The U.S. Army Research and Development Center is deploying mobile trailers to support the Lock Operations Management Application (LOMA) and Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS). These trailers will address coverage deficiencies across 25 waterways, where LOMA’s 170 permanent shore sites fall short.
A deployment to Lake Providence Port, Louisiana, in 2024 is expected to aid over 3,800 vessels, transporting $16 billion in goods. Similar trailers were deployed in Hickman, Kentucky, to prevent the shutdown of river traffic due to navigational hazards.
The LOMA team plans to expand the mobile fleet to enhance river safety and information dissemination. Increasing mobile units could significantly improve navigation across waterways.
