Modular Aircraft Support System (MASS) Proof-of-Concept Demonstrator Field Demonstration

Abstract

The Modular Aircraft Support System (MASS) program is part of an effort to reduce the deployment footprint and increase the supportability of aerospace ground equipment (AGE). The MASS program was initiated by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The contract directed Arthur D Little, Inc (ADL) to develop and evaluate concepts, and design, fabricate and test five MASS modules (and a chassis) in order to demonstrate the key features of the MASS design. The MASS Cart met all performance requirements during laboratory testing at ADL. The MASS program concluded with the successful demonstration of the MASS Cart at Edwards AFB, CA, using actual aircraft (F-15, F-16, B-52). This report, the Final Report for the field demonstration (Delivery Order 0012), also summarizes the other Delivery Orders involving the MASS cart.
