  8. Threat Dictates Revised Strategy COCOMs Shaping & Stability Ops GWOT COCOMs Major Combat Ops HLS/ HLD COCOMs NORTHCOM

  9. CNO’s Vision (summary) A combat-ready Navy—forward deployed, rotational and surge capable, large-, agile- and lethal-enough to deter any threat & defeat any foe in support of the Joint Force. CNO’s Priorities • Sustain Current Readiness • Build the Fleet (ships, aircraft, submarines) of the future (while offering more stability to our shipbuilders) • Develop the Navy’s 21st century leaders

  10. “Building Upon” Sea Power 21 • SeaStrike—Projecting precise, persistent offensive power (N78-NAVAIR) • SeaShield—Projecting global defensive assurance (N76/NAVSEA) • SeaBasing—Projecting joint operational independence (N75/NAVSEA) • FORCEnet—Connecting the Force to achieve battlespace dominance (N61/SPAWAR)

  11. NLUS Priority Items • Stabilize the Navy’s procurement and modernization accounts in order to gain/sustain Congressional support for ship/aircraft/submarine construction & conversion • Advanced and split year funding for “leveling” budget spikes and yard loading • CNO/SECNAV decide on a ship count number and the strategy to get there, gain Congressional support for the funding, and execute

  12. Sea StrikeProjecting Precise & Persistent Offensive Power • 12 Carriers and associated air wings, including full funding of CVN-21 • Multi-year procurement of F/A-18E/F, E-2C/D & full development of JSF • Sustain DD(X) development, dual lead ship acquisition strategy and FY07 SCN • Sustain conversion of 4 SSBNs to SSGNs • Implement Aegis CG Mod program for SLEP and modernization • Continue DDG Mod program

  13. Sea ShieldProjecting Global Defensive Assurance • Continue development, procurement & deployment of Navy portion of Ballistic Missile Defense System (the only service which is fielding successful system to date) • Sustain the construction of LCS Flight 0 (dual track—4 ships) and their mission modules • Develop & procure MMA/P8 (P-3C replacement) & the BAMS UAV

  14. Sea BasingProjecting Joint Operational Independence • In support of 12 ESGs, complete LHD Class construction, continue LPD-17 Class construction & and fund the LHA(R) • Continue funding for CLF ships (oiler, ammo, dry cargo, LMSRs) in order to round out Maritime Preposition Force (Future) Squadrons • Fund development & procurement of surface and air “connectors” to move warfighters and sustainment from advance bases to the sea base to the shore

  15. FORCEnetConnecting the Joint Force to Achieve Battlespace Dominance • Integrate operational pictures across serce lines & among air/ground/naval forces • GCCS-M; GCCS-A • Establish globally networked Joint Force Maritime Component Commanders (JFMCCs), linking geographically dispersed units of the Sea Base from joint command level to the tactical level

  16. Shipbuilding • What’s the number? • Navy has been “counseled” by Congress to tell them what they need (vice a 55 ship range) • Taskers are out, CNO will decide on a defendable number, get Secretariat approval, print the T-shirts and testify • For 2006: • President’s budget – 4 ships (1-SSN, 1-LCS, 1-T-AKE, 1-LPD) • NLUS – advocates “more than” a 300 ship, 45 attack submarine Navy, split year funding for large capital ships, level loading the shipyards and advance procurement for long lead items which contributes to level loading

  17. Shipbuilding (continued) • CVN-21 – slipped from ’07 to ‘08 • New Electrical Generation & Distribution • Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) • New Propulsion Plant • Advanced Flight Deck Design • Advanced Arresting Gear • 500-900 Fewer Billets (ship & air wing) • Significant Reductions in Total Operating Cost • Backfit Selected Improvements to Fleet Carriers

  18. Shipbuilding -- LCS • Implement Technologies As They Mature • LCS – 10 of 22 technologies fully mature at start of System Development • First 2 ships mission modules w/existing technology • Warfighting Dominance in the Littorals • Focused Mission—achieved by reconfigurable “Mission Modules: ASW, ASUW or MW • Fast (40 – 50 knots), maneuverable, shallow draft • Heavy reliance on “off-board” and unmanned systems • Construction commenced in 2005 • IOC 2007—55 ships over 30 year SCN

  19. Take-Away • > 300+ Ship Navy • > 8 -10 ships/year new construction • Support DD(X) & LCS as next generation • Continue DDG-51 through 62 ships • Sustain LPD-17 Class through at least 9 units • 130-250 Aircraft procurement per year over FYDP • F/A-18E/F & E-2C/D Multi-year procurement • Complete JSF development • Follow-on to P-3 and EA-6B (MMA) • Protect Sealift procurement • Guard against further ‘encroachment’ of vital training sites
