Alternative Fleet Architecture Design

Abstract

The analysis presented in the body of this report shows that the future naval fleeet platform architecture need not be desigqied to optimize its perfoemance against asymmetflc challenges at the expense of its ability to confront a potential adversary capable of traditional high intensity conflict. Indeed, designing a fleet architecture composed of large numbers of manned and unmanned systems, networked together, provides coherence between building the force and operating the force against both challenges. Such a fleet would be able to bring force to bear more rapidly and withstand enemy attack more effectively than the fleet architecture currently programmed by the Navy.
