Combatant Craft Replacement

Abstract

Combatant Craft Replacements will provide second generation Riverine Multi Mission Craft that will replace in-service Riverine Patrol Boats (RPBs) and Riverine Assault Boats (RABs). Combatant Craft replacements will: conduct inland waterway patrol and interdiction to preserve the rivers for friendly use as lines of communications; deny the use of rivers and waterways to waterborne and immediate shore sited hostile forces by barrier and interdiction operations; and, with augmentation of ground and air forces, locate and destroy hostile forces within a riparian area. Specific mission and capabilities will be identified in an NECC developed/OPNAV N95 approved Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). RDT&E funding will fund feasibility studies and procurement of mock-ups and prototype craft to demonstrate capabilities prior to production craft procurement.
