The Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC) is a system proposed by the US Navy as a replacement for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC).

It will offer increased capacity, to cope with the growing weight of equipment used by the Army and Marines. As of 2015, the program is forecast to cost a total of US$4.054B for 73 hovercraft.

Ship-to-Shore Connector Design


Though the design is similar to the LCAC, there will be several significant differences:

2 person fly-by-wire cockpit with joystick controls
More powerful, more efficient engines
Extensive use of composites and aluminum for corrosion resistance
Advanced skirt instead of a deep skirt for less drag and reduced craft weight

The four MT7 gas turbines that will be used to power each Ship-to-Shore Connector are a derived design of the Rolls-Royce T406 used in the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey.

The cores of 2 engines types are identical, which should provide some relief in spare parts storage to those ships that will operate both the aircraft and the hovercraft.

Top speed will be 50 kn (58 mph; 93 km/h). A simpler and more efficient drive train using one gearbox is on each side for less parts and maintenance and higher reliability.

The SSC has a designed lifetime of 30 years.

The 10th SSC to be delivered will have the capability to launch vehicles into the water rather than need to go all the way to the beach, after which that ability is retrofitted to the previous 9 vessels.
