  1. Joint Maritime Assault Connector (JMAC) • Capabilities • High Speed, Over-The-Beach, Ship-To-Shore Amphibious Capability to Lift All Equipment Organic to the Ground Elements of a Marine Air/Ground Task Force • Ability to Operate independent of tides, water depth, underwater obstacles, in NATO SS 3-4 at 25 nm or less • Designed to address 2 gaps: - Conduct movement - Prepare for movement • Requirements • 2015 timeframe - significant gaps in brigade-sized maneuver concurrent with retirement of the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) and Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) as they reach the end of operational service life • 72 LCAC required to meet 3.0 MEB and required operational capability/ projected operational environment • 72 LCAC required to meet COCOM OPLAN requirement of 60 operational craft • LCAC fleet falls below required 72 LCACin 2014 • Current Status • Standard Conventional 73 Short Ton (SC-73) approved by R3B • Milestone A – April 08 • N81 study in-progress to determine required future fleet size to support amphibious fleet and MPF(F) • CDD development in progress • Materiel Solution • Current LCAC SLEP to be replaced by Standard Conventional 73 Short Ton (SC-73) • Evolutionary design improvement over LCAC
