"This paper provides a proposed course of action to respond to the increasing shortage of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals that are necessary to ensure the national and economic security of the United States. It specifically responds to the recommendations and proposed actions developed in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report entitled "Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future." (NAS Storm Report) This paper consists of an executive summary, a purpose statement, the context, a view of the problem, a description of NAVSEA's 21st Century engagement, education, and technology initiative, and an implementation plan. Additionally, appendix A provides linkages between the NAS Recommendations/Actions and the proposed activities discussed in this paper. Appendix B provides a model for engagement with academic institutions"--Preface.
Created in 1982 through the Small Business Innovation Development Act, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program remains the nation's single largest innovation program for small business. The SBIR program offers competitive awards to support the development and commercialization of innovative technologies by small private-sector businesses. At the same time, the program provides government agencies with technical and scientific solutions that address their different missions. SBIR at the Department of Defense considers ways that the Department of Defense SBIR program could work better in addressing the congressional objectives for the SBIR program to stimulate technological innovation, use small businesses to meet federal research and development (R & D) needs, foster and encourage the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and increase the private sector commercialization of innovations derived from federal R&D. An earlier report, An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program at the Department of Defense, studied how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. This report builds on the previous one, with a revised survey of SBIR companies. SBIR at the Department of Defense revisits some case studies from the 2009 study and develops new ones, and interviews agency managers and other stakeholders to provide a second snapshot of the program's progress toward achieving its legislative goals.
The purpose of this project is to assess the maturity of Naval Sea Systems Command's (NAVSEA) Contract Management processes. NAVSEA is headquartered in Washington, DC. The analysis of NAVSEA will be conducted using the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM). The primary purpose of this research is to analyze NAVSEA's contracting processes utilizing the Contract Management Maturity Assessment Tool (CMMAT), to identify key process area strengths and weaknesses, and to provide a road map for possible improvement if needed. This research reviews and categorizes the results of several Peer Reviews performed on NAVSEA by the six phases of the contract management process. This research also analyzes and categorizes openended responses to a question on critical success factors conducted on NAVSEA contracting personnel. The results will provide NAVSEA a snapshot of the maturity level of their contracting processes. This will allow NAVSEA to identify the unique challenges that it is facing and provide an assessment tool on how to effectively engage and overcome these challenges and potentially improve the organization's contracting process.
The Department of Defense is likely to face years of declining resources as the U.S. government grapples with fiscal challenges. These challenges affect every account, including those associated with surface ship maintenance and operations. At the same time, there has been widespread concern that surface ship materiel readiness is declining due to a high pace of operations and a sense that there have been many instances of deferred maintenance. The need to balance fiscal reality and a continued need for ready ships is likely to be an ongoing challenge. At the request of the Assessment Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, this report: (1) determines the impact on long-term fleet readiness, Operational Availability (Ao), and Expected Service Life (ESL) caused by near-term reductions in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) accounts; (2) recommends potential strategies to minimize negative impacts to Ao and ESL and maintain the largest, most capable fleet possible; (3) develops a maintenance requirement concept, per ship class, that supports ESL, but allows for some risk within the maintenance strategy; and (4) defines the risks to Ao and ESL resulting from the new requirement. The methodology could be applicable to multiple ship classes.
