Combatant Craft Replacement

Abstract

The FY2019 funding request was reduced by $0.633 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Navy Expeditionary Combat patrol boat, Fleet Expeditionary Security combatant craft, Underwater Construction Team (UCT) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) replacements will provide second generation Multi Mission Craft that will replace in-service Force Protection Large, Force Protection Small, Riverine Patrol Boats (RPBs), Riverine Assault Boats (RABs), Underwater Construction and EOD craft. Boat and craft replacements will: conduct Maritime Security Operations across the full spectrum of naval, joint, and combined operations enabling access and freedom of action throughout the sea-to-shore and inland operating environments as well as conduct maritime Mine Countermeasures (MCM), counter Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and all other types of weaponry, for protection of naval and joint assets required for sea control and power projection. Specific mission and capabilities will be identified in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Capabilities Production Document (CPD) and required milestone documentation. RDT&E funding will fund procurement and material solution studies, advanced technology development and studies, design development and test and evaluation.
