Ship to Shore Connectors Contract Design

Abstract

Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) - This project provides the Preliminary and Contract design and Class test efforts for the SSC Program. 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. This project provides for the Systems Development and Demonstration package required for the solicitation for Detail Design and Construction and test of the initial article. Class Test and evaluation of components and systems will also be completed under this project. SSC provides the functional replacement for the LCAC Class of ships, which begin reaching extended service life in 2015. This project also encompasses those tasks required to develop the contract and technical data package necessary to support the procurement of the SSC Test and Training craft, including, but not limited to engineering support, programmatic and program support, logistics support, manpower and program related studies. The Test and Training craft and first production craft (Craft 101), which will be operationally fielded, are funded in RDT&E under this PE, Project 3137.
