Foreword to the Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Theme
Abstract
We are honored to introduce the Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) themed compendium for the Journal of Underwater Acoustics (JUA). Together we represent the core enterprise team that guides the Navy s Air ASW community. This enterprise team, or Triad, consists of the Resource Sponsor (OPNAV N98), the Warfighter (CPRG), and the Provider (PEO(A)). We have laid the foundation for all the key stakeholders that enable the vast continuum of Air ASW capabilities. This triad arrangement serves us well strategically across a variety of mission areas, and when we are focusing on ASW, we have the unique identifier of Air ASW Board (AAB). The AAB is supported by an Air ASW Community of Interest (COI) which provides working level alignment across all Air ASW efforts. Certainly, as the future will likely include new ASW challenges, our enterprise team will morph as necessary to ensure alignment not only across the air community, but also with the broader Naval ASW community. Regarding our fit into the broader community, the AAB informs the ASW Flag Oversight Board and provides the aviation perspective to the Undersea Domain Lead, Commander Submarine Forces. The aviation community s ASW strengths speed, search rate, standoff, and lethality will continue to be of high importance to the Navy s overall ASW capability. In order to address the evolving threat, we must continue to revitalize our ASW warfighting skills, capitalize on the potential of our new platforms, and invest efficiently in technology.
