Abstract
FY17 dollars in the amount of $4.221M continue to support project advanced component development, and prototype of equipment and sub-systems supporting the Army Watercraft mission to provide critical capabilities in support of Unified Land Operations (ULO), 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 Army Watercraft Systems, 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 funding supports initiatives to enhance the seaworthiness, safety, survivability, supportability, energy efficiency, environmental, regulatory compliance 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. The funding supports our ability to be compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act of 1996 Section 312 and 502(6) of the Clean Water Act and compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission standards. FY17 funding will primarily support the maturation of At Sea Transfer - Modular Warping Tug (MWT) Repower study and an (MWT) Electrical Standardization study. Additional requirements to support Energy and Efficiency Compliance, Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS) across the fleet and Force Protection for LSV.
