Fighting into the Bastions: The Future of Undersea Warfare
Long considered a sanctuary for high-end naval operations, the undersea domain is growing more crowded for the United States Navy. Communication networks, energy infrastructure, and sensor arrays litter many coastal areas. Meanwhile, uncrewed vehicles routinely survey and monitor everything from pipelines to fish stocks, and tourists and researchers explore previously unknown territory. The undersea domain is also becoming more contested for military operations. US adversaries like China and Russia are fielding increasingly capable submarines, expanding their use of seabed sensors, and mining to counter US submarine operations. After decades of relying on superior submarines as an “ace in the hole” for countering enemy aggression, the US Navy will need new approaches to sustain its undersea advantage.
