Sea Basing

Abstract

The Department of Defense conceives the Sea Base as a secure, sovereign location that could support and defend the operations of an expeditionary force ashore. If Naval Forces are to establish and operate from a Sea Base, they will need a mix of best commercial practices, intelligently employed legacy vehicles, and new purpose-built systems. This Panel recommends: end-to-end material transport is a Sea Base core, critical function; high-speed surface connectors are a critical Sea Basing enabler; the MPF(F) will be the centerpiece of any Sea Base; and, the Navy should implement a fully operational and affordable interim Sea Basing capability and demonstrator platform.
