3 Code 30 s Mission Plan, execute, and manage an integrated portfolio of scientific research and technology development in Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare in order to provide advanced warfighting capabilities for the future Marine Corps. Agile, smart, and lethal dominant technology advantages whenever and wherever the Expeditionary Force needs it.

4 Code 30 s Naval S&T Strategy Focus Area Assure Access to Maritime Battlespace Autonomy & Unmanned Systems Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare Expeditionary & Irregular Warfare Information Dominance - Cyber Platform Design & Survivability Power & Energy Power Projection & Integrated Defense Warfighter Performance

5 Expeditionary & Irregular Warfare Focus Area STRATEGIC DRIVERS: Emergence of non-traditional threats Decreased host-nation support Complex hybrid, asymmetric, and irregular challenges across diverse, austere and distributed battlespaces OBJECTIVES: Battlespace Awareness Irregular Warfare Operations Expeditionary and Distributed Operations Irregular Threat Countermeasures

11 SAAET Program Vision SAAET is a basic research program producing knowledge and understanding so as to anticipate & affect insurgency networks, & have capabilities to detect/defeat/protectagainst explosives used by asymmetric irregular forces. 1. Detect: Through strategically directed basic research, provide future expeditionary war-fighters with abilities to sense, from safe stand-off distances, all IEDs used by asymmetric/irregular forces 2. Anticipate-Affect: Fundamental research program of theory driven work that seeks to understand and model the human-element with asymmetric explosive threats in order to anticipate and affect events to the left of boom 3. Neutralize: To swiftly and safely neutralize all IEDs proud, flush and buried at standoff distances with or without direct knowledge of the IED s location. 4. Mitigate: Protect personnel and/or materiel from detonation effects (blast, fragmentation, thermal, etc.) of explosive threats.
