Technical areas of research and development are ever expanding. Critical to all submarine operations is an accurate knowledge of the geographical position of the submarine on the surface of the earth. Advances in this area are the subject of the first discussion below. It is of note that the execution of an engagement with an adversarial platform requires an accurate tactical picture relative to the target which relies on own-ship sensors, weapons, systems processing, together with an expanding knowledge of the underwater oceanographic and hydrographic operating environment.. These are areas which will be rapidly enhanced by the development afforded via quantum computing and AI.
