Harpoon Modifications

Abstract

The MK607 containers are used to transport and store two (2) AGM-84 Harpoon missiles. Designed in the mid 70s it has an internal aluminum saddle, a steel cradle frame and fiberglass shell. Current design allows for moisture intrusion and provides marginal Insensitive Munitions (IM) performance. FY14 funds are required to address cracking encountered during the original design testing. Funds are required to complete IM test of redesigned container, and post-test assessment of MIL-STD-901d Ship Shock compliance. Recent Conventional Ordnance Deficiency Report provides increased emphasis on the need to complete. This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
