MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day Brief 17 April 2007 Sam Taylor, Ph.D. ONR Product Line Manager

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 2 Outline Review of ONR S&T portfolio Future Naval Capabilities and Transition LCS MIW Mission Package Manning Challenges Broad Agency Announcement Opportunities BAA Schedule

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 3 ONR Mission Statement "To foster, plan, facilitate and transition scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance to enable future naval power and the preservation of national security."

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 4 D&I – Basic Research and early exploratory development FNC – Product delivery with target acquisition program and sponsor INP – Prototype development without necessarily having a target acquisition program Other – OSD Directed ONR S&T Portfolios Future Naval Capabilities Discovery and Invention Innovative Naval Prototypes Other

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 5 Future Naval Capabilities Sea Shield Sea Strike Sea Basing FORCEnet Enterprise and Platform Enablers Sea Warrior Best technology solutions to stated OPNAV requirements by bundling discrete but interrelated S & T products that deliver a distinctly measurable improvement within a five-year time frame.

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 6 Future Naval Capabilities FNCs are broken down into distinct enabling capabilities (EC) that address certain warfighting gaps identified by OPNAV Each EC is composed of distinct product lines that, when bundled together, deliver a capability that fills the gap. Designed to bridge the technology valley of death

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 7 Transition The metric used to determine the successful delivery of the measurable improvement is Transition. What make up a Transition? –S&T delivers mature products to acquisition for development and production program –S&T Product Transition occurs when exit criteria is met and the acquisition program office commences integration efforts –Technology Transition Agreement (TTA) is signed on the acceptable product maturity and readiness (Technology Readiness Level). TTA is signed by the resource sponsor, acquisition sponsor, and ONR.

17 April 2007MCM Systems for Littoral Combat Ship Advanced Flight Mission Package Industry Day 8 Technology Readiness Levels Technology Readiness Level Description 4. Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment. Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together. This is relatively “ low fidelity ” compared to the eventual system. Examples include integration of “ ad hoc ” hardware in the laboratory. 5. Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment. Fidelity of breadboard technology increases significantly. The basic technological components are integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements so it can be tested in a simulated environment. Examples include “ high fidelity ” laboratory integration of components. 6. System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment. Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond that of TRL 5, is tested in a relevant environment. Represents a major step up in a technology ’ s demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a high-fidelity laboratory environment or in simulated operational environment. DOD DESKBOOK R – (Appendix 6)
