This panel examines how the United States Naval Force can strengthen readiness by integrating four essential sources of combat power: survivable manned and adaptable platforms, unmanned and expendable technology, intermediate manned vessels to transport the expendable, and commercial dual-use technologies that can accelerate adaptation. Defense leaders will discuss how traditional defense capabilities, scalable production, emerging technologies, and new models of collaboration can better prepare the force for future conflict.
