Amphibious Warfare Support

The United States Navy and United States Marine Corps are developing ships, systems, and processes that will support the country's amphibious warfare needs well into the 21st century. By extending amphibious warfare flexibility and mobility, these initiatives will enhance the capabilities of our armed forces in the areas of exploitation, engagement selection, force concentration, and arms support.

DoD initiatives include:

• Constructing new ships and upgrading existing ones
• Improving personnel and equipment interfaces with amphibious ships
• Improving over-the-horizon (OTH) assault capability during amphibious operations
• Improving ability to meet operational requirements for amphibious assaults
• Improving Commander Amphibious Task Force capability to identify, track, communicate with, and control naval surface ships and craft during OTH amphibious assaults

ARINC is helping the DoD in these and other amphibious warfare efforts by providing responsive, high-quality, full-spectrum support—everything from design and development, through integration, test, and logistics.

Our services include:

• System development and prototyping
• Fleet support and life-cycle management
• Sea operations support
• Susceptibility testing
• Training
• Sea-trial deficiency tracking of new and converted ships during contract trials, acceptance trials, and amphibious shipbuilder's trials
• Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) support
• Landing craft air cushion alternative mission (mine countermeasures) and instrumentation support
• Amphibious assault direction
• Amphibious warfare trial deficiency management
