Abstract
ABSTRACTThe growing worldwide presence of military small craft has revitalized U.S. Navy interest in combatant craft development. The Naval Special Warfare Craft Program was conceived to establish a capability to design advanced small craft, confident that they will effectively perform military missions for the 1980 time frame. Four generic craft types have been defined; Coastal Patrol Interdiction Craft (CPIC), Coastal Patrol Craft (CPC), Shallow Water Attack, Medium (SWAM), and Shallow Water Attack, Light (SWAL). Developmental Craft will be designed and built and evaluated which address the mission requirements of the latter three generic craft, the first craft, CPIC, having already been built. Program philosophy and approach are discussed and program history reviewed.
