## What project 0148 buys

This program supports the Navy's portion of the Department of the Navy's (DON) Studies and Analysis Federally Funded Research and Development Center (DON S&A FFRDC - hereinafter referred to as the FFRDC) Research Program, which is primarily concentrated along thirteen Navy categories of study called product areas. These product areas include the following: (1) Manpower/Personnel, Medical and Training; (2) Intelligence, Information and Networks; (3) Plans, Policy, and Operations; (4) Infrastructure and Readiness; (5) Resources, Programs, and Assessments; (6) Capability Integration; (7) Research, Development and Acquisition; (8) Navy Field Program; (9) Navy Field Exercise Program; (10) Scientific Analyst Program; (11) Navy Quick Response Projects; (12) Navy General Concept Development and (13) Naval Analyses Initiated Projects. This program provides the Navy with independent and objective research and analysis of specific issues/topics in support of key operational problems; efforts include field support to fleet commanders, scientific analyst support to Deputy Chiefs of Naval Operations (DCNOs) and their staffs, exercise support, and studies and analysis across the full spectrum of Naval Operations. Support has resulted in substantial improvements in force structure, fleet effectiveness, and significant cost avoidance.
