Surface Warfare, Concept to Reality November/December 1997.
Abstract
In this issue we take a detailed look at concepts being examined by our warfighters, laboratories and industry to bring to today's waterfront prototypes of systems and combat capabilities the Surface Navy will require tomorrow. From an overview of Network-Centric Warfare to a detailed look at modeling and simulation, we examine the broad spectrum of effort and intellectual capital being invested in the future of the Navy and Marine Corps. Given the rapid technological changes in the offing for our Navy in the first decade of the new century, the fidelity of our models and the veracity of our simulations will become all the more important, particularly given our expectations of a flat-line fiscal climate. To reduce risks attendant in introducing such dramatically increased capabilities and technologies, our Fleet Battle Experiment process is providing an important function, serving as the essential link between laboratories, industry, military skunk works - the "conceptualists" - and those who go down to the sea in ships. The real success of Fleet Battle Experiments Alpha and Bravo indicates we are off to a good start, and I anticipate we will continue to improve the process with each successive experiment.
