Naval Research:Statutory Mission
VannevarBush
Harry S Truman
Office of Naval Research (Public Law 588, 1946):“… plan, foster, and encourage scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance as related to
the maintenance of future naval power, and the preservation of national security.… ”
Transitioning S&T (Defense Authorization Act, 2001):
“…manage the Navy’s basic, applied, and advanced
research to foster transition from science and technology to
higher levels of research, development, test, and
evaluation.”
Naval Research Laboratory (Appropriations Act, 1916):“[Conduct] exploratory and research work…necessary… for the benefit of Government service, including the construction, equipment, and operation of a laboratory….”
Thomas Edison Josephus

Naval Science & Technology Vision
To inspire and guide innovation that will provide technology-based options for future Navy and Marine Corps capabilities…
…and to avoid technological surprise.

Aging Workforce Fewer US S&E PhDs & Masters Degrees, More to Foreign Students
Global Scope of S&T
Future S&T Knowledge Base -Strategic Vulnerability
• Effect of aging workforce is putting future technical knowledge base at risk
• Graduate & PhD S&E trends make it harder to fill aging workforce gap with security cleared US citizens
• US no longer leads world in generation of new knowledge in fundamental, critical, areas of S&T

Investment Priorities(Integrated Breakout)
Naval Unique–S&T important to Naval operations and funded largely by DoN S&T.–Ocean acoustics, naval engineering, undersea weaponry.
Naval Participation– S&T with elements vital to Naval operations, but where significant
funding sources other than DoN exist. –Airborne radars, communications and networks, materials sciences,
advanced energetic materials.
Naval Harvest–Science or technology with potential to generate new Naval
capabilities or savings, and which DoN should monitor–Nanoscience (potential new material properties), behavioral
sciences.

Naval S&T Investment
• Value proposition ~ Output product/Investment– Competitive advantage, cost-savings, time-to-market
• Level of impact:– Transformational concept of operation– Technological opportunity– Capability gap
