Materials Handling Equipment
Abstract
This program element supports component development and Material Handling Equipment (MHE) prototyping and stays abreast of emerging and available technologies to be integrated into military MHE to address identified capability gaps and warfighter objectives. This project enables the development of selected technologies and transition to system integration and development or production of MHE products. MHE includes Rough Terrain Forklifts, Rough Terrain Container Handlers (RTCH) and Cranes, as well as ancillary MHE equipment, to support distribution of critical supplies in the theater of operations. FY16 funding will allow innovative research with the goal to improve fuel efficiency, operational energies, machine diagnostics and to enhance operation of MHE equipment.
