Air Cushion Vehicle Operator Training System (ACVOTS). Task Listing for LCAC Operator. Volume 1.

摘要

The Air Cushion Vehicle Operator Training System (ACVOTS) program is planned to identify and fully define, test, evaluate and document Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) operator training devices and systems. Two advanced development ACVs, designated JEFF(A) and JEFF(B), are currently being tested under the Navy's Amphibious Assault Landing Craft (AALC) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program. These craft were designed and built to develop the technology and assess the feasibility and military utility of employing ACVs in amphibious assault. The follow-on design and procurement of the production craft are being accomplished under the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) acquisition program. The LCAC craft are intended to be operated by an all enlisted crew. Follow-on Navy-run training for the LCAC is projected to begin in 1986. (sdw)
