23. Amphibious Capability & Sustainment Kevin Manie – Project Director

24. 24 DESCRIPTION The ADF is seeking to markedly improve the Amphibious Deployment and Sustainment Capability (ADASC) through Project JP 2048. The Project will deliver new Watercraft under Phase 3 that will integrate with the ship platform chosen in Phase 4A/4B for the two large amphibious ships It considers only existing Amphibious Ship designs, which are currently either built or under contract for construction. Two designs have been chosen; the French Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) MISTRAL class by Armaris (DCN/Thales) and the Spanish BPE LHD from Navantia ( previously known as Izar). The delivery date for the first was originally mandated as 2010
