INTRODUCTION: THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE CONCEPT OF THE FLEET BATLE EXPERIMENT ECHO AND IT RELATIONSHIP TO KERNAL BLITZ 99 (KB99), URBAN WARRIOR (UW) AND EXTENDING THE LITTORAL BATTLESPACE ACTD (ELB ACTD). FLEET BATTLE EXPERIMENT (FBE) SERIES IS A CNO INITIATIVE TO EVALUATE FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES AND CONCEPTS THROUGH OPERATIONAL EXPERIMENTATION IN THE FLEET FOR EARLY WARFIGHTER FEEDBACK, RAPID PROTOTYPING AND DETAILED CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT IN SUPPORT OF JOINT VISION 2010. THE MARITIME BATTLE CENTER, UNDER THE NAVAL WARFARE DEVELOPMENT COMMAND AND THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE, IS THE CNO'S AGENT FOR CONCEPTS BASED EXPERIMENTATION AND WILL ACT IN SUPPORT OF COMTHIRDFLT FOR PLANNING, COORDINATION AND EXECUTION OF FBE E. 2. FBE HISTORY: THE FBE PROCESS BEGAN WITH FBE ALFA CONDUCTED IN MARCH 1997 BY COMTHIRDFLT IN CONJUNCTION WITH MARINE CORPS WARFIGHTING LAB HUNTER WARRIOR EXPERIMENT. FBE ALFA FOCUS WAS (1) SEA BASED C2 IN SUPPORT OF SPECIAL MAGTF AFLOAT (2) RING OF FIRE (ROF) NETWORK CENTRIC LAND ATTACK CONCEPT AND, (3) NAVY AREA TAMD CONCEPT. A. THE SECOND EXPERIMENT, FBE BRAVO, WAS CONDUCTED IN SEP 97 BY COMTHIRDFLT AND BUILT ON THE CONCEPTS AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM FBE ALFA, SPECIFICALLY (1) REFINEMENT OF THE RING OF FIRE CONCEPT AND, (2) C4ISR ARCHITECTURE AND TTP IN SUPPORT OF THE TARGETING PROCESS FOR GPS GUIDED MUNITIONS. B. FBE CHARLIE WAS CONDUCTED IN MAY 1998 BY COMSECONDFLT AND EXPERIMENTED WITH (1) JTAMD TTP ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE INTEGRATED AIR PICTURE (SIAP) AND AADC CONCEPT AND, (2) TTP FOR JOINT FIRES CELL USING THE RING OF FIRE CONCEPT. C. FBE DELTA WILL BE CONDUCTED 24 OCTOBER - 02 NOVEMBER 1998 BY COMSEVENTHFLT IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOAL EAGLE 98. OVERARCHING THEME FOR FBE D IS NET CENTRIC WARFARE APPLICATIONS IN A JOINT AND COMBINED ENVIRONMENT FOR KOREAN THEATER SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL / STRATEGIC WARFIGHTING ISSUES. FBE D PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS WILL BE: (A) PRECISION ENGAGEMENT. RING OF FIRE NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE APPLICATIONS TO 5027 WARFIGHTING REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND ATTACK, COUNTER SOF (CSOF) AND COUNTERFIRE (CF). (B) FULL DIMENSION PROTECTION. JOINT THEATER AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE (JTAMD) WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON ACTIVE DEFENSE SIMULATING NAVY AREA CAPABILITY (SM2 BLK IVA), ATTACK OPERATIONS SUPPORTED BY SENSOR TO SHOOTER TECHNOLOGIES AND RING OF FIRE CONCEPT AND, DISTRIBUTED COLLABORATIVE PLANNING USING COMPASS. FBE D IS A CRITICAL ENABLER TO FBE ECHO. 3. FLEET BATTLE EXPERIMENT ECHO (FBE E): FBE E UNDER COMTHIRDFLT FLEET OPERATIONAL SPONSORSHIP, IS SCHEDULED TO BE CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE C3F/I MEF EXERCISE KERNAL BLITZ 99, THE MARINE CORPS WARFIGHTING LAB'S (MCWL) ADVANCED WARFIGHTING EXPERIMENT (AWE) URBAN WARRIOR (UW), AND THE OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH SPONSORED EXTENDED LITTORAL BATTLESPACE (ELB) ADVANCED CONCEPT TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION (ACTD). IAW REFERENCES (A)AND (B) KERNAL BLITZ HAS DEVELOPED AS THE UMBRELLA EXERCISE FOR FBE E, UW AND ELB. IT WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THREE MAJOR PHASES TIED TOGETHER BY A SINGLE SCENARIO: A. PHASE ONE - STABILITY OPERATIONS. 10-25 MARCH 99 IN THE NORCAL OPAREA B. PHASE TWO - ADVANCED FORCE OPERATIONS. 12-16 APRIL IN SOCAL OPAREA C. PHASE THREE - AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT OPERATIONS 19-30 APRIL IN SOCAL OPAREA. (THIS MESSAGE WILL FOCUS ONLY ON THE PORTIONS OF KB 99 PERTAINING TO FBE E.) 4. CONCEPT OF EXPERIMENT. THE OVERARCHING CONCEPT OF FBE ECHO IS TO EXPERIMENT WITH PROCESSES TO MAKE US A MORE EFFECTIVE FIGHTING FORCE IN THE LITTORAL. THE PROPOSED HYPOTHESIS IS: "NEW PROCESSES SUPPORTED BY TECHNOLOGY ALLOW THE NAVY TO ENTER AND REMAIN IN THE LITTORALS INDEFINITELY WITH THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE LOGISTICS, FIRES AND C2 SUPPORT TO FORCES ASHORE." THE EXPERIMENT WILL BE DESIGNED TO EMPLOY NEW/EMERGING OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO COUNTER THE SERIOUS POTENTIAL THREATS WHICH WILL BE FACED WHEN OPERATING IN THE LITTORALS. DURING PHASE I FBE E WILL BE CLOSELY COORDINATED WITH, AND SUPPORT, THE MCWL AWE URBAN WARRIOR. PRIMARY FBE E FOCUS AREAS ARE: A. DOMINANT MANEUVER. THREAT-BASED DOMINANT MANEUVER EXPERIMENTS WILL BE IN ASYMMETRICAL MARITIME AND TRADITIONAL MARITIME ENVIRONMENTS. (1) ASYMMETRICAL MARITIME DOMINANCE EXPERIMENTS WILL EXAMINE OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE IN THE LITTORAL WHEN THERE IS A NON-TRADITIONAL (I.E. NOT A NATIONAL MILITARY) THREAT. THE ABILITY OF THE NAVY TO BRING MARINES INTO AN ENCLOSED URBAN LITTORAL ENVIRONMENT AND STAY ON STATION TO PROVIDE C2 SUPPORT, SEA BASED LOGISTIC SUPPORT, AND FORCE PROTECTION IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE CONCEPT OF "FORWARD...FROM THE SEA". THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES IN ASYMMETRIC THREAT EXPERIMENTATION WILL BE: - MINE WARFARE. COUNTER MINING BY CLANDESTINE GROUPS. JCM ACTD WILL INCORPORATE NEW ORGANIC AND NON-ORGANIC SENSORS TO COUNTER THE DISRUPTION OF A COMMERCIAL PORT BY MINE EQUIPPED TERRORISTS. CONTRL OF MCM EFFORT FROM THE ECOC. - PROVISION OF IMPROVED TARGETING AND SENSOR GRIDS TO MOBILE INSHORE UNDERSEA WARFARE UNIT (MIUWU) CONTROLLING INSHORE BOAT UNITS (IBU) TO PROTECT FORCES FROM UNKNOWN AND UNPREDICTABLE ENEMIES. - LITTORAL DEFENSE MONITORING WITH MIUWU WITH LITTORAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (LSS). - DETECTION/TRACKING/CLASSIFICATION OF THREAT TRACKS (2) MARITIME DOMINANCE IS BASED ON OUR ABILITY TO ESTABLISH THE TRADITIONAL CONCEPT OF AIR, SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE SUPERIORITY IN THE BATTLE SPACE WHERE WE ARE OPERATING. EXPERIMENTATION IN MARITIME DOMINANCE WILL FOCUS ON IMPROVEMENTS IN UNDERSEA WARFARE (USW): - COMMAND AND CONTROL. DEVELOPMENT OF A SINGLE INTEGRATED PICTURE OF THE UNDERSEA BATTLE SPACE WHICH ENABLES IMPROVED SEARCH PLANNING AND MORE RAPID USW OPERATIONS BY A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF AVAILABLE SENSORS TO COVER THE AREA OF INTEREST. - ADVANCED SENSORS. USE OF A VARIETY OF UNMANNED, FIXED/MOBILE, ACOUSTIC/NON-ACOUSTIC SENSORS IN A SENSOR GRID. - JOINT COUNTERMINE ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION B. PRECISION ENGAGEMENT. RING OF FIRE (ROF) NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE APPLICATIONS IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CONDUCTING INTERDICTION, STRIKE AND COUNTERFIRE (CF). SPECIFIC FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE SENSOR GRID AND ABILITY TO QUICKLY DEVELOP TARGETING DATA SUFFICIENTLY ACCURATE TO SUPPORT EMERGING PRECISION WEAPONS. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES IN PRECISION ENGAGEMENT EXPERIMENTATION WILL BE: - APPLICATION OF ROF IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT - USE OF UAVS AND OTHER UNMANNED SENSORS - INCREASED USE OF CAS - PRODUCTION AND DISSEMINATION OF QUICK REACTION, ON-LINE ELECTRONIC TARGET FOLDERS - TLAM OPERATIONAL TEST LAUNCH (OTL). DIGITAL TASKING BY ROF AND LAND ATTACK WARFARE SYSTEM (LAWS). AIMPOINT GENERATION USING THE PRECISION TARGETING WORKSTATION. (STILL TO BE COORDINATED WITH PEO(CU)) - MORE ROBUST WEAPON-TARGET PAIRING ALGORITHMS - CONTINUED EXPERIMENTATION WITH LAWS, PARTICULARLY EXPANSION TO DYNAMIC 4D (LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, ALTITUDE AND TIME) DECONFLICTION AND SCALEABLE FIRE SUPPORT CENTER. ASSESS USE OF LAWS IN COUNTERING THE ASYMMETRIC MARITIME THREAT. USE OF LAWS IN E2C BATTLE MANAGEMENT ROLE - EXPLORE SENSOR TO SHOOTER TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS JSTARS AND UAV AS THEY APPLY TO LITTORAL AND URBAN ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING WMD THREATS, WITHIN A JOINT STRIKE CENTER. - EXPANSION TO DYNAMIC 4D DECONFLICTION BY INCORPORATION OF LINK 16. - SACCEX USING ROF TO PROVIDE FIRE SUPPORT TO A SACC,FSCC,FSE AND FORWARD OBSERVER SIMULTANEOUSLY - JOINT STRIKE UTILIZING JSIPS-N C. FULL DIMENSION PROTECTION. FORCE PROTECTION IN JOINT THEATER AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE (JTAMD) WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON ACTIVE DEFENSE SIMULATING NAVY AREA PROTECTION CAPABILITY, ATTACK OPERATIONS SUPPORTED BY SENSOR TO SHOOTER TECHNOLOGIES AND RING OF FIRE CONCEPT AND DISTRIBUTED COLLABORATIVE PLANNING USING COMPASS. SPECIFIC EXPERIMENTAL FOCUS ON: - UOES LINEBACKER CRUISER (LOCAL OR REMOTE) TO ENHANCE PROTECTION - ROF APPLICATIONS TO ATTACK OPERATIONS - REFINEMENT OF THEATER FUTURE CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS FOR NAVY LINEBACKER CRUISERS - AADC MODULE AT SEA IN SUPPORT OF JFC. SEA BASED FORCE PROTECTION FOR NAVAL FORCES CONDUCTING OPERATIONS ASHORE. - WMD CONOPS - END TO END TADIL CONNECTIVITY D. FOCUSED LOGISTICS. CONCEPT AND EXPERIMENT UNDER DEVELOPMENT. - SEA BASED LOGISTICS FOR RESUPPLY OF THE NAVAL FORCE AND FORCES ASHORE. THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN COMBAT TROOPS ASHORE FROM SHIPS AT SEA WITHOUT BUILDING A LARGE BEACHHEAD. E. INFORMATION SUPERIORITY.
