Naval Power and Energy Systems: Technology Development Roadmap (The U.S. Navy Power and Energy Leap Forward)

Abstract

Ensuring maritime superiority requires a ready and capable fleet, and fundamental to fleet capability is the electric power behind the fleet. This roadmap aligns electric power and energy system development with increasing warfighter power needs, enabling the U.S. Navy to expand our maritime advantage over our adversaries. The need for a thorough and comprehensive document arises from the tremendous difficulty of the task. he goal of revolutionizing naval warfare is ambitious and should not be understated. The envisioned change demands intelligent synchronized development. Existing U.S. Navy power and energy systems represent a century of combined private and public investment. Fundamentally evolving the system requires an exceedingly careful and thorough technology development process, to which this roadmap is the guide.
