Agile Port and High Speed Ship Technologies. FY 2008 Final Program Plan

Abstract

The Final Program Plan summarizes an 18 month stand-alone program under Contract Agreement N00014-09-C-0923 between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the California State University, Long Beach Foundation on behalf of the Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies (CCDoTT). The Plan provides and outline of the projects being conducted. Recent emphasis placed on technology transition has resulted in improved alignment of our program with Future Naval Concepts requirements, through increased two-way communication with the Navy, DoD and commercial decision makers, and increased communication with the stakeholders that hold the best promise of becoming end users of our projects. This approach was very effective and has resulted in the series of high level interest Naval and dual use commercial/Naval projects that comprise this FY08 program. The program is based on priority projects requested by N-42, Strategic Sealift, that are time sensitive requirements relating to the evaluation of the "Sea Train" systems concept and the supporting projects related to Sea Train; American Marine Highway (AMH), High Speed Ship design tools and dual use of AMH ships for use as Ready Reserve Force (RRF) ships. It includes CCDoTT program support and a priority project supporting a technology demonstration related to logistical asset visibility. Marine Highway/Short Sea Shipping projects initially focused on commercial shipping requirements relating to highway congestion and pollution. However, by making the specialized shipping dual use, rapid deployment requirements can be supported with a significant benefit of supporting the American shipbuilding industry. The merging of military and commercial is most clearly demonstrated in this FY08 Final Program Plan.
