(U)Ship to Shore Connector (SSC)

Abstract

Note: This effort was previously funded under PE 0604567N under projects 3133 and 3137 (FY 2014 and prior). This PE directly funds and supports the detail design, development, construction, issue resolution, certification, integration and testing 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 within 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 Service Life Extension Program(SLEP) which began to degrade below the Required Operational Capability/Projected Operational Environment (ROC/POE) requirement beginning in 2015. SSC addresses this capability gap.
