N39 - SLAAD
Approve a common understanding of IO
Consolidate Oversight & Advocacy for IO
Delegate Capabilities to COCOMS
Create a Well-trained & Educated Career Force
Provide Consolidated & Comprehensive Analytic
Support
Correct Immediate Shortfalls & Develop a Long-term
Defense in Depth Strategy for CND
Mature CNA into a Reliable Warfighting Capability
Develop an Electronic Warfare Investment Strategy
Increase Psychological Operations Capabilities
Clarify Lanes in the Road for PSYOP, PA, & PD

Direction for Navy
The importance of information
operations will grow in the years
ahead…
“Information operations will play a
key role in controlling crisis
escalation and preparing the
battlefield for subsequent attack.”
SEA POWER 21 ADM Clark
“Information operations will be a
backbone and force multiplier to
our combat operations and a
fundamental part of Sea Strike.”
SEA POWER 21 Series Part III

Context… Naval Vision
“Forward postured, immediately employable…
in joint and multinational environments”

Key Players For Navy IO
 OPNAV N39
- Navy IO Strategy and Policy
 CFFC/COMFLT/Numbered Fleet N39’s
- Planning for joint and naval ops; synchronized execution
 Naval Network Warfare Command – N9
- IO Type Commander
 Carrier Strike Groups and Expeditionary
Strike Groups
- IWC’s and IW Module – Operating forces

Initiatives
 Continue to build Maritime IO into
an asymmetric warfare area that
meets threats and supports a variety
of mission areas.
 Shape the information battlespace
and create information advantages.
– Leverage Forward Presence with PSYOP
– Develop a coherent EW Roadmap
– Expand Navy Computer Network Ops
– Improve OPSEC and MILDEC
– Shape the professional workforce
appropriate for Navy IO and Sea Power 21
– Assess and measure IO in Sea Trial, other
experimentation, and operations

Psychological Operations
 Capabilities to deliver PSYOP
messages and/or be the message.
– Navy forward presence provides access for
Strategic/Operational/Tactical influence
campaigns to shape the “pre” and “post”
conflict environment and the battlespace.
– Navy PSYOP can support unique JFMCC
requirements (MIO/GWOT/etc.)
– Minimum investments embeds capability in
Naval Operating forces to develop and
disseminate PSYOP messages
A finite niche investment to further Naval missions!

Electronic Warfare
 Transform Maritime EW:
– Network based passive surveillance, platform
protection, and EA
– Seamless cross-platform interoperability
– Flexible to keep pace with rapid changes in
technology
– Comprehensive investment strategy
• Develop central Navy EW issue focal point (N39)
• Resource sponsorship embedded across NCPs
 Actions: Coherent EW Roadmap
– Framing Effort: N20, N24, N39, N61, N76, N77,
N78, NIWA, CNSG,…
– Define EW CONOPS & Architecture (NNWC)
Accelerate speed and amplify effects!

Computer Network Ops
 Computer Network Attack
– Spirally evolve capability
•
Strategic, Operational, Tactical
– Lowest possible classification level
– Leverage unique accesses
 Computer Network Defense
– Defense-in-depth
– Balance of technology, people,
and operations.
– Implementation across enclaves
Capabilities to protect FORCEnet and support Maritime missions!

OPSEC/MILDEC
 Integrate into planning, training
and operations
– Enhance OPSEC Training Support
– Revise OPSEC policy and doctrine
– Expand vulnerability assessments
(Full spectrum Red/Blue Teaming)
– Reinforce command emphasis
 Navy has a role in Strategic
and Operational Deception
– Modernize and augment tools for the
future
– Teach the art of deception; shape the
battlespace
Intelligence = Exploitation of adversary’s OPSEC failures

Navy IO Career Force
 Vision:
– Develop and maintain a competent force of personnel
with the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities to plan
and execute Naval IO.
 Educate the entire Navy workforce on IO.
– Embed IO training throughout the Navy: Accession
Training to Flag Training
 Develop IO Career Force for the Fleet.
– Consisting of IO planners and Capability Specialists
– Employ SEA WARRIOR initiatives
– Build on Mission Area Analysis and Job Task Analysis
to match billets, people, and training; to identify gaps in
requirements, training, and education.

Building the Art of Information Warfare!

Assessing a Warfare Area
 Measuring IO effects is challenging.
– How do you know how much IO is “enough” in
Ops or in the budget?
 Real time operational assessments of IO
activities are necessary for Commanders.
– No standard method to quantify non-kinetic
effects
– IO BDA tools and Combat Assessment needed
 MOE needed for future investment.
– Models and metrics struggle to adequately
evaluate ‘influence’ & other pre and post
conflict IO capabilities to quantify ROI.
A finite niche investment to further Naval missions!

Summary
 IO is maturing as a maritime
warfare area.
 Navy committed to topdown, joint constructs.
 Continue to refine right
strategy, tactics and
capabilities for maritime
roles and missions.
Capabilities to create the Information Advantage!
