Fleet/Force Division Summary
The Fleet/Force Division
is located in Arlington, Virginiathe headquarters of
the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Fleet/Force Division provides a constant
interface among the operational, strategic planning, the concept
development Commands worldwide (this includes Joint, Navy,
and Marine Corps commands), and the Naval Research Enterprise
(the Science and Technology (S&T) community). The mission
of Fleet/Force Division is to:
- Ensure the Fleet/Force (F/F) helps shape the Department
of the Navy (DoN) investment in S&T.
- Develop teaming relationships to rapidly demonstrate and
transition technology.
- Support development of technology-based capability options
for Naval forces.
- Enable warfighting innovations based on technical and
conceptual possibilities.
To
accomplish this mission, there are three partners, or legs
that form the tri-legged stool: the Science Advisors, the
Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), and Fleet/Force Division. Each plays a
significant role in fulfilling the Fleet/Force Division mission and assisting
the Office of Naval Research. In addition to Technology Insertion,
Surge support, Regional Engagement Support, and Investment
Leverage, Fleet/Force Division recruits Science
Advisors who have proven their technical competence and
leadership skills and places them directly on the staff of
the Fleet/Force commands for a two-year developmental assignment.
The NRE plays a large part in assisting in the recruitment
of Science Advisors, responding rapidly to Fleet/Force needs,
and influencing the Department of Navys investments
in S&T. The third partner, the Science Advisors, identify
the S&T needs of the Fleet/Force and serve as the primary
interface in finding and implementing technological solutions.
