66 TOWARD NEW NAVAL PLATFORMS resources are providing alternatives to large-scale facilities, but they too can present technical and resource-related challenges, including a demand for complementary physical testing infrastructure. CHANGING ROLE OF EXPERIMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE The NNR-NE supports experimental research by university faculty conducted using the testing facilities of the Navy's Warfare Centers (WCs)

NAVAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE 67 scale, due in part to limitations on space. Such facilities may be funded by government grants or by the institution itself (e.g., startup funds for young investigators, capital improvement funds)

From page 68... ...
68 TOWARD NEW NAVAL PLATFORMS because of the potential for redundancy and limited access by researchers from other institutions. There is the possibility too that these smaller facilities may become underutilized, or even abandoned, as researchers leave institutions or change their research direction.

NAVAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE 69 accommodate research on vessel icebreaking capabilities as a warming climate has opened previously inaccessible waterways. The National Research Council of Canada operates an ice tank in Newfoundland that is being used for testing of icebreaker designs, including those that may be employed by the U.S.

70 TOWARD NEW NAVAL PLATFORMS ease, and validating the performance of new baselines through consistent, repeatable test conditions. However, while advances in computational capabilities promise to compress ship design, development, and test schedules, there is good reason to believe they will never fully replace experimental testing and may even create a need for more sophisticated, higher precision, and larger-scale testing facilities.

72 TOWARD NEW NAVAL PLATFORMS Informed by this recommended inventory and assessment of testing needs and capabilities, the committee recommends that ONR should use the "lead, leverage, monitor" framework to guide NNR-NE's efforts to ensure the availability and suitability of the NE R&D infrastructure (Recommendation 5-2)
