Abstract
The FY15 dollars in the amount of $2.603 million supports project advanced component development, and prototype of equipment and sub-systems supporting the Army Watercraft mission to provide critical capabilities in support of full-spectrum land combat operations, by extending the Commander's available maneuver space into and throughout the littorals, inland waterways and near coastal regions. Army watercraft equipment supports the conduct of riverine, Logistics Over The Shore (LOTS), Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS), inter and intratheater transport, movement and maneuver, mission command and sustainment, as identified in DODD 5100.01 (Functions of the Department of Defense and its Major Components). Army Watercraft exploit the inland waterways and littoral regions as waterborne maneuver and supply routes, conducting operations through littoral entry points (developed, undeveloped, and austere access points) and in non-permissive, and/or denied access scenarios. The Army uses a spectrum of lighterage and floating craft, from heavy sustainment ocean going landing craft capable of intratheater and ship to shore transport and undeveloped beach or harbor access, to ocean-going and harbor utility tug boats and barge derricks for transport and denied port/salvage operations, and modular causeway systems to support LOTS/JLOTS. The development of the Maneuver Support Vessel-Light (MSV-L) Capabilities Production Document (CPD) will ensure the Army addresses the most glaring capability gaps within the Army Watercraft fleet. Funding will also be used to enhance the maturation of equipment, systems and sub-systems into Army Watercraft for the purposes of improved performance, energy efficiency, environmental, and regulatory compliance. The funding supports initiatives to enhance the seaworthiness, safety, survivability, supportability, and reliability of existing systems. Funded efforts will advance critical gaps in these areas for the current fleet, while at the same time researching, developing and testing emergent technologies in a manner to support future acquisitions and future fleet planning, as informed by the Army Watercraft Systems Board of Directors (AWS BOD). Fleet wide funding requirements will complete core requirements for development, prototype operational testing, and military unit assessment of several projects. Core requirements include: externally-mounted accommodation units in support of crew and supercargo berthing; integration of Escalation of Force (EoF) force protection enhancements (both lethal and non-lethal); and development of Battle Command on the Move (BCOTM) and Common Operating Picture (COP)/interoperability aspects of existing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR). The development of environmental and energy efficiency technologies will also be addressed, to ensure continued compliance with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. Funding also furthers the development of digital technology integration in the areas of near and real time logistics management, area situational awareness, trend analysis, Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+), equipment monitoring and diagnostics/prognostics and related functional areas, as well as development of ship to shore (at sea transfer), Economic Useful Life (EUL) and corrosion technologies.
