AMF Architecture

The AMF1 sets up in Heselbach, Germany.

The primary concept behind the architecture for the mobile facilities is flexibility and portability. In addition to baseline instruments (see AMF1 and AMF2), both mobile facilities include the following primary components:

Operations shelters/modules
Data systems
Power
Staffing

Principle differences for the AMF1 are capabilities for aerosol measurements and guest instruments. Principle differences for the AMF2 are capabilities to support marine operations. For more information about each facility's architecture, see:
