Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development

Added: July 17, 2007 Modified: September 6, 2007Track Changes The overall goal of this solicitation is to foster new developments in Science and Technology which may ultimately lead to future operational capabilities beyond those represented by current acquisition programs and requirements. As such, it is anticipated that successful proposals would ultimately contribute to the scientific and technological underpinning from which future Marine Corps and Combating Terrorism warfighting requirements and capabilities may become possible. By necessity, the Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development efforts are extremely technically diverse. As such, efforts are divided into six Thrust Areas each representing operational functions critical to Expeditionary Warfare. Brief descriptions of ongoing efforts within the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare thrust areas are posted at http://www.onr.navy.mil/sci_tech/30/. Other references describing concepts for Marine Corps future warfighting include MC Strategy 21, Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Capability List, Science & Technology Strategic Plan, and Distributed Operations that can be found at https://www.mccdc.usmc.mil/.
