Summary There will be two major SEA projects in FY14. The first, Future Cost Effective Surface Combatants for Scalable Missions, will design a fleet system of systems and concept of operations for cost effective small surface combatants in a range of missions to augment naval operations or conduct specified tasking in the 2025-2030 timeframe and beyond. It will consider requirements for these ships to execute naval missions across the kill chain spectrum, and also consider new ship requirements, flotilla size, operating areas, bandwidth and connectivity, logistics, and basing support in forward areas or from CONUS bases.
The second study, Employing Naval Air in the 21st Century, will design a fleet system of systems and concept of operations to employ naval air assets in a range of missions to augment naval operations or conduct specified tasking in the 2025-2030 timeframe and beyond. It will consider manned and unmanned air systems to execute direct support to the naval missions across the kill chain spectrum within a distributed air wing concept.
