Trailer Mounting of the Forward Area Refueling Equipment Two-Point Dispensing Equipment.

Abstract

The report covers the design and development of a trailer-mounted two-point, fuel-dispensing system designed primarily for refueling helicopters. The task was undertaken in response to a request from Modern Army Selected Systems Test Evaluation and Review (Project MASSTER) Fort Hood, Texas. The requirement was for preassembled, trailer-mounted, air transportable refueling equipment to be evaluated for inclusion in a new concept of logistical support operations, performed behind the battle lines, to improve the combat effectiveness of attack helicopters. The concept is directed toward operating a highly mobile Forward Area Refueling/Rearming Point.
