Maritime Dominance Preserves America as a premiere maritime nation Ensures freedom of navigation for trade in a global economy Provides unimpeded access to littorals of strategic interest in a climate of reduced support for forward land-based forces Enables the NCA to influence international events without commitment of land-based forces or host nation support It is the precondition required for conducting land attack and theater air dominance operations

SURFACE WARFARE MISSIONS Maritime Dominance Theater Air Dominance Assured Access and Support for Maneuver Warfare Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)

SURFACE WARFARE MISSIONS Strike Warfare Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) Amphibious Warfare Logistical Support

Theater Air Dominance Allows joint and combined forces freedom of action in the littoral by denying enemy exploitation of the air battlespace Enables land-force entry and maneuver ashore First force to arrive on scene under the cover of Fleet Air Defenses and establish a presence ashore

TAD and TBMD

Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) Control of the Air is required for successful operations Layered Defense: Combat Air Patrol (CAP)- Fighters and AWACS Surface to Air Missiles (Standard) Short Range Missiles, 5in/54, 76 mm, and Phalanx CIWS

AAW Weaponry Standard Missiles Mk-15 CIWS MK 45 5”/54 MK 45 5”/62 RAM
