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
• ONRs ST 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 ST programs support the Navys UAV and UUV
  Roadmaps

Future Naval Capabilities

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

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

8
Problem
This
Declining total research funding for a stable
number of programs reduces programs below
transition critical mass

t
means this...
Critical Mass
But we need this...

Future Naval Capabilities

• What is a Spike?
• FNCs 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 ST program that addresses
  each Enabling Capability. Each Enabling
  Capability has at least one Spike and can have
  more than one Spike

10
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 RD, acquisition or industry

11
Future Naval Capabilities

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

Autonomous Operations
1 Provide access to area of responsibility
through organic unmanned systems that can be
dynamically retasked 2 Enable automated
surveillance and reconnaissance in all
environmental conditions 3 Enable automated
surveillance and reconnaissance data processing
4 Enable secure, jam-resistant sensor to shooter
to weapon connectivity. 5 Minimize human
intervention and enable manned/unmanned platform
operations and interoperability. 6 Enable
unmanned mine clearance operations. 7 Enable
electronic attack, platform protection, and force
protection through the use of unmanned systems.
8 Enable expeditionary logistics with unmanned
systems.

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..

• FNCs are a new way of doing ST at ONR cost,
  time and performance are all critical to FNC
  success
• As before, FNC success depends on the entire ONR
