U.S. Navy CTO Mission
UNCLASSIFIED

• Synchronize and facilitate Navy efforts to deter,
  dissuade, and defeat terrorist organizations and
  networks.

Navy provides a clandestine or overt, persistent,
and agile platform for full-spectrum irregular
warfare operations against terrorist
organizations across the maritime domain.

Mission and Guidance
UNCLASSIFIED

• With the distance of time, we find ourselves
  debating the causes of conflict and the course we
  have followedYet one question has surely been
  settled that to win the war on terror we must
  take the fight to the enemy.
• The war on terror we fight today is a
  generational struggle that will continue long
  after you and I have turned our duties over to
  others.
• - President George W. Bush
• National Strategy for Maritime Security
• Detect, deter, interdict, and defeat terrorist
  attacks
• The Navy (CNO Mission Statement)
• The United States Navy will organize, train,
  maintain, and equip combat-ready naval forces
  capable of winning the global war on terror

Defining the Battlespace The Arc of Instability
UNCLASSIFIED
The fight will move from Iraq and Afghanistan
and be a worldwide struggle, need to move and get
to a distributed maritime capability to engage
this threat.
Special Forces CDR Nov 06

• Why Navy?
• Access
• Persistent deployed presence
• Dont require developed bases / infrastructure
• Bring full spectrum capability (ISR, Strike, SOF
  support, Staging) with small footprint

Current Capabilities
UNCLASSIFIED

• Persistent and clandestine ISR
• All sensor target development in areas that
  Terror Networks are expanding in
• Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) deployment
• Piracy surveillance
• Clandestine strike (TLAM to Naval Gunfire)
• Contingency SOF insertion supply
• Electronic Attack/Network Disruption

Navy CTO UAV Way Ahead
UNCLASSIFIED

• Why a Maritime UAV?
• No requirement to base ISR assets in another
  country
• Provides immediate target localization
• Responsive closer to the target area
• Distributed capability w/ Navys global presence
• Current UAV Development Plan
• Increment 1 Bridge launched UAV
• Positive Target ID and Collateral Damage
  Assessment
• Increment 2 Dry Deck Shelter launched UAV
• SSGN/SSN capability
• Increment 3 Integrate existing Predator UAV
• Ground Launch with control from local assets
• Increment 4 Clandestinely deployable
• Capable of launch from LCS or submerged submarine

Optimizing Navy CT Efforts
UNCLASSIFIED

• Recommend the formation of a Counterterrorist
  Organization (CTO) at OPNAV to efficiently carry
  out the fullest range of functions to improve
  Navy CT / IW efforts in the Long War. With the
  continually evolving nature of GWOT, Navy
  adaptations in organization and alignment,
  implemented now, will better posture Navy to
  optimize its unique contributions ...
• - DEEP BLUE (CNO Think Tank)
• Reflects todays use for Surface, Air, and ground
  forces, as well as submarines
• Allow broader and agile solution sets to address
  an aggressive and evolving threat
• Permits broader and fuller engagement with USG
  and allies against Islamist extremism

Possible expansion of Navy equities with CT
operations
