The issue of mobility is vital to the Air Force as it faces the 21st century. Operational units must be prepared to quickly deploy anywhere in the world. Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) is a large portion of any operational unit’s mobility requirements. The Multi-function Aircraft Support System (MASS) program proposes to reduce the amount of AGE required by operational units by combining the functions of many different pieces of AGE into new multi-function units. This thesis studies one portion of AGE mobility, the transportability characteristics of the Air Force’s current powered AGE.
