What project 2098 buys
Navy Postgraduate School (NPS) research and analysis activities serve as a focal point, stimulus, and major source of strategic, tactical and operational thought within the Navy communities. These efforts generate strategic and operational alternatives, tactical imperatives, quantitative analyses, technical developments and assessments, and political-military assessments. Also, provide recommendations to the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Fleet Commanders and numbered Fleet Commanders regarding the formulation and execution of maritime options for the President of the United States. Research will be conducted that will enhance graduate education for Naval Officers and potentially provide students with areas of studies for theses and faculty projects. These research activities also serve as a means for OPNAV Resource Sponsors and Major Commands to have analysis and decision support research conducted in the uses of the applied, soft, and hard sciences in solving diverse and complex resource allocation and strategic issues facing the Navy today and envisioned in the future.

2 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Conduct studies in support of the Secretary of the Navy, multiple organizations within the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Fleets. Planned studies in the following areas: - Combat Systems - Cyber and Information Systems - Data Science & Decisions - Defense Systems Management - Global Security Competition - Maritime…
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work Laboratory Modernization and Sustainment program funds will be prioritized to re-equip laboratories in newly modernized Halligan Hall, supporting Materials and Aerospace Engineering-related teaching and research laboratories. Additionally, NPS will implement a lab sustainment process based on equipment and spaces lifecycle and technology changes.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase reflects standard pricing adjustment.
FY2026 plans — current year NPS is currently conducting a campus-wide assessment of teaching and research laboratories, focusing on STEM and cyber capabilities (secure and non-secure). Laboratory Modernization and Sustainment program funds will be allocated to the priority laboratories. Additionally, funding will be allocated to support temporary laboratory swing spaces while NPS undergoes the modernization of campus buildings.
