Performance Analysis of Redesigned Packaging System for the C-5 Inertial Measurement Unit,

Abstract

In cooperation with the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center (AGMC), Newark AFS, Ohio, the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Agency (AFPEA), Wright-Patterson AFB OH, designed, developed and tested a prototype reusable shipping container and cushion insert for the C-5 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This program resulted in AGMC awarding a contract for fabrication of 60 of the new pack designs to replace the currently used wood container pack. As specified in the contract, the contractor provided AFPEA with a completed pack for verification testing prior to the fabrication and delivery of the 60 units. (Author)
