Program Support Functional Area (3.20)

The primary measure of effectiveness for the FNCs is the successful transition of technology products to Navy and Marine Corps acquisition programs.   Through Program Support functions, ONR maintains a close relationship with the research and development community to support long-range research, fosters future discovery of technologies, and nurtures next generations of researchers for the future Navy and Marine Corps. Each FNC is directed by an Integrated Product Team (IPT) that comprises consensus-based bodies derived from affected stakeholders with representatives from the requirements, acquisition, resource sponsor, S&T and most importantly, the operating forces. 

Michael Hoglund is proposed as the “key” personnel in the Program Support functional area in Zone 2.  Mr. Hoglund currently supports the planning and execution of a counterdrug technology transfer program for the U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca.  In the course of this work, Michael supports the preparation of requirements for Sources Sought solicitations to identify commercial off the shelf solutions and Broad Agency Announcements to solicit innovative solutions from industry to improve drug-related enforcement (tactical) capabilities and technologies to improve drug addiction treatment and prevention programs.  He develops various web-based tools to collect requirements data, to manage the application and delivery status for equipment to transfer recipients, and to report program accomplishments.

Mr. Hoglund is thoroughly familiar and proficient in the use of commercial software packages, such as Microsoft Word, Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, and associated software suites and hardware components.  Michael is extremely capable in multimedia preparation, creating supporting posters, banners, and other presentations/materials for current activities and R&D projects.  He has created interactive presentations based on digitized video feeds for distribution on deliverable formats, as well as producing websites for federal program offices.

Mr. Hoglund provides support in the preparation of annual reports, program briefings, technology demonstrations, and exhibit booths to law enforcement organizations, industry, Government laboratories, and Congress.  He also maintains several web-based data collection tools for evaluating R&D program performance and outcome.

From 2000 to 2005, Michael has provided technical, programmatic, and engineering support to Office of Naval Research, Code 32.  At Panama City, FL, he supported tactical operations involving GPS-based monitoring equipment and general computer networking systems for command and control during ONR 32CM countermine technology demonstrations.  He also supported the exercise planning and execution for a variety of ONR 32CM advanced concept technology demonstrations at Camp Lejeune.

During this period, Michael also supported an ONR 32SS program to evaluate the use of parametric sonar for ASW, mine warfare, environmental measurements and acoustic communications.  Under this effort, KENTCO had a CRADA with NSWC Panama City and a “Work for Private Parties” agreement with NUWC New London for test range, logistics and a panel of scientific experts.

Bruce Reed is proposed as the “key” personnel in the Program Support functional area in Zone 3.  He currently provides support to Office of Naval Research (ONR Code 30) as the Applications Division Operations Assistant.  He serves as the primary assistant to the Director of Applications in the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism S&T Department (Code 302).  His efforts are focused on the coordination of all current and future application projects and programs.  Specifically, he assists with the management of the Department’s core Exploitation and Development programs, the Navy’s Future Naval Capability Programs, and Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration Programs.

Mr. Reed employs business and financial management disciplines in the preparation of budget plans and submissions for program elements within the division, preparation of high level Congressional briefings, and developing alternatives when rescissions are implemented after the budget has been passed.  Engineering and technical disciplines are employed during the preparation for and conduct of internal and external program reviews, technology demonstrations and system acquisitions.

Previously, Mr. Reed served as the Site Coordinator at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for ONR’s Organic Mine Countermeasures Future Naval Capability Program Office. He has supported ONR in demonstrating and evaluating novel mine reconnaissance, airborne and underwater, and breaching/clearing systems under operational situations. He provided technical and engineering support as well as exercise/ demonstration planning and execution support for numerous military exercises: JCM ACTD Demonstration I, conducted in North Carolina, Demonstration II in Newfoundland, Kernel Blitz 99 and 01 in California, a GOMEX in Corpus Christi, TX, a Combined/Joint exercise CJTFEX 04-2, a NATO exercise Blue Game 04, and two NWDC sponsored exercises conducted in Panama City, FL and one in San Diego, CA.

He also planned for and coordinated all aspects of ONR’s site support requirements during Fleet Battle Experiments Hotel, India and Juliet and a PMS-EOD sponsored SMCM/UUV demonstration. This support included the coordination of detailed operational and logistic support requirements for more than 40 Novel Systems and various Integrated Processing Teams, all of which were represented by numerous laboratories, universities and independent contractors.  He also coordinated ONR’s requirement for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that included the preparation of 10 Environmental Assessments and several decision papers for overseas underwater vehicle demonstrations.
