Welcome to the Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHS&T) Community of Practice.

For purposes of this CoP, PHS&T is defined as a set of design and development parameters that assure a system, sub-system, component or equipment is compatible with the aircraft, ship, rail, truck and helicopter external lift/internal carry capabilities available to deploy/move systems for strategic or tactical purposes.
