Day 1 - 20

Day 21+

Date: 1 Jan 2010

• Goals
• Bridge the gap in current equipment that makes it difficult to meet the stated mission
• Provide streamlined procurement actions with CAIV as the driver
• Meet the expeditionary requirements of the MC by providing low footprint/low support feeding solutions
• Increase morale by increasing the variety and quality of rations

Date: 1 Jan, 2010

• Legacy Systems
• Tray Ration heating System (TRHS) 588 fielded systems
• Field Food Service System (FFSS) 42 fielded systems
• New R&D Systems
• Enhanced Tray Ration Heating System (ETRHS) integration of fielded components and purchased refrigeration systems
• Expeditionary Field Kitchen (EFK)

• ‘Heat on the Move’ capability meets expeditionary requirements of the MC
• Entirely contained within the HMMWV
• Uses DC power supplied by the vehicle to run a JP-8 fired burner and heat the tank

Date: 1 Jan, 2010

• Cook starts the system, drops in the heat and serve rations and drives to site, able to feed 125 personnel upon arrival
• Limited ration flexibility as the system only boils water, no grilling or baking
• Modernization effort (Statement of Need in staffing) drivers are the elimination of unarmored HMMWV, lack of flexibility and sole sourcing of components

Date: 1 Jan, 2010

• Designed to support 250-350 Marines (2 hot group meals/day) in forward locations serving the full family of DoD group rations
• Kitchen in a box concept allows for rapid transportation to/within theatre
• The refrigeration unit provides refrigerated or frozen space (300 ft3)

• Refrigeration and addition of baking and grilling capability provides greater ration flexibility (UGR-A™s are not currently authorized)
• Integration effort only. All items are in the MC logistics supply train
• Acquisition Objective is 68 systems
• Planned fielding in 4Q10

• Capacity to support 850 personnel with all ration types. Includes sanitation and serving capabilities
• Original AO was 75 systems of which 42 were procured and fielded.
• Three ISO containers that mate to form a single system
• All electric commercial appliances provide rapid heat up and recovery times, steam generation, large throughput
• Not designed for expeditionary use. Power requirements (200kW), interface requirements (all containers need to be on ~ same level ground) and support requirements (difficult electric maintenance and repair functions) make the system difficult to field and maintain.

Date: 1 Jan, 2010

• Capacity to feed 500 with the ability to prepare all group rations
• Acquisition Objective is 104 systems. Procurement effort underway with RFP published 22 Apr 10.
• Item shown is the third of three prototypes. System completed rigorous off-road test regimen at ATC to obtain ‘expeditionary’ status. Recently completed successful Limited User Evaluation.
• Estimated contract award in Aug 2010

• EFK requires 10kW MEP 803A generator to run all systems. Gensets procured and supplied to engineering support group
• Modified commercial appliances provide restaurant style ability to MC food service personnel while staying within the guidelines of the MCs ‘single burner initiative’
• Follows single box concept, all items necessary to chill, prep, cook, serve and sanitize are contained in the one container

Day15+

Day 1 - 5

Date: 20 Jan 2010

Goals:

• Meet the Air Forces modular force bed down and field feeding requirements and objectives (BEAR play book)
• Reduce labor, provide upgraded equipment, and increases the yield of food production
• Reduce overall life cycle costs of food service equipment
• Provide modern, approved/tested electric food service equipment items
• Reduce transportation and deployment footprint
• Improve feeding efficiencies, cook comforts and morale
• Reduce logistical burdens and support technical transitions

Date: 20 Jan 10

• Legacy Systems:
• Single Pallet Expeditionary Kitchen (SPEK)
• Containerized Deployment Kitchen (CDK) System
• 9-1 Kitchen System (i.e. Harvest Falcon)
• New R&D Systems:
• Electric Single Pallet Expeditionary Kitchen (ESPEK) , Containerized Electric Single Pallet Expeditionary Kitchen System (replaces SPEK & CDK)
• Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) 550 Kitchen System (Modernized 9-1)

Legacy SPEK: Two versions (Home Station and BEAR)

• Supports initial UGR-H&S™ meal preparation for 550, two times per day until 9-1/BEAR set arrival
• Single 463L pallet, TEMPER Tent or EISU shelter, primary equipment: fuel-fired TRHS, sanitation system, and generator (2kW)
• No organic refrigeration or ECU

Date: 20 Jan 10

Legacy CDK:

• Supports initial UGR-H&S™, UGR-A™, and line item A meal preparation for 550, two times per day until BEAR set arrival (30 systems)
• 2 for 1 Expandable 20” ISO container, all electric appliances, 150kW gen set, 12K pounds
• Standard & enhanced replacement equipment package provided to the Air Force in 2006
• Heavy, difficult to move via air (requires K-loader)

Date: 20 Jan 10

Legacy 9-1 (formerly Harvest Falcon/Eagle):

• Supports all group ration preparation for feeding 550 to 1100 personnel 3 meals per day
• TEMPER Tent System, Water and Electrical Distribution system, includes ECU, refrigeration, spares, all electric appliances (152 components)
• Meets the Air Forces Force Module construct (“building the base”)
• Untested COTS equipment

Date: 20 Jan 10
