10 Warfare Innovation Continuum Warfighting in the Contested Littorals Will emerging technologies (unmanned systems, advanced computing power, automation, advanced sensor capabilities, laser weapons etc.) allow us to fight effectively in the complex and an electromagnetically contested littoral environment against sea denial forces? Warfare Innovation Continuum proposes a series of independent, but coordinated NPS cross-campus educational and research activities to provide insight into the opportunities for warfighting in the contested littorals: Swarm ISR to support tactically offensive operations Expeditionary mining and marine raid concepts Alternative methods of ship to ship communications in a Network Optional Warfare concept Defensive laser weapons 10
