The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals for the topic "Austere Cargo Offload and Onload System" as part of the SBIR 23.3 BAA. The objective of this research is to develop a system that can offload and onload cargo pallets from aircraft in austere and standard environments. The current technology designed for local infrastructure does not work well in austere environments, which include non-paved surfaces, rolling terrain, and limited access to material handling equipment and energy sources. The system should be capable of working with the 463L Pallet Cargo Handling System on C-130s and C-17s. The maximum size of the system should be limited to a single standard 463L pallet position. The project will have a Phase I-type effort, where a concept for a workable prototype or design should be developed. In Phase II, a new method or system will be developed and demonstrated, including handling a 10,000 lbs ISU 90 standard container, transporting it 500 ft away from the flightline, and functioning in an austere environment. The system should be deployable with the inbound cargo aircraft, weigh less than 10,000 pounds, and be ready to offload or onload cargo within 10 minutes of the plane coming to a stop. The Phase III applications include transition to airfield operations, cargo delivery, and potential use in commercial air cargo operations, warehouse material handling operations, and construction. The project is restricted under ITAR or EAR regulations. The solicitation is closed, and more information can be found on the DoD SBIR website.
