CNU-XXX, (Proposed Container for CBU-75/B) Rough Handling, Vibration and Mechanical Handling Tests.

Abstract

Developments in the area of munitions transportation and storage have eliminated the need for sealed metal containers for some weapons systems. This was the case when ADTC/SDM, Eglin AFB FL proposed an open metal crate to replace the CNU-218 container for the CBU-75/B dispenser bomb. The first prototype, developed by Lanson Industries, failed the vibration tests (AFALD Report 76-39). Based upon further evaluation and due to the excellent structural strength of the container a second prototype was developed. This second prototype then passed all phases of testing. (Author)
