Defending the Aircraft Carrier: Doctrine and Technology for Survival

Abstract

If the Navy intends that the aircraft carrier battle group should play a decisive vice ancillary role in future joint operations, steps must be taken to make the Navy's power projection more credible, while at the same time making it more survivable. Employing technology to increase information-derived power and ship survivability will give the aircraft carrier greater freedom of action in the littorals. Using sister service capabilities to synergistically improve the air wing's strike nucleus effectiveness will enhance the enormous potential striking power of the aircraft carrier.
