Amphibious Cargo Handling Aboard Ship in a Selective Unloading Environment

Abstract

The report summarizes a study of a cargo management system dealing with the identification, location and control of cargo in amphibious operations in a selective unloading environment. Current cargo management techniques are reviewed, and advanced cargo management techniques at the ship and task force level are discussed. Because no firm doctrine exists for selective unloading operations, a hypothetical cargo management system is used as a framework for the analysis. This system is described in detail, and data processing considerations in such a system are discussed.
