The Navy has been called upon to deter or prevail in combat across a wide variety of locations and adversaries across the years.  In the CNO’s revised NAVPLAN it is clear the Navy will be expected to prevail in a new challenge, the High End Fight.  This new fight will be marked with novel issues such as classified training via LVC vice out in the open, contested logistics on the other side of the world, stealth platforms with demanding maintenance regimens, and a peer adversary with home turf advantage, more assets, and an unimaginably hostile electro-magnetic spectrum.  This panel represents the range of Naval Aviation Enterprise’s leadership that will be responsible for solving these hard problems – from the tactics and training needed, to the engineering acumen employed, through the validation of developed systems, and into the deployment stage.  Come hear how naval aviation is responding to its newest and most demanding directive.
