Description
Technology Associates, Inc. (TAI) proposal is for development of a TAI modular boat ramp concept (TAI-MBR) for Launch and Recovery (L&R) of watercraft from the Joint High Speed Vessel's (JHSV) stern. The TAI-MBR will rapidly L&R various manned and unmanned watercraft in less than 15 minutes and in sea state 3 (SS3) with wave heights of 3 to 5 ft. It will not rely on the use of the cargo crane for L&R, and will allow the crew to remain onboard the watercraft during the L&R process. It is based on proven methods used in the offshore industry. The maturation of this concept has wide military and commercial application.
