Mission Sustain required current readiness and advance future warfighting capabilities at best possible cost. How We Operate Formed in 2004, the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) is a collaborative partnership of supported and supporting Title 10 stakeholders across the Navy and Marine Corps that are individually and collectively responsible for managing and providing all aspects of Naval Aviation readiness. Led by Commander, Naval Air Forces (CNAF) and the Deputy Commandant for Aviation (DCA), the Navy and Marine Corps are equal partners. Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is the lead provider to the NAE. The NAE is not represented by a traditional organizational chart, nor does it have its own funding line. Instead, the NAE is a partnership and a way of doing business. Focusing on collective and collaborative data-driven decision-making, the NAE leverages defined processes, hierarchical metrics and integrated teams to manage Naval Aviation with an enterprise approach to provide the warfighting readiness required to meet our country’s national policy and objectives. More than 190,000 Sailors, Marines, civilians and contractors contribute to the enterprise approach within Naval Aviation. They work in different organizations that must all work together to ensure readiness in a cost-effective manner. Naval Aviation’s enterprise approach drives this collaboration -- getting the right people together with the right information to break down barriers, spearhead cost-effective initiatives and provide leadership with critical data to make superior decisions.
