DARPA Developing Wing-in-Ground Effect Cargo Seaplane

Made me think of this https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a33808381... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan

Reminds me of USSR's "экраноплан" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_vehicle). Wonder if it will be able overcome the challenges inherent to the setup.
