REGAINING THE HIGH GROUND AT SEA: Transforming the U.S. Navys Carrier Air Wing for Great Power Competition

This report examines trends in U.S. strategy, capabilities, and threats between now and 2040 to describe the operational concepts carrier aircraft will likely need to use in the future, as well as the implications for how carrier air wings should evolve during the next 20 years.

Despite these investments, Mark Gunzinger and Carl Rehberg note that the U.S. military still lacks the ability to defeat large numbers of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aircraft, and other emerging guided weapons threats.  Indeed, they argue that to date tangible progress toward fielding high capacity air and missile defenses has been minimal.

Organized by the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, this one-day workshop examines these and other questions with a diverse line-up of leading subject matter experts in the study of China (political science, economics, technology, foreign relations, and national security) and strategic affairs.
