This document summarizes the findings and conclusions from the High- Speed Sealift Technology Workshop, held at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), from 21-23 October 1997 and the subsequent post- workshop analysis that was briefed out on 25 March 1998. The workshop was sponsored by the US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) in partnership with the Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies (CCDoTT) and the Maritime Administration (MARAD), the US Navy, and the US Army. This document describes part of a process that has been initiated within the Department of Defense (DoD) and industry to help define the next generation of sealift ships. This document specifically examines the possibilities offered by technology to enhance the transport performance of high-speed commercial and military sealift ships, in advance of detailed design studies, in order to help define realistic future mission capabilities. Technology projections made at the workshop are presented for both the near-term and the far-term, where the near-term and the far-term refer to technology that will be available in 5 years and 10 years, respectively. The impact of technology projections on transport performance properties is assessed quantitatively, and a tool has been developed to enable a user to assess near-term technology qualitatively. These assessments provide insight into the overall transport performance potential of hullforms and other technologies of interest. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
