Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Freedom of maneuver on a global scale for U.S. naval forces depends upon assured access to the electromagnetic spectrum and the ability to deny adversary exploitation. Electromagnetic technologies must fluidly deliver communication, surveillance electronic warfare and digital integration to understand, shape and defend the battlespace. The Electromagnetic Systems Applied Research Program addresses technology needs associated with Naval platforms for new capabilities in Electro-Optic and Infrared (EO/IR) Sensors, Surveillance, Electronic Warfare, Navigation, Solid State Electronics, Vacuum Electronics Power Amplifiers, and Nanoelectronics.

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.
