•Tactics
|
|
•SEA-8 recommends that the USN conduct operational
planning and testing that employs strategic air assets to rapidly deploy and
expand the reach of tactical ASW operations.
The potential to stealthily insert non-traditional ASW assets deep
into enemy waterspace, near port entrances and choke points, is promising and
should be vigorously explored.
|
|
•SEA-8 recommends that gliding body shells, similar to the
Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), be developed that can be used to deliver netted
sensors and UUVs close-in to enemy shorelines and harbors. Much like the JSOW, these glide bodies
should be made low observable to allow for clandestine establishment of an
ASW system within an enemy’s waterspace.
Systems such as this would allow strategic air assets to remain at a
safe standoff range while delivering salvos of these non-traditional ASW
assets.
|
|
•Doctrine
|
|
•SEA-8 recommends that the US Navy evolve from waterspace
management and Prevention of Mutual Interference (PMI) techniques of the past
toward a more comprehensive undersea battlespace management doctrine (such as
the UJEZ) of the future. We recommend
that the Submarine and USW communities lead the way in transitioning and
overcoming the obstacles associated with the transition to the UJEZ.
