Port Improvement via Exigent Repair (PIER)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. PIER supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on logistics modernization and the need for resilient and agile logistics. PIER will deliver a dynamic, agile, cost effective (non-military construction) expeditionary engineering solution to rapidly repair damaged or degraded ports to a minimum level of serviceability after an attack or natural disaster. Agility is achieved through a smaller footprint, commercial off-the-shelf components, and quick reaction of theater-based repair assets (e.g., pre-packaged, pre-positioned). In FY 2019, PIER conducted an operational demonstration on the Pier Over-Decking Structure (PODS) and a final comprehensive military utility assessment of technologies in cooperation with U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army. Components transitioned to USTRANSCOM, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army. JCTD completed in FY 2019.
