Abstract
Project Summary: This research project examined Combined, Joint and Coalition Warfare at Sea in a future Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) environment for US Fleet Forces Command (USFF). It focused on Fleet Design capabilities and capacities, including a rigorous assessment of Joint and Coalition enabler's key elements of Fleet Design. It includes USFF stretch goals, experimentation hypothesis, identified Joint Capability Area capability, select multi-domain capability and identified leap-ahead technology. The Winter NPS Joint Campaign Analysis (JCA) class' mini-study of a Western Pacific scenario conducted exploratory employment of technologies under the Fleet Design concept as identified by the USFF sponsor, and provided a gross quantitative assessment of military utility as options for the warfighter against a growing maritime power. The second phase introduced Fleet Design into the Spring OA4604 Wargaming Applications course. A faculty-advised student wargaming team designed, developed, conducted, and analyzed a wargame that leveraged the factors and parameters, measures of effectiveness and scenarios that were identified by the Joint Campaign Analysis effort. The third phase of the effort conducted a second look at Fleet Design technologies from phases 1 and 2, along with additional technologies as designated by USFF sponsor. This phase included emerging Fleet Design updates and updated Fleet Design "Stretch" goals. The fourth phase of this research will be to conduct a second Fleet Design wargame in the Fall (FY19) OA4604 Wargaming Applications course. Using feedback from the first two JCA courses and the first Fleet Design wargame in the spring, this wargame will provide a more in depth examination of emerging Fleet concepts and provide an assessment of Future Fleet Design Attributes and provide an assessment of future Navy capabilities through the lens of integration, distribution and maneuver.
