The WAVESTRIDER concept was proposed by Ketron, Inc. as an over-the-horizon transporter of Marine Corps' tracked amphibian vehicles. DTRC was requested to assess the validity of the WAVESTRIDER technology, the maturity of the WAVESTRIDER design process and the compatibility of the WAVESTRIDER concept with amphibious assault assets and practices. From analyses, model tests, and at-sea trials, the conclusion of the Navy's evaluation is that the WAVESTRIDER concept is basically flawed. Keywords: Transport ships; Hydrofoils/Planing hulls.
