  8. SECDEF Panetta budget revelations 26 Jan 2012 What does this ‘tight budget’ mean for the Navy & NAVSEA? DoD will rebalance the forces toward the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, which results in maintaining the aircraft carrier fleet at eleven CVNs; maintaining the big deck amphibious fleet; forward stationing LCS’ in Singapore & patrol craft in Bahrain; & developing a new afloat forward staging base that can be dedicated to support missions such as counter-mine operations. Also: • More special operations (mostly land and air based, but opportunity sea/coastal/riverine), • More unmanned vehicles (mostly UAV but opportunity in UUV and USV), • More affordability and economy initiatives, • Fund design changes to increase cruise missile capacity for future Virginia-class submarines, • Upgrade radars for tactical aircraft and ships. To achieve these capabilities requires rebalancing resources & slowing pace of building new ships as well as accelerating retirement of some existing ships. • Retire seven AEGIS cruisers early; • Slip a large deck amphibious ship by one year & retire two smaller amphib ships early; • Slip one new Virginia-class submarine outside the FYDP; • Reduce Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) by two ships in the FYDP; and; • Reduce Joint High Speed Vessels (JHSV) by eight in the FYDP. Specific details to be provided by DoD when budget is released, but useful for government/industry entities/employees to understand the magnitude of the changes we face as a Navy.

  9. Opportunities in new budget/strategy Affordability Special Operations (Long Range, Autonomous) Maritime Surface Vehicles Arctic Systems & Solutions (Fast) Amphibious (Trucks)

  10. Amphibious Tractor (Amtrac) LVT-1

  11. "D" indicated a vehicle designed in 1942, "U" meant "utility", "K" indicated front-wheel drive, "W" indicated two powered rear axles. DUKW= 21,000+ built Mostly for USA, but also… 2000 for UK 535 for Australia 586 for USSR >> post- BAV (1952) Designed by Sparkman & Stevens around GMC 6 wheeled truck Gratuitous hydrofoil DUKW

  12. LARC Family… survivor in USN: LARC-V XV=15 ton LX=60 ton V=5 ton

  13. AAAV > Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV)

  14. Circa 2006 Commercial Amphibious Vehicle Developments • Gibbs • Technologies • March • Rinspeed • Others… Dutton

  15. Fast Track Amphibian LLC • Highest Speed on Land (As of March 4th 2007) 65 mph • Highest Speed on Ice (max. speed not tested) 55 mph • Top Speed on Water 39 mph • Fast Track Amphibian LLC. - 1515 Central Park Drive - Hurst, Texas 76053 Phone: 817-268-5032 Fax: 817-282-7573 Email: info@fasttrackamphibian.com High speed transition Water <> Land Rough bank, terrain potential Future USV?

  16. Gibbs Technologies, Inc. Experimental Prototype High Speed Amphibious Truck “Phibian” Gibbs – Lockheed Martin military concepts

  17. What has been; What might be • ASNE Day paper “Amphibious Vehicles in Littoral Logistics and Support Missions” by Jonathan Slutsky, Paul Bode and Michael Bosworth • Potential military roles (high speed versions…other roles for low speed) • Low end starting point for more affordable EFV replacement • Low mix side of Hi-Lo mix of EFV + Fast Logistics Amphibian • Riverine • Special Operations • Recon • Humanitarian • For some, Arctic • Platform for unmanned vehicle systems (likely variable terrain then loiter)

  18. Unmanned (Surface) Vehicle Systems Liquid Robotics MAR WAM-V Proteus DARPA ACTUV concept (ph1 complete ph 2+ in wide competition) Northrop Grumman SAIC QinetiQ Unmanned Ocean Vehicles Solar Sailor

  19. Arctic Capabilities Based Assessment(draft)

  20. Arctic Warming Visibility Efforts

  21. From Surface Combatants in the Arctic:NSWC Carderock Division Feb 2011 Mission Scenarios Heightened Tensions in Arctic • Navy Surface Action Group (SAG) tasked amid heightened tensions amongst Arctic states • Perform maritime security patrols including VBSS, MCM, ASW, and IAMD Emergency Response Support • Increased commercial and recreation traffic increase number of accidents at sea • Navy CRUDES respond to situations calling for: • Disabled submarine on ocean floor • Search and rescue for disabled aircraft or ship • Evacuation of personnel from ship run aground Freedom of Navigation • Navy CRUDES and T-AO asked to transit Arctic passageways • Conduct training and presence operations • UNREP, RAS/FAS • Navigation • Small boat, helicopter operations

  22. Summary • Tightening budget, but, • Niches of growth. • Transition is difficult (Valley of Death), but, • Crucial and do-able. • Several growth areas with AMV potential noted, • Special Operations, Amphibians, Unmanned Surface Vehicle Systems and Arctic. • We seek solutions to naval needs, not just a cool craft.
