1. Navy Warfare Development Command: Delivering Capability for Today & Tomorrow Rear Admiral Wendi Carpenter, USN Commander, Navy Warfare Development Command 10 March 2010 7th Annual Security Summit San Diego, CA

2. The Imperatives Demographics 2.2 Billion people live within 100 km of coast Geography Over 70% of the earth’s surface is water Access issues and maneuver space – international waters Vital Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs) Straights of Hormuz, Malacca, Suez Canal, etc… Global economy / commerce Intertwined economies World's fleets carry around 90% of global exports - $8.9 trillion (2004) 10,000 oil tankers ship 60% of the world’s petroleum Navies Over 30 nations have navies with “global reach” 160 nations have some navy, coast guard, maritime police capability Over 6300 warships worldwide 2

3. Security in the Maritime Environment A key for global stability, especially uninterrupted economic stability, commerce Dependence on the maritime environment increasing Sustain global economy Significant increase in areas of strategic focus Evolving / irregular security environment that demands increased Maritime Domain Awareness Requires capable Navies with forward presence for deterrence and security operations Security requires building partnerships: the best joint, coalition, interagency, as well as commercial integration Information sharing Governance Awareness and understanding of core missions and capability Game Changing Innovations

4. The Global Economy by Sea Trading & Resource SLOC Key Point of Interest Game Changing Innovations

5. The Challenge of Scope and Scale

6. Our Strategic Environment: The “New Normal” Globalization Interdependence of global economies Security and prosperity are interlinked Trans-national threats increased and unchecked in some areas Increasingly irregular and uncertain operating environment Potential threats to our mutual interests Use of the seas for illicit activities Trafficking Piracy HADR missions (Haiti, Tsunami relief, Pakistan earthquake) May not have the luxury of time – “Come as you are” Requires Maritime Domain Awareness To include across ‘areas of responsibility” for military commanders Capability and capacity must be maintained in spite of fiscal realities and constraints Emerging technologies offer new and innovative solutions for capability or capacity shortfalls Importance of “concepts” in how to view the strategic landscape and address the challenges and opportunities 6

7. Core Capabilities Navy Warfare Development Command Concept Generation/ Development Proactively works future Navy resource and operational requirements Doctrine Development Develops enduring products and principles and provides input into Joint, multi-service, and Coalition Doctrine CONOPS Development Describes how a particular concept may be employed to achieve desired objectives Analysis Performs in-depth analysis of large scale exercises and experiments Lessons Learned Collaborates with the Fleet and other services to provide observations and best practices Modeling & Simulation Provides a cost efficient way to train Naval forces through Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) Wargaming/Experimentation/Sea Trial Develops campaign plans and coordinates resources to enhance the Fleet’s warfare capabilities

8. NWDC’s Role in Navy Concepts • Navy Warfare Development Command: CNO Executive Agent • Collaborative with key organizations internal to Navy (Strategic Studies Group and Navy War College, as well as Fleets • Collaborative with external partners • Focus near, mid and far term concepts • Spectrum of solutions, not just technology • Lynchpin for integration / holistic approach • Culture of Innovation/ New Ideas • Art of the Possible • Thinking outside the box • Shifting paradigms Game Changing Innovations

9. A Balanced Approach SEC GATES: “…what programs are necessary to deter aggression, project power when necessary, and protect our interests and allies around the globe.” 06 APR 2009 • Technology and material solutions are relevant to today’s challenges and the future; BUT just one aspect of delivering power and capability • Concept generation and development provides capability through full spectrum across DOTMLPF • Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Logistics, Personnel, Facilities • Development of doctrine for linking with other services and nations, key to maximizing our collective capability Credible shields are created by forging partnerships and mutual understanding - doctrine and technology represent the practical manifestation of that effort

10. Takeaways Dependence on the maritime environment is growing; requires increased cooperation Security and prosperity linked Sustain global economy and protect SLOCs Sealift for military support and HADR efforts It’s all about the best joint & coalition integration Evolving security environment demands extensive Maritime Domain Awareness and processes / procedures to maintain advantage

12. Game Changing Innovations

13. Applicable Dead Man Quote “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. This coolness arises partly from the fear of opponents, who have the laws on their side and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in the new things until they have long experienced them.” - Machiavelli Game Changing Innovations
