Research abstract
Current Army soft shelters use fabric or plywood floors. Fabric floors easily rip or wear through. Plywood is heavy, splinters, is not easily cleaned and is a one-time use item. Additionally, current flooring systems do not compensate for uneven terrain. Commercial flooring systems take up too much packing volume, weigh more and take too long to install. Phase I of the project will focus on developing a cost-effective, lightweight, terrain compensating, rapidly deployable and low packing volume flooring system. A system approach will be taken. Existing technologies, methods and issues will be reviewed. Key performance criteria will be generated and ranked. Commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware and technologies will be reviewed, and new concepts generated. Trade off studies will be conducted. Several viable concepts will be generated for further analysis and development during Phase II.
