Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Technology
Requirements
The Future Naval Capabilities
process was instituted in 1998 to raise the S&T investment focus from
individual technology goals to the achievement of future capabilities for
Naval forces. Input to the Future Naval Capabilities came from the CINC's
Command Capability Issues (CCIs) and from OPNAV/HQMC capabilities needs. The
OPNAV/HQMC capabilities were organized within the structure of the CCIs and
the results condensed to the level of greatest commonality. The result was
the following set of Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs), which were approved
by the DoN S&T Corporate Board. Detailed information on the required
enabling capabilities and supporting technologies ("Products") to develop
these FNCs is avaiable on the DoN S&T FNC web site.

NAVAIR Technologies
The Naval Aviation Systems Team's (TEAM's) products include: aircraft,
avionics, air-launched weapons, electronic warfare systems, cruise
missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, launch and arresting gear, training
equipment and facilities, and all other equipment related to Navy and
Marine Corps air power.
NAVAIR Science and Technology
The Naval Aviation Science and Techology competency is the central program
coordinator for the Naval Aviation Systems Team's (TEAM's) Science and
Technology (S&T) Program. The Naval Aviation Science and Techology Office
(NAVSTO) provides direction, oversight and focus for all S&T activities
within the TEAM as well as serving as the spokesman for all external
organizations. NAVSTO orchestrates the operations of product line teams (PLT)
to effect policies, guidance, and administration of the S&T Program and
oversees the execution of S&T projects through the use of TEAM competency
resources. The five PLTs (Aircraft Systems; Weapons; Avionics and
Sensors; Training, Simulation and Modeling; and Integrated Support
Systems) are the principal TEAM components for planning, executing,
integrating and transitioning advanced technologies. In essence, PLTs are
the "integrated program teams" for the TEAM S&T Program.
