Tactically Expandable Maritime Platform (TEMP)
Abstract
The Tactically Expandable Maritime Platform (TEMP) concept, an outgrowth of the ACTUV program, seeks to develop and demonstrate macroscopic integrated systems built up from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) modular technologies that can be operated from unmodified commercial container ships and deliver credible naval capability for high priority missions. TEMP will develop critical enabling modular technologies and evaluate the feasible range of naval missions that can be serviced from this highly flexible and cost effective unconventional force structure model. An initial mission to be explored will be the modular sea depot concept to enable a remote unmonitored refueling capability for small craft; enabling independent operation from host ships. TEMP will also evaluate a Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR) mission, engineering a modular first responder capability that allows the rapid force closure capability of TEMP to deliver immediate lifesaving operations in the hours and days following a disaster event, prior to the time that conventional platforms and organizations are able to respond.
