UHAC stands for ”Ultra Heavy Lift Amphibious Connector”. Actually this is a half prototype vehicle developed by office of Naval Research.Basically this vehicle used to transport a heavy machinery through difficult areas such as water, rocky paths etc.
These are the some specifications and values of full scale UHAC armed vehicle.
| Length | 84 feet (26 meters) |
| Height | 34 feet (10 meters) |
| Payload Capacity | 150 to 190 tons (enough for three M1 Abrams tanks) |
| Potential Armament | The production model was expected to have armor plating and a .50-caliber machine gun for self-defense. |
UHAC also transport heavy vehicles like tanks,APC,Boats & other heavy lift vehicles.This Giant Vehicle is used to transport latest armed vehicles like M1 from ships to shores from challenging terrain.The UHAC is primarily aimed at potentially replacing the Landing Craft Air Cushion hovercraft, but it could also supplement it and replace the Landing Craft Utility. The UHAC would be faster on water than the AAV and could even transport them to get closer to shore or carry up to three M1 Abrams tanks.
