Air-, surface- and subsurface-launched naval cruise missiles: Technological and operational concepts
Article Abstract:
Naval cruise missiles, irrespective of whether they are air-, surface- or subsurface-launched, are all significant assets of current and future Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) operations in terms of deployability, versatility and survivability. The technological and operational capabilities of the missiles to be launched from a variety of launch platforms, their trajectory, which reduces radar detection and advancements that enable them to be employed within C4ISR (command, control, communication, computation, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) nets, are described.

The detection of anti-ship missile threats in the littoral
Article Abstract:
The need to acquire anti-air warface (AAW) defenses is of critical importance to today's surface navies with the shift from conventional open ocean warfare toward littoral warfare. Ship AAW defense systems require an integration of detection sensors, command, control and communications components, electronic warfare elements, various weapons systems with airborne components and land-based air defences.

Littoral warfare: A new name for an old mission?
Article Abstract:
The littoral battlespace exhibits greater variability in terms of physical, biological and geospatial parameters as compared with the open-ocean environment. Naval forces operating in these regions must understand and adapt to this specific battlespace environment to maximize the performance of platforms, sensors, weapons and personnel.
