SAN DIEGO, Calif. — As the Navy looks to more tightly integrate information warfare personnel into its fleets, the next phase could include submarines.
Last year, the Navy began a pilot aboard two submarines to embed a variety of information warfare (IW) officers and sailors.

The US Department of Defense has responded to the call as they set their defence firms against each other to compete for the production of 155mm rounds of ammunition on 15 February.
