The Modular Elevated Causeway System, ELCAS(M) is used during Amphibious Operations to transfer vehicles, materials and containerized cargo from deep draft ships moored offshore (see Figure 1). The cargo is transported on the ELCAS(M) to an unimproved beach staging area for dissemination to the field. Rapid erection of the ELCAS(M) is essential to delivering vital supplies and armaments for the fighting effort. During the assembly of the elevated causeway, steel ...
An advanced prototype mass human delousing spray gun was developed from evaluation of current system, pediculicide flow property testing, and volumetric metering device design and testing. The prototype gun meters 2.7 grams consistently. Exhibits no leakage or jamming; and reduces operator fatigue due to trigger actuation by an order of magnitude. The prototype gun can be completely disassembled for maintenance and O-ring seal replacement. Recommendations for the production gun configuration ...
