(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program demonstrates high-risk/high-payoff technologies that could significantly improve Joint Chiefs of Staff's Future Joint Warfighting Capabilities. Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) programs cover integrating and assessing technology in a realistic operational environment. These programs offer an opportunity to identify and move efficiently emerging technologies from laboratory experiments to fleet systems. ATD programs are selected for a match between technological potential and Navy requirements which are derived from operational issues of concern to the fleet, Joint Mission Area/Support Area assessments, and the Science and Technology Roundtables. Risk-reducing ATDs are focused on laying the technical foundations for acquiring improvements to future joint warfighting capabilities. Each demonstration is designed to assess the extent to which the technology is feasible, affordable and compatible with operational concepts and projected force structure. Fiscal year 1996 funds for project R2290 reflect a Congressional increase to complete construction for a demonstration of a new low waterplane design of a small waterplane area twin hull ship.

(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.

B. (U) PROGRAM CHANGE SUMMARY:

FY 1995 FY 1996 FY 1997

(U) FY 1996 President's Budget: 71,668 96,825 108,423

(U) Adjustments from FY 1996 PRESBUDG: -1,665 -21,231 -3,999

(U) FY 1997 PRESBUDG Submit: 70,003 75,594 104,424

(U) CHANGE SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

(U) Funding: FY 1995 decrease due to Science and Technology rescission ($1,000) and reduced program requirements

(-$665). FY 1996 decrease due to Congressional undistributed ($18,825), undistributed Congressional reductions

($1,485); and revised DoD economic assumptions ($921). FY 1997 cut reflects a combination of direction to execute a

high risk, high payoff demonstration of an improved projectile for naval surface fire support (+$5,000), revised DoD

inflation estimates (-$3,198) and other pricing adjustments (-$5,801).

(U) Schedule: Reductions have delayed a new start demonstration of an electromagnetic environment monitoring system for real-time control of combat system frequency assignment from FY 1996 to

FY 1997. Terminations in FY 1996 include Helmet-Mounted Mission Rehearsal Simulation System and

Vibrotactile Spatial Orientation.

(U) Technical: Reductions have delayed the Navy's ability to demonstrate key advanced technology developments which are essential to the Navy's future warfighting capability.
