Conclusions
•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.
