Lightweight Modular Causeway System
Disclaimer:
The Lightweight Modular Causeway System (LMCS) is a major element of the Joint Enabled Theater Access Sea Port of Debarkation (JETA SPOD) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration. The LMCS was conceived to be lighter, faster and easier to assemble, and require less manpower than existing Army causeway systems. As a modular system, it is intended to deploy with DoD's new Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) and provide a Vessel-to-Shore bridging solution in austere locations. It has also proven effective as a Wet Gap Crossing solution in a variety of applications from mud flats and tidal estuaries to moving waterways.
