Offensive, responsive, and flexible DD-21
Article Abstract:
The US Navy is eyeing its next-generation warships such as the DD-21 to be more offensive, responsive and flexible in future engagements. The DD-21, also called the 21st-century Land-Attack Destroyer, is expected to provide substantial delivery capabilities by making it 'tactically smarter.' Expeditionary task force commander can rely on DD-21 to be a critical node in a bigger network mainly comprised of intelligence-reconnaissance assets and weapons delivery platform under the Network Centric warfare concept in the 21st century.
