[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about CNA?[/quote]

27% cut in CNA's core.

FY25 = 43,648,000
FY26 = 31,695,000

Brutal.[/quote]

They cut the wrong things at CNA. That funding line pays for the field deployed analysts (think: aboard combat ships, overseas, and in the combat zones) and also pays for Navy Quick Reaction support to Naval combat commands like PACFLT and III MEF.  Those direct warfighter support items are where CNA adds the most value. [/quote]

So, SETAs?[/quote]

None of the usual SETA firms put people in harm's way. Many of those billets are in harm's way, so no. And a random SETA would not be able to reach back to get the depth of Navy-specific knowledge that CNA has in-house - to get the answers a commander at sea or in the field can get from CNA.

More fundamentally than this… no, CNA field people just don’t do SETA-type work. [/quote]

What kind of non-SETA work does CNA do?[/quote]

It's an odd framing of the question. "This company that does A, B, and C -- what kind of non-D work do they do?"

Some FFRDCs, like Mitre and Aerospace, do systems engineering, including via SETA support. Studies and analysis FFRDCs do not. On-site support by a technically-inclined person does not in general equal SETA.[/quote]
