Research abstract
A movable articulated crane (MAC) system is proposed that can be used to retrieve palletized cargo from the deck of a dynamically positioned offshore supply vessel and deposit it on an elevator or side platform of any large deck ship. The MAC system will have the following features - 1) omni-directional mobile chassis, 2) the ability tolock itself to the deck, 3) an articulating knuckle boom crane, 4) load motion and tracking sensors, and 5) intergated control system.BENEFITS: Facilitates the use of readily available offshore supply vessels for on-demand, resupply of combatant vessels.
