Pressure and Vibration Test of the ACA/A395 Container for the BL-755 Seek Cluster Bomb Unit.

Abstract

The Air Force Packaging Evaluation Agency (AFPEA) has been involved in several 'compare and contrast' type situations where a series of tests are performed on multiple containers designed to protect the same item. This was the case in testing of containers for the BL-755 seek cluster bomb unit. According to the test plan developed at HQ ADTC/SDMT Eglin AFB FL three containers were to be tested to determine the better container to use for protection of the BL-755. Testing was conducted at both the AFPEA and Eglin AFB. The third container in this series was recently tested at the AFPEA with ADTC/SDMT personnel present. The container passed the vibration test but failed to hold the specified air pressure due to leaks in the system. (Author)
