AIR CUSHION VEHICLES FOR ARCTIC OPERATION
ABSTRACT The paper presents the results of the NavSea FY8S Surface Ship CONFORM Design Study for an initial operational capability (IOC) year‐2000 air cushion vehicle (ACV) suitable for logistics and for general search and rescue duties in the Arctic. The study is one of several design studies produ...
