JOINT HIGH SPEED VESSEL MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) program is a merger of the Army's Theater Support Vessel (TSV) program and the Marine Corps/Navy High Speed intra-theater surface Connector (HSC) program into a joint (multi-service) High Speed Vessel program. The JHSV program takes advantage of inherent commonality hull forms to create a more flexible asset for the Department of Defense and leverage the Navy's core competency in ship acquisition. The JHSV program will provide high speed intra-theater surface connector capability to rapidly deploy troops and equipment together and then immediately transition to execute, even in the absence of developed infrastructure, and conduct deployment and sustainment activities in support of multiple simultaneous, distributed, decentralized battles and campaigns. The primary missions include: support to Theater Security Cooperation Program (TSCP) and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), littoral maneuver, and seabasing support. Department of Army (DA) and Department of Navy (DoN) will maintain separate and distinct funding streams to support this joint program. DA will resource to the critical Army requirement set validated for the joint Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) for High Speed Intra-theater Surface Connector (HSC)and the Capability Development Document (CDD) for JHSV . DA and DoN will focus on the development of common capabilities, each Department will source their unique developmental costs for unique service capabilities that cannot be incorporated into a combined solution set. FY12 funding will allow the Army to develop and design Army-unique Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) and Anti-Terrorist/Force Protection Capabilities in support of the Army JHSV concept of operations.
