Abstract
The U.S. Navy has initiated a program which will define the sizes and configurations of air cushion craft for application to amphibious operations in an effort to provide more cost-effective movement of equipment and material from ship to shore and to provide greater flexibility in operations. The program approach and some of the problems anticipated in applying the ACV to this role are discussed.
