ROBOCRANE - OFFSHORE CARGO HANDLING
NIST Support for HiCASS (High Capacity Alongside Sea
Based Sustainment)
Below are several files to support the HiCASS effort.
For partnering and/or other information, please contact the project
manager, Roger Bostelman at roger.bostelman@nist.gov.
NIST teamed with JJMA in 2001-2002 to develop concepts
for Skin-to-Skin
Replenishment. This paper was published in the ASNE Symposium 2003
"Expeditionary Force Projection" Proceedings.

rigging and control.
This document
encompasses several concepts that NIST Intelligent Systems Division
began to study including:small ship handling at sea, RO/RO ramp handling,
and shipboard welding and well-deck cleaning among other concepts.
