turbine engine propulsion, part of the Total Ownership Cost FNC. ONR investments in aviation also include Marine Corps programs for heavy-lift rotorcraft and the reconfigurable rotor blade, as well as congressionally directed aviation investments, including the variable exhaust nozzle, DP-2, anticorrosion modeling software, integrated processor fuel cell, integrated aircraft health management, advanced thin-film coatings, and aviation ground navigation systems.

In its 2001 Assessment of the Office of Naval Research's Aircraft Technology Program,3 there was concern that the technical program was not influenced by a long-range vision or strategic planning for the future of naval aircraft technology. To that end, the report recommended that the staff of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV)

The full terms of reference are given in Appendix A Not intended to be an in-depth technical review of the current naval aviation programs at ONR, the current study focuses on identifying promising naval aviation S&T opportunities and capabilities that might enable the naval and joint operational concepts expressed in Naval Power 215 and Joint Vision 2020.6 The Navy and Marine Corps have defined their respective Service visions in Sea Power 217 and Marine Corps Strategy 21,8 and together they form Naval Power 21,9 the vision of how the naval forces of the United States will be equipped, trained, educated, organized, and employed in the 21st century.

The committee did not receive a comprehensive briefing on each of the aviation programs and projects within ONR since a detailed technical review was not the goal of the study. The committee heard presentations from the Chief of Naval Research, the Technical Director of ONR, the Chief Technology Officer of NAVAIR, the Deputy Assistant Commander for Research and Engineering at NAVAIR, the S&T Director of the Air Warfare Division of OPNAV, the Deputy Commandant for Aviation, Headquarters Marine Corps, the Director of Research at NRL, the Director of Weapons Systems in the Office of the Secretary of Defense Research and Engineering, the Sea Trial Director of the Navy Warfare Development Command, and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E)

As this study was being finalized, the committee learned that such a road map for naval aviation in the 21st century, Naval Aviation Vision 2020,13 has now been created by the Commander of Naval Air Forces, Director, Air Warfare Division in OPNAV, and the Commander of NAVAIR. Lacking for use in its study a naval aviation strategic plan at NAVAIR and OPNAV and a naval aviation strategic S&T plan at ONR for meeting the requirements of Naval Power 21, the committee developed the following approach to recommending future capabilities and associated technology developments that could form the basis of a revitalized aviation S&T program at ONR.

The committee has attempted to categorize these technology developments as naval unique, naval essential, or naval relevant and to position them in the 2007 to 2010 and 2011 to 2025 time frames wherever possible. These technology development areas can provide the basis of a revitalized naval aviation S&T program at ONR, and will go a long way toward positioning naval aviation as a major contributor to the success of Naval Power 21.
