Amphibious Tactical Supt Units

Abstract

Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Technology Transition: Provides for research and development efforts on LCAC Future Naval Capabilities to transfer technologies to functional uses on current LCACs. Current technology initiatives include sustainability/readiness/performance analyses, LCAC communication improvements, development and qualification of Full Authority Digital Engine Controller (FADEC) for LCAC engines, new torque meter design for LCAC ETF40B engines, Marine Rotor Active Balancing System (MRABS), and LCAC fuel efficiency initiatives. Surface Connector (X) Replacement (SC(X)(R)): Replacement program for the current Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 1610 class craft - a class of craft that has significantly exceeded its 20-year planned service life. SC(X)(R) will provide similar payload, range, speed, and interoperability. Procurement is currently scheduled to begin in FY18.
