Book Synopsis Modernizing the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Fleet by : John Frederic Schank
Download or read book Modernizing the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Fleet written by John Frederic Schank and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy is currently designing the next generation aircraft carrier, the CVN 21. This class of carriers will use the same basic hull form as the current Nimitz class but will include a substantial redesign of the interior of the ship for improved weapons handling and stores management functions. It will also incorporate several new technologies including a new propulsion system and new aircraft launch and recovery systems. These improvements not only will increase the operational capability of the ship but also are anticipated to lower the ship's manpower requirements and maintenance costs. Under current force modernization plans, new ships of the CVN 21 class will be introduced every four or five years as the ships of the Nimitz class reach the end of their planned 50-year operational life. Under this strategy, Nimitz class carriers will be operating for over 50 more years and it will take decades to transform the aircraft carrier fleet to ships of the new class.On the basis of some preliminary calculations that appeared promising, RAND proposed to the Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aircraft Carriers an examination of a way to accelerate the transformation of the carrier force: replacing Nimitz-class carriers as they reach mid-life instead of refueling them. In this report we identify specific fleet management options for building new instead of refueling, and we evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. This report should be of interest to Navy and Office of Secretary of Defense planners examining fleet modernization options, especially those organizations addressing the costs of alternative force structure options.
Book Synopsis Leveraging America's Aircraft Carrier Capabilities by : John Gordon
Download or read book Leveraging America's Aircraft Carrier Capabilities written by John Gordon and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States seeks ways to stretch its defense dollars, pursue the Global War on Terrorism, and meet other national-security challenges, it is highly likely that policymakers will increase their reliance on aircraft carriers, using them more often and in more situations than they have in the past, especially if the vessels have the additional capabilities to respond appropriately. The current and expected use of aircraft carriers led the United States Navy in fall 2004 to commission RAND to explore new and nontraditional ways that the United States might be able to employ aircraft carriers in pursuit of traditional and emerging military and homeland defense missions. Over six months, RAND created and convened two Concept Options Groups (COGs)-small groups of experienced military and civilian experts, defense analysts, and potential users who work together to identify promising ways to employ military might in nontraditional ways-to explore possible nontraditional roles for aircraft carriers. One COG explored and identified new ways that aircraft carriers could be used in combat operations; the second COG examined ways that the vessels could be used in noncombat, homeland security missions or to help the nation recover from terrorist attacks or natural disasters in U.S. territories. Among the combat recommendations to come from the COG insights are that abilities need to be enhanced to reconfigure carrier air wings; among noncombat recommendations are that the availability of nonready carriers to respond to unforeseen crises needs to be improved. This monograph summarizes the activities, findings, and recommendations of both carrier COGs. It should be of special interest to the Navy and to uniformed and civilian decisionmakers with responsibilities related to naval and carrier operations, maritime domain awareness, or homeland security.
Book Synopsis Options for Funding Aircraft Carriers by :
Download or read book Options for Funding Aircraft Carriers written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 40 years, Congress has funded the construction of U.S. Navy ships by appropriating enough money to pay for the entire construction project in the initial year of construction. This "full-funding" practice was undertaken to ensure that Congress was aware of the total cost of a project before it was begun and that one Congress would not bequeath to subsequent ones a choice between further appropriations and midcourse cancellation. The Navy begins construction of a new aircraft carrier every fourth or fifth year (on average), and the fully funded cost of a carrier can rep- resent a quarter or more of the total Navy shipbuilding budget. Because federal revenues do not increase by the cost of a carrier every fourth or fifth year, appropriating money for a carrier usually means reducing appropriations for something else that year for other shipbuilding efforts, other Navy programs, spending elsewhere in the Department of Defense (DoD), or outside DoD.

Book Synopsis The Carrier Air Wing of the Future by : David Barno
Download or read book The Carrier Air Wing of the Future written by David Barno and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper suggests alternatives as the Navy balances emerging threats, shrinking resources and enduring global responsibilities. The authors write that "the Navy needs a resource-informed strategic approach to the next carrier air wing that accounts for the fact that the operational environment of the 2020s and 2030s could involve very different threats, technologies and capabilities." Despite these uncertainties, the Navy has positioned itself well and given itself numerous viable options to improve the capabilities and capacities of its carrier air wings. The options presented in this paper illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of four general approaches to the problem. Realistically, however, no single option is likely to provide the right answer on its own. The Navy should seriously evaluate all of these options and more, find the best combination of choices and then make its case to the Department of Defense leadership, Congress and the nation. Navy leaders must evaluate the options through the lens of their judgment about the nature of future conflict and the Navy's global responsibilities. Ultimately, they must find the right combination of choices that best serves the Navy's and the nation's needs. Making the right choices will determine, in no small way, the future relevance of aircraft carriers and the global reach of the U.S. Navy.

This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CVN-78, CVN-79, CVN-80, and CVN-81 are the first four ships in the Navy's new Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs). CVN-78 (named for Gerald R. Ford) was procured in FY2008. The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $12,964.0 million (i.e., about $13.0 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received advance procurement (AP) funding in FY2001-FY2007 and was fully funded in FY2008-FY2011 using congressionally authorized four-year incremental funding. To help cover cost growth on the ship, the ship received an additional $1,394.9 million in FY2014-FY2016 and FY2018 cost-to-complete procurement funding. The ship was delivered to the Navy on May 31, 2017, and was commissioned into service on July 22, 2017. CVN-79 (named for John F. Kennedy) was procured in FY2013. The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $11,341.4 million (i.e., about $11.3 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received AP funding in FY2007-FY2012, and was fully funded in FY2013-FY2018 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in September 2024. CVN-80 (named Enterprise) was procured in FY2018. The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $12,601.7 million (i.e., about $12.6 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received AP funding in FY2016 and FY2017, and the Navy plans to fully fund the ship in FY2018-FY2023 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget requests $1,598.2 million in procurement funding for the ship. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in September 2027. CVN-81 (not yet named) is scheduled to be procured in FY2023. The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $15,088.0 million (i.e., about $15.1 billion) in then-year dollars. The Navy plans to request AP funding for the ship in FY2021 and FY2022, and then fully fund the ship in FY2023-FY2028 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy's FY2019 budget submission programs the initial increment of AP funding for the ship in FY2021. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in September 2032. Oversight issues for Congress for the CVN-78 program for FY2019 include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2019 procurement funding requests for the CVN-78 program; whether to accelerate the procurement of CVN-81 from FY2023 to an earlier year, or use a block buy contract to procure multiple aircraft carriers, or pursue a combined material buy for multiple aircraft carriers, or do some combination of these things; cost growth in the CVN-78 program, Navy efforts to stem that growth, and Navy efforts to manage costs so as to stay within the program's cost caps; whether to conduct the shock trial for the CVN-78 class in the near term, on the lead ship in the class, or years later, on the second ship in the class; CVN-78 program issues that were raised in a January 2018 report from the Department of Defense's (DOD's) Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E); and whether the Navy should shift at some point from procuring large-deck, nuclear-powered carriers like the CVN-78 class to procuring smaller aircraft carriers.

Ford (CVN-78) class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs). CVN-78 was fully funded in prior fiscal years. The Navy's proposed FY2016 budget requests procurement for CVN-79 and advance procurement (AP) funding for CVN-80. CVN-78 was procured in FY2008. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $12,887.0 million (i.e., about $12.9 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received advance procurement funding in FY2001-FY2007 and was fully funded in FY2008-FY2011 using congressionally authorized four-year incremental funding. To help cover cost growth on the ship, the ship received an additional $1,374.9 million in FY2014-FY2016 in FY2015 in so-called cost-to-complete procurement funding. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget does not request any additional funding for the ship. The Navy has postponed the ship's delivery date repeatedly to accommodate delays in its construction and testing process. As of January 2017, the ship was scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in April 2017. CVN-79 was procured in FY2013. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $11,398.0 million (i.e., about $11.4 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received advance procurement funding in FY2007-FY2012, and the Navy plans to fully fund the ship in FY2013-FY2018 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget requests $1,291.8 million in procurement funding for the ship. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in June 2022. CVN-80 is scheduled to be procured in FY2018. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget estimates the ship's procurement cost at $12,900.0 million (i.e., $12.9 billion) in then-year dollars. The Navy wants to use AP funding for the ship in FY2016 and FY2017, and then fully fund the ship in FY2018-FY2023 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy's proposed FY2017 budget requests $1,370.8 million in AP funding for the ship. CVN-81 is scheduled to be procured in FY2023. Under current plans, the Navy would use AP funding for the ship in FY2021 and FY2022, and then fully fund the ship in FY2023-FY2028 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy's FY2017 budget submission programs the initial increment of AP funding for the ship in FY2021. Oversight issues for Congress for the CVN-78 program (and other carrier-related issues) include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2017 procurement and advance procurement (AP) funding requests for the CVN-78 program; whether to provide advance procurement (AP) funding in FY2017 for the purchase of materials for CVN-81, so as to enable a combined purchase of materials for CVN-80 and CVN-81 (the Navy's proposed FY2017 budget does not request any AP funding for the procurement of materials for CVN-81); whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's proposal in its FY2017 budget submission to deactivate one of the Navy's carrier air wings; cost growth in the CVN-78 program, Navy efforts to stem that growth, and Navy efforts to manage costs so as to stay within the program's cost caps; CVN-78 program issues that were raised in a January 2016 report from the Department of Defense's (DOD's) Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E); and whether the Navy should shift at some point from procuring large-deck, nuclear-powered carriers like the CVN-78 class to procuring smaller aircraft carriers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a letter to the Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences' Naval Studies Board, dated May 2, 1990, the Secretary of the Navy stated that the Conference Report on the Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1990 directed the Navy to commission an independent study of future aircraft carrier technologies. Stating further that the study should produce a technology plan for the evolution of sea bases for the most efficient and economical accommodation of tactical air power in the first half of the twenty-first century, the Secretary requested the Board to conduct a study providing: a survey of applicable technologies, an assessment of risks associated with the development of these various technologies, estimated magnitude of the costs of developing these technologies for future aircraft carriers, the likely impact of technologies on aircraft carrier design. The Secretary concluded by Stating that he envisioned that the result of this effort will be a menu of technology options that will affect future aircraft carrier designs, ' and that the final report of the requested study should be completed by June 30, 1991.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On numerous occasions over the past 50 years, U.S. military and civilian defense leaders have relied on aircraft carriers and their air assets, not only as key forward-based elements of the nation's deterrent and warfighting force but also when the United States has needed to project military power, engage in hostile operations, provide humanitarian relief, or fulfill a range of other hostile and nonhostile missions. Because they offer unparalleled mobility, provide sustained military presence, can send signals of U.S. concern and possible action, and free the United States from having to conduct flight operations from foreign bases or obtain permission from foreign powers to fly over territory, aircraft carriers likely will continue to be an asset of choice for years to come. Indeed, it is entirely possible that, as the United States seeks ways to stretch its defense dollars, pursue the Global War on Terrorism, and meet other national-security challenges, policymakers will increase their reliance on aircraft carriers, using them more often and in more situations, than they have in the past, especially if the vessels have the additional capabilities to respond appropriately.
