Introduction: 

Introduction The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is responsible for all Naval Science & Technology ONR has investments in unmanned vehicle technologies across the board Air, Ground, Underwater Sensors, Communications, and associated technologies ONR’s S&T investment in unmanned vehicle autonomy will increase significantly with the advent of the Future Naval Capabilities in FY02 ONR has centers of excellence in Artificial Intelligence and Small / Micro Air Vehicles at the Naval Research Laboratory ONR S&T programs support the Navy’s UAV and UUV Roadmaps

Slide4: 

CNR Fleet/Force Initiatives FNCs Discovery and Invention The Way Ahead for Naval S&T …a look at tomorrow through the porthole of today...

Future Naval Capabilities: 

What are Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs)? A process to align and partner the Requirements, Acquisition and S&T communities to focus S&T investments to deliver and transition priority Naval capabilities within the FYDP Future Naval Capabilities

“Technology Valley of Death”: 

“Technology Valley of Death” Funding Time

Future Naval Capabilities: 

Future Naval Capabilities Why have Future Naval Capabilities? Focus critical mass on the highest priority capabilities Ensure more rapid transition to acquisition and deployment to Naval Forces

Problem: 

Problem $ t Critical Mass means this... But we need this... This Declining total research funding for a stable number of programs reduces programs below transition critical mass

Future Naval Capabilities: 

Future Naval Capabilities What is a “Spike”? FNC’s have components; The FNC is a high level area of research focus The FNC is divided into prioritized smaller units called Enabling Capabilities A “Spike” is the S&T program that addresses each Enabling Capability. Each Enabling Capability has at least one “Spike” and can have more than one “Spike”

Spike Characteristics: 

Each FNC “Spike” will: provide significant technology options and operating concepts for the DON capability have a significant budget have definite milestones and objectives have concrete deliverables and a finite end state culminate in well-defined demonstrations and transition to R&D, acquisition or industry Spike Characteristics

Future Naval Capabilities: 

Future Naval Capabilities How do FNC programs differ from other ONR programs? The key to FNC’s is that they focus on transition rather than technology. Developing new and more capable technologies cannot compromise the transition agreement. FNC’s must deliver their products with the required capabilities, on -time and within their budget

Autonomy Goals: 

Autonomy Goals Develop an autonomous, intelligent, real-time Surveillance & Recce capability To achieve operational capability comparable to manned vehicles for such types of missions For Distributed, Collaborative and multi-vehicle Coordinated Operation with other unmanned and manned vehicles To operate in dynamic and unstructured environments For Planning under Uncertainty against an intelligent adversary For Independent Action / Adaptation With Situation & Self Awareness To greatly reduce the need for human intervention Remove humans from dull, dirty, dangerous missions To achieve an affordable high level of autonomous Mission Effectiveness, Safety and Survivability (UAV) To operate on their own in controlled airspace (civil and military)

So in conclusion…..: 

So in conclusion….. FNC’s are a new way of doing S&T at ONR… cost, time and performance are all critical to FNC success As before, FNC success depends on the entire ONR Team
