Abstract

This report summarizes a study of several towed cargo barge systems. Cargo movement performance is determined for systems containing displacement, planing hull, hydrofoil and air cushion barges towed by displacement craft, air cushion craft or helicopters. The utility of these towed systems is assessed in amphibious and replenishment operations. (Author)
