## What project 3389 buys

Project 3389 - Develops enabling technologies for future and in-service afloat operational logistics and integrated supply systems; defines integrated combat logistics force and combatant logistics requirements; and conducts cooperative initiatives with acquisition programs, program sponsors, engineering managers, the Navy science and technology community, and Fleet customers. Operational Logistics Integration R&D (OPLOG) develops new logistics platforms, integrated cross-platform (i.e., applicable to more than one ship class/type) operational logistics and operational energy technologies and capabilities, as well as draft acquisition and operations policy ensuring future Naval systems leverage emerging logistic capabilities and technologies to provide operationally effective and efficient logistics delivery for both peacetime and wartime contested environments. Though the operational logistics family of systems touches all aspects of Naval presence and power projection, operational logistics capability and system interfaces typically have been left to individual acquisition programs to develop and resolve. Technology development is necessary to mitigate technological and operational risk before ship acquisition programs accept new technologies. This project provides a foundation for the transition and systems development of science & technology initiatives evolving from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Power & Energy Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), Enterprise and Platform Enablers FNC, Seabasing FNC, and from other enabling Government, industry and academia concepts to the acquisition community. Thus, this project resources continued research and development of appropriate technologies with applicability to multiple acquisition programs and defines and matures performance and interface requirements for those technologies. This project continues to identify, develop, integrate, demonstrate, and transition logistics technologies to improve both the cost effectiveness of Fleet at sea logistics delivery in peacetime, as well as delivery capability effectiveness in wartime, through outreach, coordination and collaboration with industry, academia, Fleet, and Enterprise representatives.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### Advanced Systems

Research, development and testing of advanced refueling systems and concepts to include: completion of the iMFDS at sea demonstration; DP CONSOL investigation, concept design, and material procurement; and MCAK 2.0 initial concept designs and initial material procurement.

### Joint Petroleum Over The Shore (JPOTS) Family of Systems (FoS) — NEW START

**FY2027 planned work.** Funding supports industry market research to identify technology enhancements for JPOTS, initial concept development, and operational testing of existing FoS capabilities.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** $7.189 million increase is for the new JPOTS program established to mature additional FoS capabilities for future integration. Notes: Funds are for BSO52 (NAVFAC), not BSO24 and will be realigned.
