This report describes the 2015 Navy Sea base, operating within the interim heavy airlift (iHL) concept first proposed in NSWCDD/TR 06/52. The iHL concept proposes that existing aircraft 'snatch pickup' a logistics glider from a Sea base helipad, flight deck, or nearby littoral water surface for aerial sustainment of the tactically maneuvering expeditionary warfighter. This report proposes the methods and also models Sea base performance in processing logistics gliders.
