What project 1510 buys
This project funds fundamental research that will lay the foundation for new innovative technologies and future capabilities for naval and expeditionary forces. It provides the foundation of research that enables Naval Forces to fight threats and adversaries in expeditionary operations. Research efforts include theoretical and experimental investigations directed toward increasing knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical, engineering, environmental and life sciences. The project advances science that is needed to address a range of research challenges that result from physical and operational environmental limitations so harsh that solutions push basic discovery and invention.

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
