Abstract
Since 1950 the Navy has moved its high-priority cargo
through its Quick Transportation System (QOICKTEANS) . This
study examines the development of -hat system 'and the
concurrent growth of the commercial air cargo industry. The
authors selected Emery Worldwide as a representative of the
commercial air cargo industry and compared its capabilities
with the COICKTRANS system requirements. The authors
conclude that the commercial system represents an effective
and cost efficient alternative to QUICKTRANS. Several
preliminary objectives which must be satisfied in order to
facilitate a shift to a commercial system alternative are
identified and a contracting plan to meet those objectives
is presented.
