Amphibious Warfare
Support
The United States Navy and United States Marine Corps are developing
ships, systems, and processes that will support the country's amphibious
warfare needs well into the 21st century. By extending amphibious warfare
flexibility and mobility, these initiatives will enhance the capabilities
of our armed forces in the areas of exploitation, engagement selection,
force concentration, and arms support.
DoD initiatives include:
- Constructing new ships and upgrading existing ones
- Improving personnel and equipment interfaces with amphibious ships
- Improving over-the-horizon (OTH) assault capability during amphibious
operations
- Improving ability to meet operational requirements for amphibious
assaults
- Improving Commander Amphibious Task Force capability to identify,
track, communicate with, and control naval surface ships and craft
during OTH amphibious assaults
ARINC is helping the DoD in these and other amphibious warfare efforts
by providing responsive, high-quality, full-spectrum support—everything
from design and development, through integration, test, and logistics.
Our services include:
- System development and prototyping
- Fleet support and life-cycle management
- Sea operations support
- Susceptibility testing
- Training
- Sea-trial deficiency tracking of new and converted ships during
contract trials, acceptance trials, and amphibious shipbuilder's
trials
- Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) support
- Landing craft air cushion alternative mission (mine countermeasures)
and instrumentation support
- Amphibious assault direction
- Amphibious warfare trial deficiency management
