Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Activities and efforts in this program examine concepts and technologies that enable the transformation to Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO). Network centric capabilities rely on information to connect assets and provide timely and accurate understanding of the environment. The mission area requirements for rapid, accurate decision-making; dynamic, efficient, mission- focused communications and networks; and pervasive and persistent sensing drive network centric Science and Technology (S&T) investments. Today's Sailors and Marines are enabled by Naval S&T.

The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them. Opening lines only here — the full year-by-year narrative is on the project page.

Activities and efforts in this program examine concepts and technologies that enable the transformation to network centric warfare. Network centric capabilities rely on information to connect assets and provide timely and accurate understanding of the environment. The mission area requirements for rapid, accurate decision-making; dynamic, efficient, mission-focused communications and networks; and pervasive and persistent sensing drive network centric Science and Technology S&T investments. The activities described in this Program Element (PE) address future Navy and Marine Corps capabilities needed to maintain maritime superiority and ensure national security. They are based on input from stakeholders including the Naval enterprises, the combatant commands, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and Headquarters Marine Corps and are designed to exploit breakthroughs in science and technology in order to deliver maximum warfighting benefit to our sailors and marines. These efforts are aligned with shared priorities throughout the whole of RDT&E in order to quickly advance new capabilities from discovery to deployment across the warfighting domains.
