Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV)

Abstract

Future joint forces will be responsive, deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable and sustainable. The nation will need lift assets that can provide for assured access, decrease predictability and dwell time, and have the capacity to quickly deliver troops and equipment together in a manner that provides for unit integrity. Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) will provide Combatant Commanders high-speed, intra-theater sealift mobility with inherent cargo handling capability and the agility to achieve positional advantage over operational distances. Not limited to major ports, the JHSV will be able to operate in austere port environments.
