A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program focuses science and technology resources in the areas of Precision Strike and Air Superiority/Defense in support of the Joint chiefs of Staff's (JCS's) top five Joint Warfighting Capabilities and the following Joint Mission Areas (JMAs): Joint Strike, Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, Nuclear Deterrence and Forward Presence/Deterrence.

(U) Precision Strike integrates surveillance and targeting capabilities developed in the Global Surveillance area with high-speed processing and precision weapons for rapid response against high-value, short-dwell targets over extended ranges. The Navy Tactical Missile System provided a demonstration launch of a Navy variant of the Army Tactical Missile System from a ship in support of the Navy's Surface Fire Support mission.

(U) The Air Superiority and Defense area develops and demonstrates all-weather, day/night engagement capabilities against manned aircraft, cruise missiles (including supersonic sea-skimmers), helicopters and tactical ballistic missiles that will be employing stealth and countermeasures. The Airship Demonstration assesses the potential contribution that airships could make to the airborne component of the ship self defense/cooperative engagement capability, over-the-horizon targeting and surveillance, and other relevant mission areas. Supporting the Nuclear Deterrence and Forward Presence/Deterrence JMAs, the Mobile Offshore Base Project will demonstrate the feasibility of a forward positioned Strike Platform in geographical areas where surrounding non-aligned countries desire to maintain their sovereignty.

(U) Beginning in FY 96, the PE was divided into two projects; Cruise Missile Defense (R2145) and Mobile Offshore Base (R2266). These two projects were both previously funded within project R2145. Beginning in FY 98, this PE will include two additional projects; the Navy Science Assistance Program (R0834) transferred from PE 0205658N, and the Fleet Advanced Technology Demonstration (R2314) a FY 98 new start.

(U) Cruise Missile Defense (CMD): This is a continuation of a program initiated in FY 94. The Cruise Missile Defense Advanced Technology effort includes: 1) an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), Phase I, which demonstrates that an AEGIS ship (or other surface based missile launch platform) using one or more surrogate airborne sensor partners can provide greatly expanded air defense capabilities leading to a robust capability against overland cruise missiles beyond surface based radar line-of-sight; 2) and a CMD Phase II that accelerates and aligns E-2C AEW aircraft and Standard Missile (SM-2) programs toward a fielded CMD capability and balances performance, cost, schedule and risk across multiple technology programs; and initiates advanced missile technology efforts to develop and demonstrate engagement capabilities against next generation overland cruise missiles.

(U) Mobile Offshore Base (MOB): New project starting in FY 96 to develop a MOB concept to provide a means by which a long-term U.S. presence can be maintained. Technology issues associated with both semi-submersible and mono-hull modules connected into platforms between 1000 and 3000 meters in length will be explored. Technical challenges include mobility to get on station, as well as sea keeping and stability to support cargo transfer.

(U) The Naval Science Assistance Program (NSAP): This is a continuation of the project previously funded in PE 0205658N (Naval Science Assistance Program) through FY 1997. Provide on-the-spot technical assistance, insertion, and advice to Joint, Naval, and Marine Corps Commands by assigning and managing 32 Science and Technology (S&T) Advisors worldwide. Develop S&T issues and requirements documents to influence the longer term S&T programs. Develop a cadre of civilian scientists and engineers fluent in operational issues. Identify mature technologies which have the potential for improving readiness and warfighting capabilities and evaluate selected technologies, determined by the Commander in Chiefs (CINCs), in operational environments. Serve as the two way bridge between the operational and S&T communities. Beginning in FY 1998, this PE incorporates the Naval Technology Insertion Program (NTIP) (initiated in FY 1996 in PE 0603217N, Project R2282, by Congressional plus-up) to provide for rapid insertion of mature technologies selected by Fleet CINCs into operational forces in small numbers, for test and evaluation in operational settings.

(U) Fleet Advanced Demonstration: This project demonstrates high-risk/high-payoff technologies that could significantly enhance the warfighting capabilities of the fleet and joint forces and provides the opportunity to identify and move emerging technologies quickly and efficiently from the laboratory to the fleet. Fleet Advanced Demonstrations are selected for a match between technological potential and Naval requirements which are derived from operational issues of concern to the fleet, Joint Mission Area/Support Area assessments, and the S&T Roundtables. Each demonstration is designed to assess the extent to which the advanced technology is feasible, affordable and compatible with operational concepts and projected force structure.

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 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Budget Activity because it encompasses design, development, simulation, or experimental testing or prototype hardware to validate technological feasibility and concept of operations and reduce technological risk prior to initiation of a new acquisition program or transition to an ongoing acquisition program.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This is a continuation of the project previously funded in PE 0205658N (Naval Science Assistance Program) through FY97. The project provides on-the-spot Science and Technology (S&T) Advisors to Joint, Navy, and Marine Corps operational commands worldwide, solves real problems rapidly and inexpensively by insertion and evaluation of mature technologies in operational environments, and provides S&T issues and requirements documents to influence the longer term S&T programs. The program produces a cadre of civilian scientists and engineers fully conversant in operational issues, a compendium of mature technologies, not yet in the acquisition portfolio, available to Fleet Commanders for early at-sea evaluation and concurrent development of new tactics and concepts of operation. NSAP is the two-way bridge between the warfighter and the technical community.

FY 1998 reflects initiation of a new strategy for the Naval Science Assistance Program (NSAP). Until FY 1997, the approach

was to support a large field team of Science and Technology Advisors assigned to operational commands worldwide. During

FY97, NSAP will transition to a smaller corps of advisors while increasing emphasis on rapid, affordable solutions to real

operational problems. This strategy has been developed with the concurrence of the Chief of Naval Operations and is being

implemented cooperatively with the Navy Fleet Commanders and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
