Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Crash Cranes (CV/AACC) are required to remove damaged aircraft from the flight deck. Legacy crash cranes were designed in the late 1980's, major systems are beginning to experience the obsolescence of spare parts and are in need of updating. R&D resources are needed to identify not only replacements, but new technologies, which can increase the reliability and maintainability of this flight ops critical piece of equipment. Systems updates would include the engine/generator and electrical updates to the motor drive/control system. An exploration of power sources other than diesel engines would be considered and a corrosion resistant boom.
