N957 - Navy Expeditionary Combat Presentation

Brief to 17th NDIA Expeditionary Warfare Conference

Closing the Gaps

Agenda

• NECC Force Overview

– Naval Construction – Explosive Ordnance Disposal – Coastal Riverine

• Acquisition Principles and Challenges
• Success Stories
• Summary

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command

• NECC forces are made up of Sailors who are rapidly

deployable, self-sustainable, adaptive to mission requirements, scalable and agile.

• NECC forces are well suited for conducting hybrid

warfare.

• NECC is an essential part of the Navy team to

deliver core capability -- whether through ships, submarines, aircraft or our expeditionary forces.

• NECC forces work in the seams between the

maritime and land component commanders.

• NECC forces rely on an “operational reserve” force

construct to complete missions.

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command All Key Enablers

Explosive Ordnance Disposal: Renders safe explosive hazards to include improvised explosive devices (IED), undersea mines, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD), often simultaneously engaging enemy forces Seabees: Support operating forces through construction of roads, bridges, bunkers, airfields and logistics bases and complete civic action projects that complement nation-building programs and worldwide humanitarian efforts. Maritime Expeditionary Security Force: Provides harbor and homeland defense, coastal surveillance and special missions. Will merge with Riverine to form new Coastal Riverine Force. Riverine: Combats enemy riverine forces with direct fires or supporting fires in maritime security operations (MSO) and security force assistance (SFA) roles. Will merge with Riverine to form new Coastal Riverine Force. Expeditionary Logistics: Provides expeditionary logistics within the maritime domain of the littorals and conducts surface and air cargo handling missions, cargo terminal and warehouse operations, fuels distribution, postal services, customs inspections, ordnance reporting and handling, and expeditionary communications Expeditionary Intelligence: Provides tactical force protection/indications and warning intelligence collection, enabling Navy commanders to conduct missions across the full spectrum of expeditionary operations. Maritime Civil Affairs and Security Training Command: Prepares regionally aligned planners, teams, specialists and trainers to be effective, flexible and responsive in support of the Navy Component and Joint Task Force Commanders’ security cooperation plans Expeditionary Combat Readiness Command: Assists IA Sailors by supervising the Continental United States (CONUS) portion of IA processing.

“The Navy Seabees are playing a critical role in the world today in both military and humanitarian missions. Whether building facilities for our troops in Afghanistan, helping residents recover from natural disasters, or building clinics and schools in underdeveloped areas, Seabees with their ‘Can Do’ work ethic are key players in the Navy’s global force for good.” Rear Admiral Mark A. Handley Commander, 1NCD

Maritime Expeditionary Security Civil War 1862

Credit: CoastalGuide.com

“Coastal Riverine is a force that is able to defend a high value asset against a determined enemy and, when

• rdered, conduct offensive combat
• perations.”

Rear Admiral Michael P. Tillotson Commander, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command

Means: Overarching Acquisition Principles

• Balance technology between current warfighter demand AND

the future threat

• Warfighter demand alone doesn’t define the effort
• OEF/OIF/OND – Must get inside the enemy’s OODA Loop
• A streamlined RDT&E process that enables acquisition of

future programs that are

• Strong
• Defendable
• Responsive
• Affordable
• Absolutely vital that the S&T process 'feed, complement, and

accelerate' our acquisition process

• Identify 'common' joint systems and leverage current and

projected acquisition POR initiatives

General Capabilities We Need

Flexible, Responsive, Modular, Ready for Use Systems

• Common architecture (C2)
• “Plug and play” compatibility for unique

requirements

• Robust “reachback” capability
• Deployable equipment
• Stock configured for immediate use
• Platform and equipment commonality
• Solutions leverage COTS/GOTS

Consistently more rapid than the enemy’s OODA-loop

• Improved sensors
• Autonomous, task-driven systems
• Detect & predict threats (UW, littorals)
• Provide persistent COP
• Joint interoperability
• Open architecture (time and cost

savings)

• Multi-mission applicability

Non-Lethal Effects

• Stand off vessel/vehicle

stopping

• Reduced size, weight, and

cost of directed energy systems

• Increased range of fielded

systems

Specific Capabilities in Development

Unmanned Programs (Air and Surface)

• Modular Unmanned Surface

Craft Littoral

• Nighthawk/Seahawk
• Advanced EOD Robotic

System

• Advanced Composite

Riverine Craft UMCM UUV Programs

• Mine detect / classify from

surf zone to high-water mark

• Organic MCM Without Cued

ISR

• Limpet Mine Removal Tool
• U/W Explosive Object

Recovery

UMCM Background

13

• Counter naval mines and other

underwater explosives threats in near shore areas that “traditional MCM” assets do not yet address.

• UMCM Environment: Historically,

those areas relegated to Navy EOD divers and combat swimmers to include:

– Pre-assault/Advance Force VSW MCM ISO Amphibious Warfare missions – Underwater Explosives Threat response in Maritime Homeland Defense and other confined area scenarios.

• UUVs are applied today, wherever

suitable/effective in these missions and are tactically integrated with Navy EOD diver and MMS until unmanned solutions can perform the full range of Detect-to-Engage tasks.

Summary

• EOD must have systems with common architecture, modular

components, standardized interfaces, and intuitive human controls

• Recent conflicts driving requirements and funding
• Coordinated, combined acquisition needed to reduce cost
• Contractor and Government business environments very

competitive

• EOD is and will continue to be a large user of robotics
