Description

Mission — SSC Construction

This project funds the Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) Engineering & Manufacturing Development phase which includes Detail Design and Construction, Product Support, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), Program support, and Outfitting and Post Delivery. The lead craft will be maintained as a test and training platform throughout its life cycle. The SSC program provides the capability to rapidly move assault forces within the littoral operational environment to accomplish Unified Command Plan (UCP) missions and ensures the Joint Force Commander's (JFCDR's) ability to conduct amphibious operations and operate over the high water mark, including movement over ice, mud, rivers, swamps and marshes. SSC provides the functional replacement for the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Class of ships, which began reaching extended service life in 2015. Funding for this effort was previously executed under PE 0604567N.

Mission — Ship to Shore Connectors Contract Design

Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) - This project provides the Preliminary and Contract design and Class test efforts for the SSC Program. The SSC program provides the capability to rapidly move assault forces within the littoral operational environment to accomplish Unified Command Plan (UCP) missions and ensures the Joint Force Commander's (JFCDR's) ability to conduct amphibious operations and operate over the high water mark, including movement over ice, mud, rivers, swamps and marshes. SSC provides the functional replacement for the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Class of ships, which began reaching extended service life in 2015. For FY 2015 and beyond, this project will provide for Class Test and Evaluation of components and systems, as well as all programmatic effort and support activities necessary for the development and execution of Class Test and Evaluation (T&E) plans and programs.

Mission — Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC)

The Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) program provides the capability to rapidly move assault forces within the littoral operational environment to accomplish Unified Command Plan (UCP) missions and ensures the Joint Force Commander's (JFCDR's) ability to conduct amphibious operations and operate over the high water mark, including movement over ice, mud, rivers, swamps and marshes. SSC provides the functional replacement for the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Class of ships, which began reaching extended service life in 2015. This PE directly funds and supports the detail design, development, construction, issue resolution, certification, integration and testing of the Ship to Shore Connector (SSC). The lead craft (Craft 100) will be maintained as a test and training platform throughout its life cycle. Note: This effort was previously funded under PE 0604567N under projects 3133 and 3137 (FY 2014 and prior).
