With the rise of Near Peer military competition, submarine warfare must evolve into new warfare domains and establish a new infrastructure to support the payloads of the future rapidly and securely. Submarines have evolved over the past 100 years from simple fleet reconnaissance platforms to blockade enforcing weapons to stealth missile deployment systems. This advancement has establishedthe submarine as the essential naval platform for any conflict starting with World War I and continuing through the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The evolution of submarine technology over the past century has been continual and cutting edge, and now must advance again to meet the challenge of Near Peer competition.In the recent era of global warfare, the attack submarines primary mission and value to the U.S. Navy has been as a guard for the Aircraft Carrier-centered Surface Action Groups (SAGs) and as an offensive weapon against an enemys SAG. The growth of Near Peer competitors standoff capability has now pushed the Navy SAGs outside of range of most traditional offensive capabilities. This standoff capability now gives a new objective and new domain to the submarine, which is multi-mission engagement and the platform for the opening shots of our next conflict. The key to the next phase of submarine warfare is a rapid flexible and secure combat infrastructure for new payloads.
