Evaluation of Three Proposed Recovery Systems for the Amphibious Assault Landing Craft Program.

Abstract

This report presents an evaluation of three proposed recovery systems for emergency stopping of air cushion vehicles during docking within LSD (Landing Ship Dock) craft. The results of a trade-off study indicate that a barricade net, coupled with energy absorbing wire rope is the optimum system for the scheduled amphibious assault craft program demonstration tests, as well as for advanced development.
