The U.S. Navy’s move from the traditional “Blue Water” fleet to an integrated, network-centric, multi-tasking fleet designed to operate nearer to shore — in the Littoral — means that undersea detection and defense capabilities are riding an all- time high. As the U.S. fleet moves closer to shore, the number of potential threats multiplies exponentially, particularly from under the water, and accordingly the U.S. Navy and its indus- try partners have been working overtime to outfit navy vessels with top-tier technology designed to keep ships and sailors safe.

Our navy insider, Edward Lundquist, recently visited Naval

Surface Warfare Center in Panama City, Fla., to report on the Navy’s effort to modularize undersea combat systems in it’s new fleet of ships.
