Abstract:

This report presents the key findings and recommendations that resulted from task force deliberations. Nine specific recommendations for delivering long range effects in a contested Anti-AccessArea Denial A2AD environment through employment of the Assault Breaker II ABII concept are offered for consideration by the Department of Defense.
