy generation, harvesting, storage, and release. Research efforts will focus on energy storage materials, including energetic materials, reactive metal nanoparticle fuel additives, new - both nanoscale and mesoporous - materials and supercapacitors and safe rechargeable batteries.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to decrease in research within Power, Energy, Propulsion, and energy storage.
FY2026 plans — current year - Continue research efforts into Power, Energy, and Propulsion topics to advance Navy / Marine Corps capabilities in power, energy, and propulsion. These research efforts will develop an understanding of new materials for on-demand (electro)chemical energy generation, harvesting, storage, and release. Research efforts will focus on energy storage materials, including energetic materials, reactive metal nanoparticle fuel additives, new - both nanoscale and mesoporous - materials and supercapacitors and safe rechargeable batteries.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The decrease in funding from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the realignment and consolidation of all expeditionary funding under PE 0601153N to the new Expeditionary Campaigns project number 1510 within this PE. Planned programs have been updated to align to current expeditionary and naval priorities.
FY2026 plans — current year - Complete research to study, characterize, understand, and exploit anionic redox phenomena in lithium-ion and sodium- ion batteries and solve fundamental challenges en route to improving and designing new materials that could increase the cathode capacity of these battery chemistries by exploiting the anionic redox processes. (Expeditionary Warfare) - Complete research into understanding the innate multi-physics of multiferroic materials to enable future new expeditionary applications.
