Description: Funded a number of projects that dealt with the application of transportation technologies to complementary Navy and civilian uses. Agile port efforts took the basic logistic cost estimates and arrangements derived from the FY 2004 effort and examined an alternative magnetic levitation technology to break the log jam between the port and an inland distribution center, or for military use between the depot and the port of embarkation. The fluid dynamic optimization synthesis design models were selectively applied to a number of dual use multi-hull vessel candidate designs. Completed the concept design development of a very high power axial water jet design, tested at model scale in FY 2004. Further technical development efforts on the large trimaran involved computational evaluations of the critical areas of hull form optimization, selected propulsion arrangements, and structural design issues involving regulatory approval.
