U.S. NAVY (continued)

The Technology Base, which pro- vides funding for basic research and exploratory development with the primary objective of increasing fun- damental scientific knowledge adaptable to solving needs of widely varying future requirements, in- creases by $62.6 million from FY 1990 to FY 91 Advanced Technolo- gy Development Programs have been restructured for better mana- gerial oversight, but funding re- mains relatively constant.

The primary effort in Strategic

Programs is the Trident D-5 missile development effort, which com- pletes full-scale engineering devel- opment in FY 91.

The decrease in FY 91 for Tacti- cal Programs is the sum of several changes and reflects the impact of programs transitioning to produc- tion, including P-3C Update IV,

MK-50 torpedo, Joint Advanced

Systems, and the termination of funding for V-22 development after

FY 90. The FY 91 budget continues the F-14D predeployment update (PDU) effort to expand the capabil- ity of baseline hardware to meet projected operational requirements;

SSN-21 will continue development and testing; Surface ASW System

Improvement will continue full- scale engineering development of the AN/SQQ-891; and Fixed Dis- tributed System will continue both wet and dry end development. Sea

Lance development has been termi- nated in FY 90.

Intelligence and communications programs are level funded following an increase from FY 89 to FY 90 to reflect the transition of Navstar

GPS from development to a level required to integrate the system into Naval aircraft on schedule with termination of other navigation sys- tems.
