U.S. Marines' Prototype Tank/Paddleboat Hybrid: Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector



The Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector makes its way toward the USS Rushmore to pick up heavy logistics gear and ITV to support operations on Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, during the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab's Advanced Warfare Experiment, July 11, 2014. The UHAC is one of those experimental technologies that displays a possible capability of being able to insert Marines in areas where current technology wouldn't be able to insert them based on current systems that are fielded. The UHAC prototype is a ship-to-shore connector and is half the size of the intended machine. Currently, the UHAC travels at four knots using a track system with floatation-like pads that propels itself through different terrain. Courtesy Video | Marine Corps Futures Directorate.
