Current and programmed Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) capabilities are insufficient to execute the Joint Forces Commander's littoral operational missions against a highly advanced regional or near-peer competitor without unacceptable risk. Systemic deficiencies in the requirements generation process have resulted in overlooking major caliber guns as a potential solution for the challenges of long range NSFS to support deep Ship-to-Objective (STOM) maneuver. Failure to solve these deficiencies places strategic, operational ...
