MARINE ORIEN LOG EQ AD
Abstract
Funding supports project advanced component development and prototype equipment for Army watercraft to provide critical capabilities to support full-spectrum land combat operations by extending the Commanders' available maneuver space to conduct tactical port and Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) operations, take advantage waterborne maneuver and supply routes, and conduct operations through littoral entry points even in the face of access-denial environments. The Army utilizes a combination of ocean-going and inner harbor floating craft, such as tug boats, modular causeway systems and barge derricks, and ocean-going heavy sustainment lift and high speed craft. FY12 funding will be used to support the Vessel-to-Shore Bridging (VSB). The VSB Initial Capabilities Document has been approved and the funding will be used for follow-on research and development to support the transition of the VSB to an acquisition program. VSB will optimize the throughput capabilities of the Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) across extended mudflats/tidal estuaries by providing a more rapid and increased flow of combat power and sustainment through multiple austere theater access points. FY12 funding will also be used to support the research and development of vessels to replace a tactical port operations landing craft mechanized (LCM-8) vessel and a heavy lift sustainment vessel. The vessels are in their early stages of core requirements development. Army watercraft systems fleet-wide research and development funding requirements will complete core requirements development and prototype operational testing and military unit assessment for external people pods to accommodate additional temporary vessel berthing. Funding will also be used for Escalation of Force (EoF) force protection enhancements and Army watercraft unique Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) research, development and testing.
