The Panel on the Implications of Advancing Technology for Naval Aviation was established at the request of the Chief Naval of Naval Operations (CNO) on January 16, 1980. The task of the Panel was to consider the Navy's current patterns of naval warfare involving naval aviation together with evolving relevant technology, and to derive from this: (1) recommendations concerning the most important technical trends to assist the Navy in developing its future R&D programs, and (2) suggestions for new systems concepts made possible by expected technological advances that would enhance the effectiveness of the Navy. The CNO also asked the Panel to address three more specific questions: (1) What should be the future forms of the carrier. (2) What might be the impact of V/STOL on the carrier and form of the Navy. (3) What might be the impact of cruise missiles on the Navy. The Panel is convinced that technology is available, and the developing threat makes it imperative that the Navy pursue operational concepts in which there is a wider dispersal of carrier battle group assets than would be feasible with currently planned surface and airborne elements. The directions for development that will both control the evolution and capitalize on the opportunities it offers are listed.
