- How will we integrate the next-generation airborne ASW platform with the suite of sensors and systems that support the undersea mission set?
- What are the limitations for the conventional airborne platform in the context of contested and congested operating environments?
- The place of unmanned capability in the future airborne ASW project. Where should unmanned capability be expected to gap-fill for the manned platform?
