•Using Systems Engineering principles and processes we
created and analyzed a number of competing alternative ASW force
architectures. We modeled and analyzed
these alternatives and along the way we gained insight into the engineering
challenge. The results of that
analysis, which will be qualified and quantified during this brief, led us to
these conclusions: |
|
1)There is no perfect littoral ASW system – the best
solution was often a combination of system architectures that could be
tailored to suit the specifics of the scenario in question. |
|
2) Reaction time
is the key driver to seizing the initiative |
|
3) Persistent
systems are required in order to sustain ASW denial |
|
4) Kill-Chain
Timeline (KCT) tradeoffs exist between traditional and non-traditional ASW
methods |
|
5) In order to
realize the power of future complementary ASW systems a new paradigm of
coordination may be necessary, one that borrows from the lessons learned by
the air community, the use of Joint Engagement Zones. During this brief we will call it the
Undersea Joint Engagement Zone (UJEZ) |
