The Vision for Naval Aviation 2025

"...Starting with delivery of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and introduction of carrier based unmanned, Naval Aviation is on the leading edge of achieving revolutionary changes in capability and operating concepts that include:
- The ability to find, fix, target, track, engage, and assess threats in a counter-air environment. Roles and missions will be distributed through multi-mission capable aircraft, permitting networked over-the-horizon air defense and an extended strike capability by capitalizing on the full capabilities of netted platforms, sensors, command-and-control architecture, and weapons.
- Non-kinetic maritime electromagnetic spectrum effects will be fully integrated, such as those produced by the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ). We will incorporate advanced jamming techniques while offering the potential to introduce cyber techniques, high power microwave (HPM), and other directed energy systems.
- Unmanned systems operating from the flight decks of our aircraft carriers will provide long-range persistent intelligence collection, surveillance, and organic tanker capabilities.
- Next generation integrated propulsion, power, and thermal management systems will enable breakthrough improvements to fuel efficiency that can be traded for speed, range, and/or endurance to meet mission demands.
- Improvements to survivability will include investments into electronic self-protection; electronic attack; visual, acoustic, IR, and RF signature masking; and aircraft performance.
- 5th generation low observable strike-fighters will leverage their networking and distribution capabilities to build and share battlespace awareness with Naval assets and the Joint force....
...Capacity Requirements: The Future Carrier Air Wing
...By 2025 the nominal carrier-based air wing will consist of a mix of F-35C, F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, E-2D, UCLASS, MH-60R/S and Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft. Our carrier strike groups will be supported by enabling capabilities like P-8A and MQ-4C Triton. Our vision of the minimum capacities for each of the capabilities outlined above are:
F-35C will fill the role of Defensive and Offensive Counter Air (DCA/OCA), maritime strike, conventional strike, electronic attack (EA) and Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD/DEAD) in an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) environment. The F-35C will utilize multi-ship, multi-spectral sensor fusion and autonomous geo-location and identification of advanced emitters in the employment of standoff weapons. With its advanced radar and very low observable technology the F-35C provides superior air-to-air capability and advanced air-to-ground lethality including high resolution ground mapping, combat identification and targeting of multiple ground/sea moving targets.
F/A-18E/F’s are the work horses of the air wing and will complement the first-day/first-strike capability of the F-35C. As the bulk of the strike/fighter force, the low observable Super Hornet will continue to execute many of the same mission sets as the F-35C and will act effectively as platforms to deliver long-range air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons.
EA-18G will be a critical enabler in every air wing, carrier strike group, and Joint force, bringing to the fight its fully netted warfare concept which will provide electromagnetic spectrum dominance in an electronic attack (EA) rich environment. We envision a single EA-18G squadron equipped with no less than 5 aircraft within every carrier air wing to meet the capability requirements in major combat operations...."
