** Funds transferred to Project R0149 in FY 1996

(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program provides management and technical support for several national and international projects.

(U) Project R0115 provided for the salary and administrative costs to maintain the U.S. scientific staff assigned to the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, Undersea Research Center (SACLANTCEN), La Spezia, Italy. Additionally, R0115 supported collaboration between U.S./SACLANTCEN scientists, the lease/loan of equipment, and the purchase of expendables to support the Centre's scientific program.

(U) Project R0149 provided program management, execution, and support to implement a broad range of cooperative naval research and development (R&D) initiatives with allied and friendly nations. Potential cooperative programs were pursued to fulfill established operational requirements, enhance U.S./allied interoperability and standardization, obtain unique foreign technologies, and reduce U.S. developmental and production costs. Such efforts resulted in:

*(U) Development and negotiation of approximately 25 international RDT&E Memoranda of Understanding with allied and friendly nations.

*(U) Management of over 300 information exchange agreements.

*(U) Participation in armaments cooperation fora including the Conference of NATO Armaments Directors groups (e.g., the NATO Naval Armaments Group), Senior National Representative (SNR) consultation, and the Technical Cooperative Program.

(U) Project R1767 supports the Naval War College (NWC) in formulating and developing strategy and campaign alternatives. Under this project, the NWC provides continuing support to the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group, the Center for Naval Warfare Studies, and other CNO, UNIFIED, and Fleet CINC projects in the area of multi-national cooperation and command, control, communications and intelligence.

(U) Project X2221 Funds were consolidated from Project X1991 (P.E. 0603763N) and Projects R0231, R0905, and X1795 (P.E. 0605853N) into this new project in FY 1996. Project X2221 provides analytical and management support for the Planning and Programming process. This project supports the development of annual Joint Mission Area/Support Area/Investment Balance Review/Joint Warfighting Capability assessments which provide the analytical underpinnings and basis for programmatic decisions made by the Navy's top leadership.

(U) Project X2222 provides the overarching policy, coordination and technical support for Naval modeling and simulation. This project responds to Congressional guidance to improve modeling and simulation focus, coordination and oversight. It enhances development and execution of a coordinated Naval M&S program, including distributed simulation tool development, M&S incorporation with C4I systems and embedded training systems, and an orderly process of model Verification, Validation and Accreditation required by current directives.

(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: These programs are funded under RDT&E Management Support because it supports the operations and installations required for general research and development use.
