Problem:

Current Navy surface connectors have to be carried into theater within the well decks of our Amphibious ships. These Amphibious connectors carry small payloads over small distances and can only operate in low sea states.

Challenges:

• Self deploying over a long distance in high sea state unloaded• Significantly higher payloads (4 to 10 times)• Fully loaded unrefueled range >500nm at 40kts• Cargo Transfer at the Sea Base in high sea states• The ability to traverse sand bars and mud flats • Fully amphibious landing capability

Technical barriers:

• Transition of Propulsion systems from in-water to out-of- water• Variable/retractable skirt geometry• High strength, lightweight, long-wear materials• Active ride control systems• Human system integration• Vehicle transfer at the sea base• Complexity of mechanical drive system• Hybrid electric drive options• Light weight structural materials
