Mobile Offshore Base Operational Utility and Cost Study

Abstract

This paper documents the background, approach, analyses, and findings of the Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) Operational Utility and Cost Study conducted for the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts. This study responds to the portion of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 that directs the Secretary of Defense to provide an analysis of the operational utility and life cycle costs of the MOB. The assessment addresses power projection, missile defense, and logistics missions for the MOB circa 2020, with an emphasis on force deployment and logistics. Several alternative design concepts are identified and costed.
