Key takeaways: Future Amphibious Forces online conference
Reflections on the Future Amphibious Forces conference that astutely picked out 3 contemporary challenges that are both proximate and which also bridge to the operating environment of the future.
These ideas will contribute to agenda development for the 2021 event to be held in London:
- The whole force and multi domain approach necessary to deliver strategic, maritime and littoral effect.
- The question of depth and stand off necessary to reach into denied and congested littoral battle space. And the risk mitigation necessary.
- The necessity to develop & integrate the inside force and the stand off force -as both a constituent of a regulated approach to deterrence and persistent engagement & advantage.
- The fundamentals of recognised picture, ISR and networked precision strike - that bestow fleeting opportunity for aggregating main force action and application.
- The critical demand to reduce spectrum signature, disperse HQs and increase tempo of decision and action - for aggregate and congruent effect.
- The challenge of generating multiple operational dilemmas for the adversary and the capacity to handle their consequence reciprocally.
- The difficulties of variable geometry C2 - necessary to manage vertical and horizontal integration and escalation - below and above threshold.
- The requirement for a wholesale review of partner and combined operations and the force development and policy implications.
- The development of man machine teaming and autonomous system operation to enhance simultaneity and resilience.
- A recalibration of the approach to command (and control) and the realignment of structures, systems and process to deliver this.
- The optimisation of SOF for conventional shaping, information and decisive operations and the strategic resource and stamina to do so.
- The orchestration of campaign effects that deliver decisive maritime effect in a multi domain setting. And the synchronisation tools necessary.
