U.S. Navy and Marines
The USN and USMC combine to project sustainable power and deter aggression throughout the world. Maintaining this dominant posture requires the careful management of a complex system that delivers the capabilities needed for sailors and marines to operate in an increasingly complex and contested maritime domain. For decades, Technomics has supported the USN and USMC in generating the analyses that reduces complex problems to the core driving elements, enabling better decisions from the field activity level to the Secretarial and the Commandant levels. From radars, electronic warfare systems and weapons, to ships, aircraft, and ground systems, personnel and infrastructure, Technomics applies depth of experience and expertise to identify technically effective solutions that meet cost and schedule constraints.

Achieving Effective Enterprise-Wide Resource Decisions
The Navy and Marines manage a complex portfolio of materiel and non-materiel systems and capabilities in order to achieve mission objectives. Effective management requires analysis and evaluation of the entire program to identify areas of risk and support evidence-based decisions. This challenge is made more complex as threats evolve, requiring the assessment of resourcing alternatives to modify existing solutions or develop and deploy new solutions.
Allocate resources smartly
Technomics’ analytical support at the highest levels of the Navy and Marines enables smart decisions throughout the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. The analyses our analysts deliver include affordability analyses of non-materiel solutions addressing Doctrine, Organization, Training, materiel, Leadership and education, Personnel, Facilities – Policy (DOTmLPF-P), analytical assessments of divestment initiatives, analyses of force design funding alternatives, and models used to simulate budget changes in support of the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) cycle.
Driving Successful Acquisition Outcomes
Executing Navy and Marine Corps strategic guidance requires successfully navigating the Defense Acquisition System, as outlined by the Major Capability Acquisition Model and the Adaptive Acquisition Framework. The elements of the acquisition system require data driven analysis and active risk management to acquire the products and services needed on time and at fair and reasonable prices.
Reliable life cycle cost estimates are critical for program success
Technomics provides analytical support to Navy and Marine Corps Program Executive Offices, Program Offices, and Field Activities that enables informed decisions and better acquisition outcomes. Technomics has earned a strong reputation for providing reliable life cycle cost and schedule estimates on Navy and Marine Corps programs. From performance-based cost modeling in support of pre-Milestone A, to parametric cost modeling in support of Milestone B, to proposal evaluation and negotiation support, Navy and Marine Corps clients are assured that the analyses generated by Technomics are comprehensive, well-documented, accurate, credible, and highly defendable.
Integrated cost and system engineering drives successful acquisition
In addition to reliable cost and schedule estimates and analyses, Navy and Marine Corps clients benefit from Technomics’ leadership in Systems Engineering and Program Management. Our engineers serve as the Navy’s lead Systems Engineers on complex, highly integrated systems, leading planning processes that define, decompose, and prioritize requirements. Our engineers also generate the program’s Acquisition Strategy, and apply optimization tools to analyze fielding plan scenarios and work closely with our cost engineering teams in assessing performance. Our unique ability to provide highly integrated cost and systems engineering teams helps our clients achieve better acquisition outcomes.
Protecting the Navy and Marines with Cyber Security
Highly integrated Navy and Marine C4ISR systems have necessistated the need for security throughout all Navy and Marine Corps network and information technology assets. Technomics’ cyber security engineers engage in activities aimed at delivering and maintaining cyber secure systems. Our engineers apply unique processes and tools that enable faster, more complete, and more accurate review of Risk Management Framework (RMF) packages, leading to faster Authority to Operate (ATO) approvals. Additionally, our engineers provide Lead Technical Engineer and Assessor services, designing security architecture and implementing and integrating security tools and policies into Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. In this capacity, Technomics led the Navy’s first ever CfCD (Criteria for Continuous Delivery) for Infrastructure as Code CI/CD pipeline, enabling rapid approval of software deliveries.
Electro-Magnetic Spectrum
To efficiently conduct their wide range of operations and maintain control of the battlespace, the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) must have the ability to collect, process, and transmit information using the electromagnetic environment through a wide range of spectrum frequencies. World-wide demand for spectrum access domestically and abroad has increased tremendously. As Commercial Wireless Industries look for ways to expand their footprints, they have started to turn their attention towards at DoD Spectrum bands that support vital Lines of Effort, by procuring spectrum bands through a competitive auction process.
Using Data and Analysis to Maintain Spectrum Capability
In accordance with Title 47, to compensate for moving out of the spectrum while ensuring the Navy and Marine Corps maintains comparable capabilities, Technomics advocates, oversees and coordinates transition plan (TP) requirements for the Department of the Navy (DON). Our engineers engage in data collection and analysis to generate the Spectrum Reallocation and Pipeline studies and research needed to determine changes necessary to support future EMS operations throughout the Navy and Marine Corps; support the migration or modification of weapon systems, Automated Information Systems (AIS), and other acquisition programs associated with current or future auctioned/shared bands; and to support more efficient spectrum operations across the electromagnetic spectrum.
