在区域和潮间带情景中作战行动速度与复杂性的提高对现有的以及未来的潜艇系统提出了严肃的挑战。对非反潜战任务的重新重视,以及潜在敌人中比过去任何时候都更为复杂的威胁的增加,构成了这一挑战。在采购及训练、预算都紧缩的时刻,要应付这一挑战就要求系统设计者建造体积更小、所需人员更少、能力更强的作战系统。为了使之简化,未来作战系统必须自动完成许多目前由操作人员完成的任务,同时提供辅助功能来保持作战优势。 The increase in the speed and complexity of combat operations in regional and intertidal scenarios poses serious challenges to existing and future submarine systems. The renewed emphasis on non-anti-submarine warfare missions and the increased threat posed by more potential enemies than at any time in the past pose this challenge. At this moment of procurement and training, with tight budgets, system designers are challenged to build warfighter systems that are smaller, require fewer personnel, and are more capable. To make it simpler, future operational systems must automate many of the tasks currently performed by operators while providing ancillary functions to maintain operational advantages.
