### Project 2356 — Maritime Concept Generation & Development

Maritime Concept Generation and Development (MCGD) funding provides naval warfare subject matter expertise, experiment planning expertise, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) support, and analysis expertise to execute fleet experiments (and the individual experiment initiatives contained within) focused on critical warfighting capabilities and the development of Distributed Military Operations and other emerging Naval concepts. Typical deliverables for each experimental effort include: - Experiment control plan - Data Collection and Analysis Plan (DCAP) - Experiment Analysis Summary Reference Document - Experiment Engineering Plan - Final Experiment Report (with Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities - Policy (DOTMLPF-P) recommendations) - New/refined doctrine/Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP). The MCGD project funds four main efforts: (1) Provides critical concept development and experimentation manpower, and warfighting subject matter expertise aligned with the Concept Generation/Concept Development (CG/CD) program. The priorities for the CG/CD program are to develop concept of operations and explore near/far-term technological and non-technological solutions to war fighting gaps across all naval warfare areas. The associated experimentation efforts include planning, systems engineering and integration, modeling and simulation support, event execution, data collection, analysis, and assessment for a wide-range of experimentation efforts including the examination of prototypes, tactical development and evaluation, support for Science and Technology (S&T) innovation, and program of record system development; venues such as workshops, seminars, war games, limited objective experiments, limited technical experiments, and live at-sea events are used to execute these experimentation efforts. (2) Provides naval warfare subject matter expertise, experiment planning expertise, and analysis expertise to plan, execute, and assess experimentation for the fleets and warfighting development centers (WDC) at the operational and tactical levels. This includes a focus on WDC integration role, maritime command and control (C2), advanced cross-domain warfighting, and maritime operations centers (MOCS)/operational level of war (OLW) lines of operations.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Defense Technical Information Center (8.4, 97%), ONR (0.3, 3.5%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maritime Concept Generation and Development | 8.6 | 6.6 | 8.7 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 100% | 8.7 |

**Top named industry performers:** Defense Technical Information Center ($8.4M, 97%), ONR ($0.3M, 3.5%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Maritime Concept Generation and Development (MCGD) funding provides naval warfare subject matter expertise, experiment planning expertise, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) support, and analysis expertise to execute fleet experiments (and the individual experiment initiatives contained within) focused on critical warfighting capabilities and the development of Distributed Military Operations and other emerging Naval concepts.

This funding is used to acquire intellectual capital in emerging conceptual and technical areas through contracts providing expertise in concepts and experiment design, execution and analysis to mitigate fleet-identified current and future warfighting gaps.
