This DARPA grant is for developing the Tactical Expandable Maritime Platform (TEMP), investigating modular technologies and macroscopic systems that leverage ubiquitous ISO containers and intermodal transport. The aim is to deliver flexible operational capability from unmodified commercial containerships. Objectives include exploring innovative architectures for integrated systems from 20-foot containers and designing a TEMP Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR) package. This package will encompass modular capabilities such as situational awareness, command and control, and distributed micro-logistics, functioning independently of local infrastructure. The program will also demonstrate the viability of ocean-deployed modular technologies and systems operating independently, exemplified by designing, building, and demonstrating the Modular Sea Depot – a multi-unit maritime logistics node providing near-term operational capability.

| Description: | The Tactically Expandable Maritime Platform (TEMP) program will investigate and develop modular technologies and macroscopic modular systems that leverage ubiquitous International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers and the intermodal transport system to deliver flexible operational capability from unmodified commercial containerships. The program has three primary objectives. The first objective, corresponding to Technical Area One, is to broadly explore the concept of forming macroscopic integrated systems out of twenty-foot containers, identifying innovative architectures, mission applications, approaches, and enabling technologies. The second objective, corresponding to Technical Area Two, is to conduct focused architecture development and preliminary design work on a TEMP humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) package. This package design will encompass modular technologies with the range of capabilities necessary to complete the HA/DR mission, such as situational awareness, command and control, and distributed micro-logistics over broad coastal areas without dependence on local infrastructure. The third TEMP objective, corresponding to Technical Area Three, is to demonstrate the viability of ocean deployed modular technologies and systems operating independently from a host containership. The program will design, build, demonstrate, and transition an exemplary system, the Modular Sea Depot – a multi-unit maritime logistics node. The Modular Sea Depot provides near term operational capability, while serving as proof of principle and risk reduction for a larger scale Modular Seabase concept.
