Hovercraft exhibit a number of characteristics which are attractive for mine countermeasure (MCM) operations. Considerable experience has been gained through trials and studies to identify and quantify the important parameters. As part of the studies, a survey of current and potential hovercraft designs was made to determine the characteristics of a craft needed for the role. The SRN 4 was identified as the design with the greatest potential and most studies have been directed towards using a craft of this size. However for the support of MCM forces and in some MCM associated roles, smaller hovercraft also offer potential advantages over more conventional vehicles. (Wassmann)
