Cargo Packaging, Integration and Logistics
USA's logistics processing includes the receipt, preparation, review and packaging of virtually any hardware designated for transport, deployment or flight. Special assessments can also be performed for any unique logistic situation.

All packing activities are performed in limited access, controlled work areas (temperature/humidity controlled). These areas include the necessary electrostatic discharge equipment to properly handle sensitive electronic hardware, and the equipment to protect personnel whenever irritants or noxious chemicals may be present. Heat sealers and vacuum packaging equipment are used to provide protective overwraps and reduce volume. Prior to packing, all hardware is maintained in controlled, storage-holding areas.

In support of cargo integration activities, we fabricate custom cushions designed to fit specific bags/lockers/trays, which provide vibration damping for storage and transportation. These cushion cutouts allow secure insertion of hardware into protective cells and are fit-checked to ensure that the hardware sits properly and is protected. We perform these operations to specific engineering configuration drawings, and controlled processes allow for any real-time changes to accommodate special configurations. Our employees must complete four progressive levels of training before receiving final packing certification.

USA personnel also have expertise in the sparing and logistics needed for maintaining remote facilities. We develop vehicle traffic models to and from the remote facility using predictive failure analysis, along with actual real-time failures and rates of consumable usage. As a result, spares and materials manifesting is managed to maintain adequate supplies for long-term occupation and operation of complex remote facilities. Additionally, due to the harsh environment and limited volume and space available on the vehicles, we know how to package spares and materials to withstand the transportation environment necessary to reach the remote facility.
