Combatant Craft Heavy (CCH)

Abstract

CCH provides platoon-size maritime surface mobility. The current CCH is the Sea, Air, Land Insertion, Observation and Neutralization (SEALION) craft. SEALION is a fully-enclosed, climate-controlled, semi-submersible craft that operates in contested environments. SEALION is NSW’s most versatile and survivable combatant craft and the craft-of-choice for sensitive maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. Iron Triangle: 40 kt speed; 7 crew + 12 pax / 3,300 lb payload; and 400 nm range. SEALION payload capacity enables inclusion of shock mitigating seats, which is critical for ride quality, operator tactical readiness, and operator health. At 77+ feet long, SEALION is C-17/C-5 transportable and can launch/recover by well deck, shore based mobile travel lift, or crane.
