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 PB2019 book requested $48.8M for FY2019; the PB2021 book reported $42.4M as actual total obligation authority — $6.44M below the request. 42.4 − 48.8 = -6.4 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Center For Naval Analyses

The Department of the Navy's (DON) Studies and Analysis Federally Funded Research and Development Center (DON S&A FFRDC - hereinafter referred to as the FFRDC) provides independent, objective, and expert analyses based on its unique access to sensitive data and hands-on exposure to fleet operations gained through a world-wide field program. The FFRDC's research program is centrally funded by this program element and is primarily concentrated along one Marine Corps category and thirteen Navy categories of study called product areas. These product areas are structured to enhance the FFRDC's focus of research and analysis upon the major present and future needs and issues of the Navy and the Marine Corps. Because of rapid advances in technology, changes in the fleet, the increasing complexity of weapon systems, and reductions in manpower, force structure, budgets, the current security environment, and Department of Defense (DOD) transformation, the Navy and Marine Corps have a greater need for analyses that are sophisticated, relevant, and timely. The FFRDC conducts research and analysis at all security classification levels, to include Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Programs (SAP). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.

Mission — MCOAG

This project supports the Marine Corps portion of the Department of the Navy's (DoN) Studies and Analysis Federally Funded Research and Development Center (DoN S&A FFRDC - hereinafter referred to as the FFRDC) Research Program, and is managed as an element of the Marine Corps Studies System. This program provides the Marine Corps with independent and objective research and analysis of specific issues/topics appropriately performed by a FFRDC. Marine Corps Division analysts work at the FFRDC's headquarters and, through the FFRDC's Field representative Program serve at commands worldwide, including: Marine Forces Command, Marine Forces Pacific, Marine Special Operations Command, the three Marine Expeditionary Forces, and Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1). The FFRDC also assigns analysts to support the Deputy Commandants and their staffs as well as other Marine Corps organizations such as the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Marine Corps Systems Command, and the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve. The program areas are linked to the Marine Corps Advocacy (prepotency), which are: (1) Logistics and Infrastructure; (2) Manpower and Training; (3) Research, Development and Acquisition; (4) Operations and Plans; (5) Programs and Resources; (6) Aviation; (7) Combat Development and Integration; and (8) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. FFRDC Scientific Analyst support provides six scientific analysts for the following six focus areas: Deputy Commandant (DC), Plans, Policies and Operations; DC Aviation; DC Installation and Logistics; DC Programs and Resources; DC Manpower Reserve Affairs; and Director, Manpower Plans (MP) - Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA). The program continues analytical support for field exercises; Ad Hoc and Quick Response study requirements.

Mission — Center For Naval Analyses (CNA)

This program supports the Navy's portion of the Department of the Navy's (DON) Studies and Analysis Federally Funded Research and Development Center (DON S&A FFRDC - hereinafter referred to as the FFRDC) Research Program, which is primarily concentrated along thirteen Navy categories of study called product areas. These product areas include the following: (1) Manpower/Personnel, Medical and Training; (2) Intelligence, Information and Networks; (3) Plans, Policy, and Operations; (4) Infrastructure and Readiness; (5) Resources, Programs, and Assessments; (6) Capability Integration; (7) Research, Development and Acquisition; (8) Navy Field Program; (9) Navy Field Exercise Program; (10) Scientific Analyst Program; (11) Navy Quick Response Projects; (12) Navy General Concept Development and (13) Naval Analyses Initiated Projects. This program provides the Navy with independent and objective research and analysis of specific issues/topics in support of key operational problems; efforts include field support to fleet commanders, scientific analyst support to Deputy Chiefs of Naval Operations (DCNOs) and their staffs, exercise support, and studies and analysis across the full spectrum of Naval Operations. Support has resulted in substantial improvements in force structure, fleet effectiveness, and significant cost avoidance.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)

CENTER FOR NAVAL ANALYSES, NAVY

Funding in this project supports integrated research for the Department of Navy (DON) and other DOD components across a broad range of issues including the development and evaluation of tactics, operations testing of new systems, assessment of current capabilities, logistics and readiness, work-force management, space and space-related activities, cyber operations, cost and operational program analysis, assessment of advanced technology, force planning, and strategies implications of political-military developments. CNA provides analytic support and conducts individual analytic efforts for a wide range of DON sponsors including: OPNAV and HQMC, the Navy Secretariat, Type Commanders, the numbered Fleets and Navy/Marine Corps component commanders, Combatant Commands, and SYSCOMs. It often also provides support to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, other military Services and Defense agencies.

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 Center for Naval Analyses. 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? →
