Cargo container
A cargo container for resting on a seat of a vehicle. An upper portion of the cargo container defines a first internal storage space and comprises a first bottom panel to rest on the seat of the vehicle. The upper portion has a first depth corresponding with a depth of the seat. The upper portion comprises a hinged door openable to provide access to the first internal storage space and closable to restrict access to the first internal storage space. A leg portion extends from the upper portion. The leg portion has a second depth less than the first depth. The leg portion is sized to engage a floor of the vehicle when the first bottom panel is resting on the seat of the vehicle. A seatbelt engagement feature is coupled to the upper portion and is configured to engage a seatbelt for the seat of the vehicle.

Modular container transport systems
Disclosed are apparatus, systems, and methods, including a ground transport drive container comprising an outer container having a cuboid shape and comprising a plurality of fittings for securing the outer container to another apparatus; and a drive wheel assembly. The drive wheel assembly comprises one or more wheels and a deployment mechanism secured to the one or more wheels. An actuating member actuates the drive wheel assembly between a stowed configuration and one or more deployed configurations. In the stowed configuration, the drive wheel assembly is housed entirely within the outer container. In the one or more deployed configurations, the drive wheel assembly extends from the outer container.

ADVANCED AERIAL, INTERNAL CARRIAGE-COMPATIBLE TRAVEL POD
A composite pod body that is compatible with the internal carriage mounting of an aerial vehicle for stowage of equipment or other items during long term aerial travel or deployment. The pod system may have large access doors with quick release latches and removable end caps for ergonomic access and versatility of stowage. The pod design may maximize the usable volume of the internal carriage. Further, standard NATO lug spacing may be utilized to ensure military compatibility. The pod may also have anti-roll or stabilization feet integrated with the body to ensure safety. The composite body may be lightweight when compared to legacy generation pods.
