Amphibious Tactical Supt Units

Abstract

Technology Transition: Provides for research efforts on Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Future Naval Capabilities to transfer technologies to functional uses on current LCACs. Current technology initiatives include the following: sustainability/readiness/performance analysis; LCAC communication improvements; development and qualification of Full Authority Digital Engine Controller (FADEC) for LCAC engines; new torque meter design for ETF40B engines; active shaft balancing system; fuel efficiency initiatives. Landing Craft Utility Replacement (LCU(R)) Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA) will define mission, identify and evaluate capabilities, identify and assess potential solutions, and evaluate operational risk in order to provide recommendations for validation authority for high speed, high capacity assault craft replacement.
