During the cruise missile phases of Operation Desert Storm, heavy anti-aircraft artillery, small arms fire, and networked electronic warfare had to be assessed and suppressed by tactical aircraft. In Bosnia and the Persian Gulf, precise techniques were used to minimize civilian casualties and damage to proper~, since tactical targets were often near, or even adjacent to, civilian assets.

The participants were asked to discuss ways to: · address timely operational problems, fleet mission needs, and other areas in which METOC research and development solutions need to be developed; · enhance communication and interchange among the basic and applied research communities, as well as with naval forces engaged In strike warfare and ship self-defense; and · enable an extended group of researchers to become familiar with challenging naval issues that are uniquely or strongly applicable to the strike warfare and ship self-defense METOC regime. Several introductory presentations were made to familiarize symposium participants with tactical operations and filture challenges in meteorology and oceanography.
