Combatant Craft Medium (CCM)

Abstract

The CCM is a semi-enclosed multi-mission combatant craft for platoon-size maritime mobility in maritime contested environments. It is multi-mission capable, including Maritime Interdiction, Insert/Extract, and Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Operations. The CCM is Naval Special Warfare’s (NSW) craft-of-choice for long-range, high-payload SOF mobility operations in contested environments. The CCM has NSW’s best Iron Triangle: 40 knot (kt) speed; 4 crew + 19 passengers (pax)/10,000 pound (lb) payload; and 600 nautical miles (nm) range. The CCM payload capacity enables inclusion of shock mitigating seats, which is critical for ride quality, operator tactical readiness, and operator health. At 60 feet long, CCM is C-17/C-5 transportable and can launch/recover by well deck or shore based trailer.
