SEA BASE MOBILITY AND INTERFACES
Abstract
This activity includes support for Sea Base Mobility and Interfaces and Force Closure. This activity improves the capability for transfer of cargo between Sea Base/Logistics vessels and employment of combat ready forces over unimproved beaches during high sea states. Capabilities being developed include propulsion technologies, maneuvering technologies, and advanced hull systems technologies needed for sustained operations at high speed in high sea states. This activity further supports the Seabasing mission of transporting troops, equipment, and materials from the seabase to shore, and providing support to seaborne forces via surface distribution interfaces. FY 2010 and FY 2011 funding reduction is due to the completion of FNC BAS-FY06-01, Sea Base Mobility and Interfaces - Specific products are High Rate Vertical/Horizontal Material Movement and Small to Large Vessel At-Sea Transfer Sea Base Connecter. FNC EPE-FY07-02, MPF (F) Force, Closure is nearing completion - Specific product is 38 MW Axial-Flow Waterjet. The reduction between FY 2011 and FY 2012 is due to FNC EPE-FY07-02, MPF (F) Force, Closure nearing completion and final testing for the 38 MW Axial-Flow Waterjet.
