The Jet Dock Systems are floating docks that allow the crafts to drive on and then be lifted out of the water. Jet Dock Systems parts and materials are proprietary to Jet Dock Systems as the

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and no other vendor is able to provide and install the performance docks to work with the ones already purchased and installed. Furthermore, if the additional docks are not purchased and installed in the available timeframe, it will affect the readiness of

MESG-2. Jet Dock Systems, Inc. is able to meet the turnaround time required to meet mission requirement.
