Project detail

What project 3310 buys

Funding supports Naval aviation pre-Milestone B developmental activities to include the conduct and integration of systems engineering activities. This project unit provides information, automated tools, and decision aids necessary to perform acquisition planning in support of warfighter capability requirements. This project unit also supports research, development, and analysis efforts to include various studies, joint requirements analysis, and cost analysis in support of systems engineering activities, analyses of alternatives, and development of Capability Evolution Plan. Due to high turnover and end of service life of several Naval aircraft set against increasing threat capabilities, DOW 5000 series mandates documentation of capability requirements and mechanisms to obtain these capabilities. This project unit allows Naval aviation the means to properly identify capability gaps and potential solutions required to maintain maximum warfighting capability realizing (or achieving) reductions to technical risks and overall program costs.

What project 2097 buys

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) has a continuing need for studies and analysis of Manpower and Personnel (M&P) policies and programs and critical M&P issues that have Navy-wide implications. This project provides an essential management tool to: (a) assess the effectiveness of existing M&P policies and programs; (b) identify needs for new policies and programs; (c) determine the required manpower and training mix relative to changing demographic, societal and legislative/regulatory actions, and to evolving strategic and geopolitical factors; (d) study the impact of M&P programs on Navy accession, attrition, retention, and performance; and, (e) to develop, validate and/or refine a broad range of M&P forecasting models. The program permits Navy to more effectively utilize Research and Development expertise to respond to emergent M&P issues on a continuing basis. This program is funded under RDT&E operational systems development because it encompasses engineering and development of new end-items prior to production approval decision. Military Service Academies (MSA) Uniform Nomination Portal program is promulgated by Section 575 of the NDAA (FY) 2021 (Public Law 116-283) that requires the Department to establish a uniform nomination portal for all three MSAs that enable Members of Congress to nominate individuals for appointment to each MSA through a single secure website and have the ability to collect and report demographic information by nominating source. The Secretary of the Navy (United States Naval Academy) is the lead Service of the MSA Uniform Nomination Portal project. In coordination with the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force, the Secretary of the Navy will lead the effort to develop and implement the Uniform Nomination Portal and demographic database.
