Unmanned Logistics Systems for Semi-Submersibles (ULS/SS)
Abstract
ULS/SS is a late FY 2023 new-start project that will deliver an advanced low-cost, covert Joint Force logistics transport vehicle with cargo handling capability that provides tactical mobility and critical resupply from ship-to-shore and inter-island distribution networks beyond the Weapons Engagement Zone (WEZ), which is essential to executing Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Maritime Operations. ULS/SS will build upon previous phased low-profile vessel (LPV) efforts to develop, integrate, and test the Material Handling Equipment (MHE) required for transloading (loading/offloading) efficiently and effectively in austere environments and locations. ULS/SS will also develop or adopt ancillary equipment to transport large, heavy payloads from an afloat craft to the shore.
