1. Combatant Craft Assault (CCA) Marker - New Marker
The Combatant Craft Assault (CCA) is a fast boat operated by Naval Special Warfare Group 4 Special Boat Teams; SBT 12 & SBT 20.
The CCAs primary role is medium range maritime interdiction operations (MIO) in medium-to-high threat environments. It can also perform insertion / extraction of special forces (SOF) and coastal patrol operations.
The CCA achieved initial operational capability (IOC) in late 2015.
The CCAs mono-hulls design includes components made from SPRINT composite materials, resulting in a lightweight but durable craft. The boat is powered by high performance diesel engines. It features an open top design with a windshield / shroud around the crew compartment. The Craft appears to have fold-up armor plating for protection of crew / passengers.
Equipment
Sensors aboard the CCA include a maritime radar mounted on a mast along with communications antennae and a Combatant Craft Forward Looking Infrared (CCFLIR), which includes infrared and day low light video cameras and a laser range finder and pointer. There are plans to develop a Surface Phased Array (SSPA) radar for use by the CCA, CCM and CCH fleets. This will be able to detect and track targets on the water and in the air. The SSPA is low observable (LO), with a low probability of detection
