It is recognized that the integration of weapon platforms between the U.S. Navy and its Allies and Partners provide an asymmetric advantage against adversaries. As energy intensive capabilities designed to sustain and enhance warfighting lethality emerge and are fielded, the U.S. Navy’s operational energy demand continues to increase. As operational energy demand increases, the Department Of Navy targets strategies to reduce the threat of climate change. The Secretary of the Navy has addressed operational emissions by focusing on initiatives that decrease emissions while increasing capability as part of the government’s net-zero emissions goal by 2050. The U.S. Navy recognizes that new approaches and innovative technologies are required to modernize platforms for energy reduction, increased endurance, enhanced operational flexibility, and to support forward presence. Updated energy parameters are necessary to drive technology innovation and policy. 000010695 542__ $$fCC-BY 000010695 6531_ $$aOperational Energy 000010695 6531_ $$aClimate 000010695 6531_ $$aTechnology 000010695 6531_ $$aPartnerships 000010695 6531_ $$aPerformance Parameters 000010695 7001_ $$aStutevant, G$$uUS Navy 000010695 7001_ $$aVoth, J$$uHerren Associates 000010695 7001_ $$aSorrentino, V$$uHerren Associates 000010695 7001_ $$aPence, E$$uHerren Associates 000010695 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000010695 773__ $$jINEC 2022 000010695 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/category/categories/imarest-event/international-naval-engineering-conference-and-exhibition-2022$$yConference website 000010695 8564_ $$9f664cbd9-dbd9-40a5-9764-3d55b6719f07$$s875068$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/10695/files/INEC_2022_paper_25.pdf 000010695 980__ $$aConference Proceedings
