The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a class of air-cushion vehicle (hovercraft) used as landing craft by the United States Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel of the assault elements of the Marine Air/Ground Task Force both from ship to shore and across the beach.

Battlefield 2Edit

The LCAC was a cut vehicle for Battlefield 2. It most likely would have been used by the USMC on maps where the USS Essex (LHD-2) appeared, as a way to transport land vehicles from the Essex to the shoreline. It probably would have functioned like a larger version of the LCVP and Daihatsu of Battlefield 1942.

Battlefield 3 Edit

The LCAC Hovercraft only make an appearance after the first set of bases on Kharg Island in Rush and Conquest, and function as the spawn points for USMC ground vehicles: the M1 Abrams, HMMWVs and Growler ITVs. They are spotted to the right of the carrier before the first base is neutralized. It cannot be driven by the player.

The LCAC also appears in the Armored Kill Expansion, on the map Rush variant of Bandar Desert. It carries two M1128 Tank Destroyers.
