Summary

• This monograph will examine the changing roles and missions of the carrier platform in Service, Joint, and Allied/combined planning and will assess the Navy's plans for a new generation aircraft carrier.
• In so doing, the authors seek to place into context Congressional and OSD consideration of the CVX program, while offering new insights into the operational utility of a carrier platform that will incorporate revolutionary manning techniques, rely on advanced revolution in military affairs (RMA) technologies, and embark a new class of aircraft for strike and reconnaissarice missions.
• Also discussed is the CVX's technological advances as compared to current generation Nimitz-class carriers, its enhanced self-protection techniques, new operational concepts for its employment, and its affordability.
