Abstract:

The study compares the Cost and Operational Effectiveness of the alternatives for an All-Terrain Crane. None of the cranes in the present Army inventory are all-terrain. An initial market survey shows that the 25-ton all terrain crane can be procured with very small RD costs. Since the old 25-ton designs currently used do not meet the Armys mobility, logistics, and RAM needs, the purposed 25-ton All-Terrain Crane is the only viable alternative. It is recommended that the Army proceed immediately on a Non Developmental Item NDI procurement of the 25-ton All-Terrain Crane.
