MOS PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: 

MOS PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Operate in High Sea States Operate individually or connected Provide aircraft operations for helicopters & STOL aircraft Runway can be constructed by connecting MOS units end to end Moves at High Speed (40 kts+) Rapid set-up and relocation More stable than a conventional hull drillship

Construction Advantages: 

Construction Advantages MOS ships can be built and serviced in a large number of shipyards. Can be built assembly line style with no special requirements Uses existing facilities Economy of Scale

POTENTIAL MOS APPLICATIONS: 

POTENTIAL MOS APPLICATIONS OFF SHORE OIL DRILLING AIRPORT AT SEA SHIPPING DEPOT AT SEA EMERGENCY RESPONSE/MOBILE MEDICAL FACILITY RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION STATION WATER DESALINATION HIGH RISK MANUFACTURING SPACE LAUNCH PLATFORM DECONTAMINATION FACILITY PRE-PORT CNBR INSPECTION POINT COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATION, TRACKING POST AQUACULTURE

Ship Variants : 

Ship Variants Command Vessel Provides Parking Space and Control Elements Aircraft and Mission Control Runway Vessel Provides Cargo Space and Runway Length or Parking Space Mission Configured Preloaded for Selected Mission Take Only the Capabilities Needed

AT SEA DEPOT: Air and Sea Cargo Transfers: 

AT SEA DEPOT: Air and Sea Cargo Transfers Once a supply chain can be set up, the MOS can be resupplied by air or sea.

Ships Preloading: 

Ships Preloading Pre-loading allows ships to respond faster by reducing port time.
