What project 1510 buys

Technology Candidates supporting Expeditionary and Naval Forces. The objective is to develop and mature technologies needed by the Navy to initiate FNCs that can be commenced at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). The FNC Program is structured to accelerate the transition of new technologies to the Fleet and Force. Each effort is assessed for its technology maturity and transition commitment.

Funding trajectory

Project 1510 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.

Inside the project

4 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.
