A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program element (PE) provides for surface ship and submarine technology developments that contribute to meeting the joint warfare capabilities established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff; namely to promptly engage regional forces in decisive combat on a global level, to employ a range of capabilities more suitable to actions at the lower end of the full range of military operations which allow achievement of military objectives with minimum casualties and collateral damage, and to counter the threat of weapons of mass destruction and future ballistic missile and cruise missiles to the United States and deployed forces.
(U) This PE develops affordable hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) technology options for both surface ships and submarines, and logistics technology and environmental protection for all Navy platforms and those shore facilities that directly support them.
(U) The surface ship and submarine (HM&E) portion of this program is divided into four technology thrusts: Structural Systems, Power and Automation, Signature Control, and Maneuvering and Seakeeping. They include electromagnetic and acoustic signature reduction, structural and weapon related survivability improvement, electrical and mechanical system efficiency, damage control, hydrodynamics, and propulsion alternatives. In addition, affordability for reduced acquisition and life-cycle costs is being pursued in all technology thrusts. Concepts that reduce the cost of design, fabrication, outfitting, maintenance, and operation are being developed. This HM&E technology spans various Joint Mission Areas and supports the Joint Warfare Strategy "Forward ...From the Sea."
(U) Beginning in FY 1998 funding for Logistics and Environmental Quality technology will moved from PE 0602233N to this more appropriate PE.
(U) Logistics technologies increase operational readiness through effective management and movement of supplies ashore and at-sea, and advanced techniques for more cost-effective construction and maintenance of shore and off-shore facilities. Technology development in these areas responds to a variety of requirements, including: providing the logistic support needed to support amphibious landing; providing the diagnostic technologies that will enable the implementation of a condition-based vs. time-based maintenance philosophy; and providing a long distance logistics supply chain with short reaction time.
(U) Environmental quality technologies enable sustained Navy operations, world wide, in compliance with all national and international laws, regulations and agreements. Technology development in this area is in direct support of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) prioritized Navy user and Science and Technology (S&T) requirements and will lead to systems and processes that will provide the Fleet with the capabilities for environmentally compliant forward presence both ashore and afloat. Specific requirements that support this area include: minimizing the curtailment of military operations due to ship, shore and aircraft compliance requirements; and providing the capability to sustain Naval forces anywhere in a timely and environmentally compliant manner.
(U) Due to broad scope of efforts included in this Program Element, the programs described in the Accomplishments and Plans sections are representative selections of work included in this program element.
(U) The Navy S&T program includes projects that focus on or have attributes that enhance the affordability of warfighting systems.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is budgeted within the APPLIED RESEARCH Budget Activity because it investigates technological advances with possible applications toward solution of specific Naval problems, short of a major development effort.
