The panel in the back is for launching and recovering boats. The side door is to provide a second launch and recovery point for boats. It also facilitates UNREP, although I can't help but wonder how constrained they are by sea state.
I think RO/RO is unique to the General Dynamics version. Even though they don't really market it AS a JHSV alternative, they threw enough amphib-like features on it to get people wondering about what kinds of creative things they might be able to pull off with it. |
Yes, see my posts above, I was referring to the General Dynamics competitor.
