## What project 0304 buys

Technology Maturation and Transition: Funds vetted and endorsed experimentation, demonstration and prototyping of technologies and capabilities based on projects curated from initiatives throughout the joint and USN innovation portfolio. Projects align with National Defense Strategy (NDS), Chief of Naval Operations and Fleet priorities and receive USN endorsement based on a rigorous vetting process and the closure of critical capability gaps. Projects are cross-domain and accelerate integration of high priority technologies to enable transition into Programs of Record and support warfighter needs.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Management Services.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
