Meet the LCS module handling system.




Absolutely Awesome!  Thanks CT for the info!

Hey all.  We've been talking about the LCS a bit more especially in light of CDR Salamander's recent article (he has another one up on USNI Blog).

One of the issues that I had was how are they going to move these modules around.  CT got me the answer and now you do too.

Its the MOBICON SYSTEM.

Go here to get the details on it.

Very interesting.  If.  IF the Navy is able to standardize this in a big way, meaning fleet wide then we might be seeing a mini revolution in logistics.  I'm still not sold on the LCS as a war fighter or humanitarian vessel but it might become a test bed for future capabilities.

And maybe that's where its real value lies.
