SEA BASING
Abstract
This activity includes advancement of technologies to support the design and development of Sea Base Enabler Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP's). Areas include design and development of various Sea Basing prototypes in the areas of high speed, shallow draft and beachable connectors; and vessel to vessel interfaces. The Sea Base Enabler INP effort was initiated in FY 2006. The INP program spans from conceptual design through prototype fabrication and testing. This INP plan includes the completion of the development and at-sea testing of the Rapid Deployable Seabasing Stable Transfer Platform demonstrator; the continuation of several land based and tow-tank based model construction and testing for the Sea Base to "Over-the-Shore" Connector Transformational Craft (T-CRAFT) Prototype; and the full scale component-level development, evaluation, and testing of critical T-CRAFT technologies. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding decrease is due to the completion of contract design and shipyard building plans for T-CRAFT prototype and component construction. The decrease of funding from FY 2012 to FY 2013 is the result of the transfer of resources from this R2 activity to a new FNC R2 activities titled Enterprise and Platform Enablers. Efforts in this R2 activity have been continued from FY 2012 to FY 2013 into the new R2 activity to support all FNC program EC Investments.
