Ik gebruik onderstaande "opdracht" van een andere site maar even als startpunt voor een bredere discussie over dit mijns inziens actuele onderwerp. Iets waar ook de Nederlandse Marine mee te maken kan krijgen binnen een aantal scenario's...en dus ook de vraag of men daar voldoende op voorbereid is.

Crowd-sourcing Counter-swarm

You guys seem to have a good time on the anti-CV thread: tons of responses, many of them thoughtful and well informed, others... not so much. Here's another one. Discuss an ASUW scenario using three sets of roughly cost-equivalent -- a billion dollars and change more or less -- forces in the near future:

1) a single FLT II DDG with armed MH-60s
2) a pair of LCS with ASUW module (assuming the Griffin), MH-60 and 2 x armed Fire Scouts; and
3) a squadron (say 10) offshore patrol craft (use the River Class for consistency) with embarked (armed) Fire scouts.

The threat: a multi-access swarm of 15 inshore attack craft (mostly crew served weapons/RPGs) and 5 fast attack craft with modern-ish ASCMs (C-704). Assume no external support in this case other than embarked organic air. How would you defend against/defeat this threat using each of the given force structures? If you'd like, describe the scenario for both low sea states (1-2) and higher (4-5) in both open water or a straits transit. Go.
