Ship to Shore Connector (SSC)

Abstract

Note: Funding for this effort in FY 2014 and earlier was previously under PE 0604567N under projects 3133 and 3137. This PE directly funds and supports the detail design, development, construction, issue resolution, certification, integration and testing to include Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) of the Ship to Shore Connector (SSC). The lead craft (Craft 100) will be maintained as a test and training platform throughout its life cycle. SSC is an air-cushioned landing craft intended to transport personnel, weapon systems, equipment, and cargo from amphibious vessels to shore in assault and non-assault operations. The SSC program provides the capability to rapidly move assault forces with the littoral operational environment to accomplish Unified Command Plan (UCP) missions and ensures the Joint Force Commander's (JFCDR's) ability to conduct amphibious operations and operate over the high water mark, including movement over ice, mud, rivers, swamps and marshes. The SSC program provides the functional replacement for the LCAC craft, including (SLEP) which begin to degrade below the Required Operational Capability/Projected Operational Environment (ROC/POE) requirement beginning in 2015. SSC addresses this capability gap.
