When the US Armed Forces deploy to a remote location, the logistics for stationing them there for extended periods is complex, expensive, and timely. The Department of Defense currently uses tents for short-term deployments, builds “brick and mortar” structures for permanent deployments, and ships in trailers for long-term temporary deployments.
– These trailers are the subject of replacement.
– At an average cost of $16K per unit, plus the cost of shipping them across the globe, setting them up, and shipping them back upon completion of the mission, makes these an undesirable solution.
– Trailers take up 1450 cubic feet each in shipment, and cannot be easily stacked. They must then be transported by truck at no more than two units per load.
– Setup time once they arrive on site averages 8 man-hours per unit.
– Setup includes blocking (setting concrete blocks), jacking, connecting electrical supply, and setting concrete blast barriers around the units.

The true in-situ flexibility of the SimpleQ system is in the way panels and floors are interlocked using either the ultralight ABS extrusions or the more rugged aluminum extrusions.
