The speakers will provide perspective on these new challenges and opportunities as the dawn breaks on the 21st Century.Ĭolloquium Speaker: RADM Rodney P. The attention must turn to ever more demanding threats as TBMs and overland cruise missiles proliferate in the hands of potential enemies. The 21st Century also demands defining and developing our next generation Air Defense Systems. These capabilities can be exercised without regard to access and sovereignty issues that hamper rapid and effective use of land-based forces. The response to potential aggression from adversaries will be continued emphasis on Assured Access and its corollary, Projected Defense: the ability to defend ourselves and forces ashore with at sea forces, forward and engaged. Navy in the 21st Century has an enduring mission of Maritime Dominance to be ensured by operational primacy through sufficient number of ships, properly trained and equipped officers and sailors, and success in emerging missions: Theatre Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) as part of Theatre Air Dominance and Long-Range Precision Strike as part of Land Attack.
