Adm. Jonathan
Greenert, chief of naval operations, was direct in listing his
priorities for the nearly 3,000 in attendance at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo, being held in Washington, D.C., Wednesday
and Thursday. The CNO's priorities are:
- Getting off gun powder. Lasers and railguns will provide an incredibly deep magazine at remarkably low cost, he said.
- Developing unmanned underwater vehicles with greater propulsion
capacity that will help the U.S. maintain underwater dominance and
bridge the gap when the sub fleet begins a 10-year dip in mid-2020. - Protecting proprietary data. Greenert said this keeps him up at night,
as the high-tech innovations of today will be classified top secret
tomorrow
