Amphibious Tactical Supt Units
Abstract
Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC): Research and development efforts to transfer technologies into functional uses on the current LCACs. Current technology initiatives include sustainability/reliability/readiness/performance analyses, LCAC communication improvements, compliance with Cybersecurity policy regulations, and LCAC Total Ownership Costs (TOC) reduction initiatives. Landing Craft, Utility (LCU 1700): Replacement program for the current LCU 1610 class craft - a class of craft that has exceeded its 25-year planned service life by nearly double, average age of craft is approaching 50-years-old. LCU 1700 will provide similar payload, range, speed, and interoperability. Detail design contract awarded Q2 FY18. NECC Additive Manufacturing: In accordance with the National Defense Strategy (NDS), A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority 2.0, and Navy Facility Command (NAVFAC) Strategic Design 2.0, this program provides the Navy with new capabilities to enable resilient and agile logistics thru additive manufacturing (AM). Investing in AM enhances the fleet's ability to conduct operational logistics in a contested environment and ensures logistics supportability across the austere distributed battlespace. AM technology results in increased operational availability, on demand production of critical systems, and supply chain cost savings. This effort will identify critical parts suitable for AM production in the field; identify AM systems appropriate to produce and certify critical parts in the field; analyze and identify AM system implications across doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities and policy (DOTMLPF-P); conduct end-user training, field experimentation, and fleet exercise technology insertion to validate AM system capability and systems integration issues.
