What are the time and cost savings of using the FPU System?
• The FPU’s 56% average reduction in container footprint means more efficient troop time in logistics operations. The FPU’s modularity allows for significantly less containers, time packing, unpacking and re-packing of those containers with less handling of material. This equates to reduced strain on strategic lift and prive mover/trailers requirements. Reduces fuel, tires, driver crews, maintenance for prime movers/trailers. Smaller footprint reduces soldier vulnerability during convoy operations. No blocking and bracing requirements means reduced lost hours due to packaging and handling of material. • One of the greatest challenges to any deploying force is time. Soldiers must ensure they have the required equipment and supplies to complete the unit s mission. The FPU System allows the soldiers rapid access to maintenance tools and supplies during the duty day while allowing maintenance and supply units to stay uploaded and prepared for deployment operations.
