The Erudite All-modal Cargo System (EAC ā9G) is a revolutionary breakthrough in all-modal cargo systems.
When traveling by air, the EAC 9-G is compatible with the 463-L rail system used by the US Department of Defense and NATO allies. It also fits cleanly into nearly all commercial air cargo configurations.
By sea, the EAC-9G fits cleanly into any standard ISO-intermodal container, maximizing the CUBE available for cargo.
On land, the EAC 9-Gās global communications and smart sensor suite keep HQ and logisticians informed of location and status of the container and its cargo.
Designed by USAF and Air National Guard load-masters, the EAC-9G is stackable ā and designed to recapture the empty space that remains above the open pallets and non-stacking JMIC containers. The large (80ā height) EAC-9G container weighs approximately 50% of the weight of a set of JMIC containers with equivalent cube capacity when chained together to a 463-L pallet, and 20% less than a Cadillac container.
The EAC 9-G is completely modular: the base, sides, doors, and roof can be collapsed and the resulting "knocked-down" container can be transported empty in less than 25% of the space of an assembled container, providing tremendous savings in fuel and space whether pre-positioning empty containers for loading - or returning empty containers following delivery of cargo. In the event that a component (base, side, door, roof) is damaged, the individual component can be removed and replaced in the field, and the container can be immediately returned to service - saving weeks or even months over the out of service repair cycle common with unitized containers. |
