Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Operator Suspension Seats (Navy) - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and/or congressional notification
Abstract
Test and field a commercial off-the-shelf marine suspension seat for Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) operators. The purpose of this effort is to lower the risk of lumbar spine injury and long-term disability. This effort will also improve war fighter mission readiness and operator availability on the LCAC in a similar manner as was successfully demonstrated and integrated with the MK-V Special Operations Craft (SOC) program. The marine suspension seat provides operators a safe buffer from the vibrations of the LCAC operational environment. The primary outputs of this project are increased safe operator mission time with respect to human integration standards and a seat model for LCAC 100, the next generation LCAC.
