Today’s Agenda Introduction Summary Mission Flexibility Manning/ Habitability Requirements & Design Combat Systems Cargo Damage Control Hull Propulsion 2/12/2022 Electrical High Speed Assault Connector Brief 4

The Request • A conceptual design for a High Speed Assault Connector (HSAC) to enhance Joint Expeditionary Logistics (JELo) flow from the Sea Base to shore • Augment or replace existing connector platforms • Employment requirement – – – 2/12/2022 Cargo: ~8000 LT of vehicles, troops, and gear Distance: 200 nm from the Sea Base to shore Time: 10 hours Sea state: 4 Interface: accept cargo and troops at the Sea Base and deliver to shore High Speed Assault Connector Brief 5

The Design Solution • A system of 12 HSACs that fill all the previous connector requirements • Each HSAC is multi-mission capable, selfsustaining, and: – Can accommodate embarked troops, cargo, and gear from FLS and or/CONUS to the Sea Base – Can transit 2000 nm @20 kts (fully loaded) w/40% fuel remaining – Has defensive and offensive combat capabilities 2/12/2022 High Speed Assault Connector Brief 6

Introduction Summary Mission Flexibility Requirements & Design Manning/ Habitability Combat Systems Cargo Damage Control Hull Propulsion 2/12/2022 Electrical High Speed Assault Connector Brief 7

Initial Requirements • SEA-6 – Transport JEB from the Sea Base to shore – Time limited to a 10 hour period – Interface with Sea Base, developed ports, and austere beaches • TSSE Faculty – Support amphibious operations ashore in addition to delivering payload – Conduct secondary missions – Capable of independent operations 2/12/2022 High Speed Assault Connector Brief 8

Assumptions • HSAC will move entire surface component of JEB – 2 Battalion Landing Teams (BLT) • HSAC fully loaded prior to employment phase • HSAC transit protected by the Sea Shield provided by Sea Base forces • Landing operations will be conducted in reduced threat environments • Boat lanes will be mine free 2/12/2022 High Speed Assault Connector Brief 9

Beachable/Non-Beachable • Considered two delivery methods – Beachable – Non-Beachable (LCAC ferry) • Conducted feasibility study on both 2/12/2022 High Speed Assault Connector Brief 10

Non-Beachable Feasibility • Pros – – Information readily available Few tactical changes required Improves effective LCAC range Proven, beachable, high-speed connector • Cons – – 2/12/2022 Large number of LCACs required LCACs approaching end of service life Inadequate availability/reliability Additional interface in the loop High Speed Assault Connector Brief 11

Beachable Feasibility • Analysis of Newport class LST – 3000 LT payload – 16 ft draft – Bow ramp and stern gate • Pros – Performed similar mission – Large craft can be made beachable – Newer technologies will greatly enhance the capabilities of previously proven designs – Provides a single connector solution • Cons – Structural issues for bow ramp/beaching – Possibly hull form limiting • Beachable design selected 2/12/2022 High Speed Assault Connector Brief 12

Analysis of Alternatives • • Developed 3 Measures of Performance (MOP) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to set the weights – Transport factor – 43% – Survivability – 43% • • • Number of ships – 50% Overall ship length – 30% Speed – 20% – Mission flexibility – 14% • • • 2/12/2022 Payload – 30% Draft – 30% Number of ships – 20% Speed – 20% Overall MOP weighted sum of the individual MOPs High Speed Assault Connector Brief 13
