Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited

2. CNO’s Guidance Payloads Over Platforms … CNO’s Sailing Directions:
Warfighting First
Operate Forward
Be Ready
Unmanned systems in the air and water will employ greater autonomy and be fully integrated with their manned counterparts.
CNO’s Navigation Plan
Our Navy must be able to achieve access in any domain - where we need it, when we need it - and possess the capability mix of kinetic and non-kinetic weapons to prevail today and be ready to win tomorrow.
- Continue to improve the passive and active kill-chain capabilities of netted, multi-mission carrier air wing aircraft from NIMITZ and FORD Class aircraft carriers to assure sea control and strike dominance in contested sea and air spaces. … We will improve our platforms’ reach in all domains through new payloads of more capable sensors, networks, and weapons.

12. Summary Navy is on glide slope to provide:
Persistence via unmanned systems Increasingly from the sea
Capacity with more platforms and sensors
Capability with automated sensors
Flexibility with modular, scalable “plug & play” sensors
Timeliness through effective TCPED process
Connectivity through secure information sharing
Navy’s intent is to produce a family of capable, effective, and interoperable unmanned systems that integrate with manned platforms and ships to provide situational awareness and warfighting advantage to commanders at all levels
