Navy

The U.S. Navy has accepted delivery of Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) 114, the latest Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) from Textron Systems, following successful Acceptance Trials. This next-generation air cushion vehicle enhances the Navy’s amphibious capabilities by providing rapid, over-the-beach transport of heavy payloads — ranging from 60 to 75 tons — including personnel, equipment, and weapon systems. Maintaining compatibility with legacy LCACs and existing well deck-equipped vessels, LCAC 114 marks a significant step forward in modernizing the Navy’s Fleet for operational demands.
