U.S. Navy Releases Video to Illustrate the Surface Force Distributed Lethality Concept
 
The U.S. Navy Commander Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMNAVSURFPAC) just released a video to illustrate the Distributed Lethality Concept. The distributed lethality concept was introduced (and is being advocated) by Vice Admiral Thomas Rowden, the Commander of the U.S. Navy's surface forces. It can be summarized by fitting more weapons on more vessels in order to "deceive the enemy, target the enemy, and destroy the enemy".

At the recent Surface Navy Association's (SNA) National Symposium, Navy Recognition saw many examples and interpretation of this concept by the naval defense industry.

Kongsberg of Norway was showing Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) fitted aboard San Antonio class LPD (as seen in the CGI above).

Advanced Acoustic Concepts (AAC, a joint DRS/Thales company) was showing a video of DDG 51 Flight III fitted with a CAPTAS-4 Variable Depth Sonar (VDS).

Forward. Ready. Visible. Control of the Seas & Power Projection. Naval Surface Forces are returning to the offensive! Potential adversaries are increasing the range and lethality of their weapons, applying surveillance and reconnaissance across greater distances.all to deny the US and its allies access to the maritime domain, and the ability to project power from it. As a maritime nation free use of the seas underpins the core of a U.S. economy that transports 90% of its goods across water, and it underpins a global system of trade that works to the advantage of all nations.
