Excerpt
Excerpt: Contract Specifications. The concept of an Air-Transportable Expeditionary Crane (ATEC) must satisfy a few important mission requirements. That is, it must be transported via helicopter to an unimproved expeditionary site. It must be deployed quickly with a minimum of personnel. It must be able to acquire and mobilize 23 t (25 ton) ISO containers across rough terrain. It should be able to stack containers two high. And lastly, it should perform a number of tasks associated with constructing a landing strip for cargo aircraft in an expeditionary environment. In order to accomplish these rigorous goals, a successful ATEC design must balance structural ruggedness against weight, overall size against transportability and cargo stability against dexterity.
