Utilization and risk of undersea communications

This paper assesses utilization and risks of undersea communications in the context of multiple naval operational environments, with a focus on undersea warfare and anti-submarine warfare (ASW). We considered possible uses of undersea communications capability for both offense and defense., and for supporting undersea warfare in three different contexts: wide area surveillance in deep water, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) protection in deep water, and CSG protection in shallow water.
