This can be accomplished in a number of ways, including the employment of propulsors like engines and lift fans. The market is driven by growing applications of hovercraft in the commercial and military sector and growing adoption for recreational purposes. In recent years, the US Navy has stated interest in newer generation hovercraft and has placed an order with Textron. The US Navy has granted Textron a contract costing USD 386 million to manufacture an extra 15 hovercrafts. The contract was granted as part of the Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC) Program, also known as the LCAC 100 class, which is replacing a fleet of landing Craft Air Cushions (LCAC) vehicles that are approaching the end of their 30-year service life.
