Abstract

This project provides the contract design, development and testing efforts for the Amphibious Assault Ship Replacement Program LHA(R). The LHA (R) is a ship construction program designed to: (1) provide a functional replacement for the Amphibious Assault Ships which begin reaching the end of their extended service lives after FY11 (2) be a key platform in the Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) of the future and (3)provide for an affordable and sustainable amphibious ship development program. LHA(R) ships will provide forward presence and power projection as an integral part of Joint, inter-agency, and multi-national maritime expeditionary forces. Additionally, LHA(R) will be designed to operate for sustained periods in transit to and operations in an Amphibious Objective Area to include the embarkation, deployment, and landing of a Marine Landing Force in an assault by helicopters and tilt rotors (MV-22) supported by Joint Strike Fighters (F-35B).
