Winds of Change
• INCHON decommissioned w/o replacement
– Ship of opportunity embarks on KEARSARGE,
PONCE, CLEVELAND, GUNSTON HALL
• Organic systems progressing
• LCS is CNO’s top priority-MIW modules high
visibility
• MH-53E’s under budgetary pressure
• Current Organic Plan Not in Sync with Sea
Power 21
HSV
• HSV Provides MCM C2 Platform
– Home for organic MIW capability
• MH-60 + RMS + UUV+USV
• Flexible Mission Packages
– MIWC Embarked on HSV
– Dual Crewing Maximizes Operational Availability
– High Speed Provides Rapid Surge Capability
• Synergy in Numbers
Unmanned Systems
• REMUS operational with Navy Special
Clearance Team ONE
– Just completed first wartime deployment of UUV

CONOPS-Today
• FDNF supplemented by CONUS-based
squadron staff
• MH-53s airlifted to theater
– Shore based and/or lily pad ops
– Ship of Opportunity
• MCMs self-deploy; MHCs need heavy lift
• HSV X-1 has theater tasking
• HSV SWIFT will be delivered Jul 03
CONOPS-2005
• HSV SWIFT Provides MCM C2 Platform
– Provides home for ESF organic assets
• MH-60, AQS-20, ALMDS, RMS, UUV, USV, EOD
• (RAMICS and AMNS IOC-07, OASIS IOC-08)
– ESF MIWC embarked on HSV
– High speed enables rapid deployment
• MH-53s airlifted to theater; based ashore or
afloat
– HSV supports AMCM 105 sled ops
• FDNF ships provide dedicated SMCM,
supplemented by CONUS ships if req’d
CONOPS-2015
• LCS hosts full complement of organic assets
for CSG
• Multiple HSV / LCS support regional ESF
deployments
– Exploratory, punch-through, and covert MCM modules
• ESF MIWC embarked on HSV / LCS
– Dual crewing maximizes operational availability
– High speed provides rapid surge capability
• Synergy in Numbers
– Could reduce requirement for dedicated AMCM
• FDNF SMCM still play role for large area
clearance
The Way Ahead
• Continue support for dedicated force
– MCMs and MH-53s indispensible
• Accelerate organic systems to support LCS
• Continue HSV experimentation
• Review optimal basing for contingencies
and homeland security
