Pre-Positioned Expeditionary Assistance Kit (PEAK)
Abstract
PEAK is a modular system that provides potable water, information sharing, communications, and electrical power generation to first responders in the period immediately following a disaster event. The system enables regional Combatant Commanders to better provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and quickly respond to a myriad of crisis situations around the globe. In addition to supporting U.S. military commanders, PEAK can support the disaster assistance needs of agencies, international relief organizations, partner nations, and non-Governmental organizations. The outputs and efficiencies demonstrated are: a water purification system tested and certified to provide safe drinking water from either salt water or fresh water sources; an operationally demonstrated capability for solar powered communication system for emergency responders; and operational concepts of employment demonstrated with partner nations and non-Governmental partners.
