An innovative product from the UK that the USMC/USN should take a look at....

Thanks to THINK DEFENCE for the link!



I keep thinking about the "long range" mission sets that the Marine Corps is talking about in the future.

I keep worrying that if an enemy has a missile complex advanced enough to threaten our amphibious ships then they'll have a complex advanced enough to threaten our rotary aviation.

I keep thinking that we're gonna need to get small units ashore from further out than we do currently and a single point of failure (aviation) shouldn't be a show stopper.

We could use tech like this to launch small units from far away (two hundred miles) and have them arrive at the beach ready to go instead of beat up, cold and wet as they would be today in our current rigs.
