Future Naval Capabilities Program

• The FNC program is
• Composed of Enabling Capabilities (ECs) which
  develop and deliver quantifiable products (i.e.,
  prototype systems, knowledge products, and
  technology improvements)
• In response to validated requirements
• For insertion into acquisition programs of record
  after meeting agreed upon exit criteria within
  five years.

The ECs are currently aligned with four of the
pillars of Naval Power 21, a vision for the U.S.
Navy and Marine Corps of the future (Sea Shield,
Sea Strike, Sea Base, and FORCEnet) with an
additional group for crosscutting technology
improvements (Enterprise and Platform Enablers)
for operations and maintenance cost savings.
