Approach• Defense Planning & Transformation Guidance• Joint Vision & Warfighting Concepts• Navy Vision: Sea Power 21• Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Special Operations and COCOM’s

Visions, Concepts & Capabilities• Assessments of Navy Mission Effectiveness• Advancing Technology

Context

• Naval, Joint and National• Core Challenges Facing the Navy: Today and in the Future• Adversary Strategic & Tactical Weaknesses• Potential Asymmetric Advantages Over the Adversary

Challenges, Opportunities & Fleet Priorities

• Solving the Core Challenges• Creating and Exploiting Adversary Weaknesses• Synergistic with Joint/ Marine Corps / Other Service / COCOM

Concepts, Capabilities and Challenges

Strategy-Driven Concepts

• Test and Refine the Concepts• Designed to Answer Key Unknowns Regarding Mission Effectiveness,

Implementation Alternatives, and Composing & Operating the Transformed Fleet• Spiral Development and Evaluation Process• Allow Evaluation and Guidance by Fleet Commanders and Sailors• Establish Key Performance Thresholds and Material Development Needs• Establish Revised Mission CONOPs• Provide “Fast Track” Prototypes and Key Niche Forces to the Fleet

Concept-Driven Experiments

“Ready”

“Aim”

“Fire”

Prioritizes and implements DOTLP improvements

Develop Doctrine TT&P, and CONOPS

Prioritizes, budgets, and develops material improvements

Naval Operating ConceptINTRODUCTION

•The NOC describes how integrated Naval forces will operate to provide Joint Force Commanders with decisive power projection capabilities.

•Offensive, Defensive, Informational, and Assured Access

•Maintain warfighting advantage by aggressively exploiting concepts that harness the power of information, technology, and innovative organizational structures.

•In a culture where creativity and initiative are nurtured and rewarded, people will remain our greatest asset.
