Nihon University contribution overview:

Military sealift of Japan, the United States, and other like-minded countries in East Asia is facing challenges posed by layered anti-ship threats. At the same time, many of the remote islands in this region have few large ports and some are surrounded by coral reefs, so there are many restrictions on military sealift. In order to respond to these challenges, it will be necessary to procure a lot of small and fast landing crafts with heavy payload, shallow draft, and flexible landing capability.
