The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2017 book requested $41.4M for FY2017; the PB2019 book reported $70.0M as actual total obligation authority — $28.6M above the request. 70.0 − 41.4 = 28.6 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Power Proj Applied Research
In an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled maritime battlespace, the ability to fight at the speed of light will determine the outcome. The effective defense against threats increasingly beyond human speed, will enable U.S. naval forces to outthink, outmaneuver and outfight adversaries. This Program Element (PE) supports both advanced technology research and near to mid-term transition opportunities. The advanced research focus is primarily on Directed Energy, High Speed Weapon Propulsion, Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor Technologies. The goal of this research is to develop technologies and capabilities that enable Directed Energy (DE) weapons as well as defense against adversary DE systems; the development of vehicle and propulsion technology for high-speed weapons operating from Mach 3 and beyond; investment in the areas of Electro Optic/Infrared devices and advanced sensors; and technologies that provide the navy of the future the ability to quickly locate, target, and strike critical targets in the maritime environment and ashore. Today's Sailors and Marines are enabled by naval Science and Technology (S&T). Since 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has fostered scientific research related to the maintenance of maritime superiority and national defense. ONR manages the Department of the Navy's (DON) portfolio of naval Basic Research, Applied Research, and Advanced Technology Development investments to ensure naval forces can effectively deter conflict, but when called upon, fight, win and come home safe. Current investments hedge against uncertainty, providing solutions to commanders today, and options for the future. The Naval S&T budget supports higher guidance defined by the National Defense Strategy, and responds to requirements identified by the Secretary of the Navy through research priorities set by the Chief of Naval Research, coordinated across the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), and outlined in the Naval R&D Framework. This Program Element (PE) funds Applied Research, which is the systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need. Most of the work in this PE can be classified between Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2 (technology concept and/or application formulation) and TRL 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environments). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Directed Energy
The goal of this activity is to develop technologies and capabilities that enable Directed Energy (DE) weapons for naval applications as well as defense against adversary DE systems. The advanced research focus is in Naval Ship Defense, Naval Air Defense, and Naval Precision Strike Operations. The scope of this activity includes systems, subsystems and their associated technologies. These technologies provide naval forces the ability to quickly engage critical and emerging targets, in cost effective means, while minimizing potential collateral damage, as well as the ability to defend against and counter adversarial modes of attack.
High Speed Propulsion and Advanced Weapon Technologies
This activity is focused on applied research to support the development of vehicle, propulsion, and energetic material technologies for high-speed and advanced weapons. The goal is to develop computational, experimental and flight testing capabilities along with the workforce needed to support the development of high speed, advanced weapons. Research includes: Objectives: - Prediction and control of hypersonic boundary-layers and shock-wave boundary-layer interactions - Development of hypersonic and advanced weapon technology ground test facilities, instrumentation and nonintrusive diagnostics - Prediction of interactions between materials and the high-speed flight environment such as flight through weather and oxidation of thermal protection systems - Development of improved modeling tools to predict the aerothermal and aerodynamic performance of hypersonic and advanced weapons over a wide range of velocities and altitudes - Development of ultra-high temperature materials, cooling strategies and thermal protection systems that can survive the launch and flight environment - Development high-speed propulsion technologies such as solid fuel ramjets
Navigation, Electro Optic/Infrared (EO/IR), and Sensor Technologies
This activity describes Navy Science and Technology investments in the areas of Electro Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) devices and advanced sensors and includes investment/performance in the technology areas of EO/IR, Electronic Warfare (EW), Electromagnetic Warfare, and Communications.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Power Projection Applied Research. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
