2 Naval Aviation Operations and Environment (1 of 3) Dynamic Interface: Highly coupled relationship between the ship and aircraft Pitching/heaving decks Wind-over-deck (WOD) Turbulent airwakes Ship layout Short decks; obstructions High Structural Loading Rigors of shipboard launch and recovery High sink rates 2

3 Naval Aviation Operations and Environment (2 of 3) Corrosion Corrosion degradation is much more aggressive and damaging that the most aggressive landbased conditions Compounded by reduced damage tolerance due to high impact loads during launch and recovery 3

4 Naval Aviation Operations and Environment (3 of 3) Deck Operations Challenges stem from close proximity of other aircraft and personnel and safe handling in rough seas Geometric Constraints and Spotting Compact aircraft Wing/rotor folds Shipboard Maintenance Low physical footprints Maintenance accessible designs Limited spares 4

5 National Naval Responsibility (NNR) Purpose To allow ONR to maintain the health/currency/technical superiority of identified Navy-unique S&T in order that: A robust U.S. research capability to work on long term S&T problems of interest to the Department of the Navy is sustained; An adequate pipeline of new scientists and engineers in disciplines of unique Navy importance is maintained; and ONR can continue to provide the S&T products necessary to ensure future superiority in integrated naval warfare. 5

6 Nomination as an NNR S&T areas identified as candidates for NNR status will undergo a detailed review and assessment by a special review board. The program will be assessed in the areas of: (1) Baseline capability of focus area; (2) Program funding and funding trends; (3) Scope of naval responsibility; (4) Scope, degree and stability of non-navy funding sponsors; (5) Performer base (academia, government, industry); (6) Infrastructure (focus area leadership); (7) Knowledge-base pipeline (graduate and postdoctoral programs); (8) Facilities and equipment (ships, test tanks, etc.); (9) Integration with and/or transition to higher category programs ONR must ensure U.S. world leadership in these few unique areas through research, recruitment and education, to maintain an adequate base of talent and sustain critical infrastructure for research and experimentation 6

7 NNR: Stability Achieving Stability in NNRs: Investing and stabilizing additional resources in the relevant programs; Maintaining key areas in basic and applied research; Balancing theoretical and field work to sustain an experimental infrastructure; and Establishing centers of integrated research, as appropriate. Existing NNRs Ocean acoustics Undersea weapons Naval engineering Undersea medicine Proposed new NNRs Precision time & timekeeping Underwater communication Sea-based aviation 7

8 Sea-based Aviation (SBA) National Naval Responsibility (NNR) Objective The sea-based aviation is both unique and complex and inherently dangerous Navy places great emphasis on S&T to maintain Naval superiority *Many S&T areas are unique to the Navy ONR must ensure leadership in sea-based aviation through research, recruitment and education to maintain an adequate talent base and to sustain critical infrastructure * Weapon, sensors, and ship design are outside the SBA NNR scope 8
