Load Handling System (LHS) - Compatible Water Tankrack System (HIPPO)
Abstract
Load Handling System (LHS) - Compatible Water Tank Rack System (HIPPO) replaces the Forward Area Water Point Supply system (FAWPSS) and Semi-Trailer Mounted Fabric Tank (SMFT). It provides capability to receive, store, transport, and distribute bulk and unit retail water to the warfighter. The HIPPO consists of a 2,000 gallon potable water tank in a 20' ISO frame with integrated pump, engine, alternator, hose reel, freeze prevention, and fill stand. The HIPPO is critical for sustaining the soldier and accomplishing combat service support missions at all echelons. Legacy water distribution systems do not provide the mobility required to achieve unit distribution goals for the current and objective force.
