Environmental Needs
All LMR program decisions and investments are based on environmental needs. An
environmental need meets the following conditions:
·
Identifies an existing gap in knowledge, technology, and/or capability,
·
Is associated with an environmental constraint or regulatory driver, and
·
The requirement can be categorized under one of the program's investment areas.
See our Need Submission and Evaluation Guide for additional information.
How to Submit A Need
Anyone within the Navy may submit their needs for consideration by
the LMR program. All needs must be submitted through the LMR website via the
Need Submission Form.
A Microsoft Word template is available to facilitate
offline preparation of needs prior to website submission. When using the template, please consider that special characters and
formatting in Word, such as tables and bullets, will be lost when cut, pasted, and submitted to the website. You will not be able
to edit a need once you submit it. If you want to make a change to your submittal, or if you require further assistance, please
Contact Us.
Submission Schedule To have your need considered in the FY 2017 review cycle, it must be submitted by 01 Jun 2016. Needs submitted after this date will be considering in the FY 2018 funding cycle.
After the deadline to submit needs for each funding cycle has passed, the LMR Advisory Committee (LMRAC) will review and
evaluate all the submitted needs. Please refer to the Need Submission and Evaluation Guide for additional details regarding the evaluation
process and what to expect after you submit a need.
