Abstract: | The purpose of this project is to conduct independent research to determine the optimal types and quantities of next generation logistics ships (NGLS) required to meet future intra-theater survivable logistics demand. This research addresses these requirements through the logistical lens of refueling. Capabilities and limitations have been identified via top-level requirements necessary to meet the future joint naval concepts of distributed military operations, littorals in a contested environment, and expeditionary advanced base operations. Research in support of the NGLS force analysis is centered on capacity, capability, employment, and distribution. This research assumes that commodities will be required both afloat and ashore in contested regions. The project uses elements of literature review and modeling to determine the optimal type and quantity of platforms capable of meeting the forecasted demand. This research recommends an optimal solution focused on minimizing the number of resupply missions within the contested regions. The project expands on potential information and bias gaps that may have been overlooked by the project sponsor at the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV N4). |
