Abstract

Landing Craft Unit (LCU) is a specialized craft used to transport battle tanks, military vehicles and troops from a principal platform at sea to shore. There has been an increasing emphasis on shallow water operations in last decade. The capabilities of available LCUs limit the tactics of an amphibious operation. This study is focused on a newly proposed concept of High Speed Landing Craft Unit based on Royal Navy's Innovative Solution Demonstrator Craft (ISDC), named Partial Air Cushion Supported Catamaran (PACSCAT). The study explores the capabilities of this new concept based craft.
