Naval Surface Fire Support: An Assessment of Requirements

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop recommended changes to existing naval surface fire support (NSFS) requirements in light of Chief of Naval Operations and Commandant of the Marine Corps warfighting concepts published since the last NSFS requirements update in 2005, such as Littoral Operations in Contested Environments (LOCE), Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). This study addresses both the need established for support of forces ashore and the requirements implied for the surface ships that will deliver these effects. This research could form the basis for requirements documents and a capabilities-based assessment, as well as long-term investment.
