CCA Capabilities: 40 kt speed; 5 crew + 10 pax/5,000 lb payload; and 300 nm range. At 41 feet long, the CCA is air transportable by C-130/C-17/C-5 and can launch/recover by crane, well deck, or shore-based trailer. The CCA program adheres to the objectives of the 2022 NDS by accelerating its advantageous technology to the operating forces and enhances maritime security through patrols and surveillance missions; its speed and agility combined with mobility enables rapid response and supports distributed Maritime operations.
