... , reconfigurable rotor blade, and flight controls and dynamics were of high technical quality, appeared to be led by very competent personnel, had the potential for a major positive impact on future Navy and Marine Corps needs, and were adequately balanced and funded. The committee recommends that these excellent projects be continued and that sufficient funding, acknowledgment, and ongoing support be provided to ensure their successful transition into major programs.

... The committee believes that many of these topics are relevant to the FNC thrusts that will begin in FY02. The topics, which span the range from basic research to advanced technologies, are offered as suggestions but are not endorsed by the committee to the exclusion of other programs; they are summarized in Table ES.2.
