  • THE T-CRAFT PROGRAM – MERGING TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND SHIP DESIGN

    FAST 2011

    The design requirements for the T-Craft require an open
    ocean transit capability of a minimum of 2,500 nm., sprint
    speeds in excess of 40 knots, ability to transfer cargo from
    another ship at sea, and be able to transform to amphibious
    mode to transit shallow water and deliver the cargo dry to
    the beach.
    The proposed solution is a Surface Effect Ship (SES) that
    converts to a full Air Cushioned Vehicle (ACV). This
    solution also identified new technology areas…

    The design requirements for the T-Craft require an open
    ocean transit capability of a minimum of 2,500 nm., sprint
    speeds in excess of 40 knots, ability to transfer cargo from
    another ship at sea, and be able to transform to amphibious
    mode to transit shallow water and deliver the cargo dry to
    the beach.
    The proposed solution is a Surface Effect Ship (SES) that
    converts to a full Air Cushioned Vehicle (ACV). This
    solution also identified new technology areas necessary for
    this vessel. To develop the solutions in these technology
    areas, parameters and data from the craft design was
    required. However, the impacts of these technology areas
    were significant design drivers. This meant that a concurrent
    and integrated approach to the craft design and the
    technology development was required.
    For Phase I a multi-cycle effort was implemented where the
    design and technology development efforts were executed
    concurrently. The two efforts were executed separately with
    predefined information exchanges to update each effort with
    the results of the other. Phase II changed from the
    concurrent approach. The first half of Phase II was solely
    focused on the technology development effort. No design
    work on the vessel was performed during this time. Once
    the technology development was complete the design effort
    was restarted and the technology solutions integrated into
    the design producing a complete Contract Design.
