CONCLUSIONS
In summary, the Navy is in a transition period in ASW, leaving behind the era of
acknowledged advantage employing a relatively narrow set of techniques. Some
promise of reasonable tactical performance against non-traditional signals has been
demonstrated, and some new techniques appear effective. Hypotheses about ocean
acoustic performance that influenced Navy ASW operations are now being tested.
New scientific hypotheses are being developed, and considerable progress in basic
knowledge will be required before the Navy can confidently defend against quieter
foreign submarines. In addition, the range of non-acoustic concepts is broadening
and offers many research opportunities. The science issues involved in ASW can also
affect anti-surface warfare, mine warfare, surveillance, environmental protection, and
other Navy-relevant areas. This provides a strong rationale for an expanding and
broad-based Ocean Sciences program at the Office of Naval Research. The
substantial progress that the United States has achieved is testimony to the quality of
the past decades of Navy-supported oceanographic research.
