Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
America is a maritime nation with global responsibilities that require U.S. naval forces be respected around the world and decisive when it matters. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) was established to guide ongoing research to ensure the technical superiority of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This Program Element (PE) addresses applied research associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. This program supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) and the protection of those platforms.

What project 0000 buys
This project addresses applied research associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. It supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) and the protection of those platforms. Research is focused on providing technologically superior defense of naval assets and delivering warfighting capabilities at reduced total ownership costs for surface and subsurface platforms through investments in applied research in Power, Energy, Propulsion, Engineering, and Design. This project develops technologies for reducing detectable signatures, while enhancing the mission effectiveness of naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) through improvements in platform range, responsiveness, survivability, observability, readiness, safety and life cycle cost. The project addresses technology development that provides substantial performance improvements in energetic material systems and subsystems, while addressing safety, reliability, and affordability concerns. This project is broken out into five primary areas of study: Aircraft Technology, Fleet Force Protection and Defense Against Undersea Threats, Advanced Energetics, Surface Ship and Submarine Hull Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E), and Naval Research Enterprise/Innovation Operations.
