Feasibility Study of Helicopter-Towed Air Custion Logistic Vehicles

Abstract

A feasibility study of a helicopter-towed air cushion logistic vehicle (ACLV) was performed. The scope of the study encompassed movement of loaded LASH system lighters on unmanned air-cushion platforms from an off-shore ship onto a sand beach in support of amphibious assault operations. Motive power is to be provided by towing with RH-53 helicopter. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.
