QUALITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE AIRDROP IMPACT CAPABILITY OF THE M44 INCAPACITATING CLUSTER

Abstract

M44 Incapacitating Clusters packed in shipping boxes were stacked two high and subjected to critical airdrop impact conditions to evaluate their ability to withstand airdrop impact loadings when rigged with standard air delivery equipment and techniques. It was determined that the Clusters are capable of withstanding the airdrop impact loadings when using standard air delivery equipment and techniques.
