Temporary Tank Ammunition Storage Facility
Abstract
A rack for temporary storage of tank ammunition was designed and tested. Such a rack was considered to be useful for tactical units whose tanks are maintained in an uploaded configuration for improved readiness. When maintenance is performed upon these tanks, the ammunition must be offloaded in order to comply with safety requirements. A rack, which permits storage of the ammunition while maintenance is performed, and which controls explosion size and fragmentation hazards, offers significant improvements in ammunition handling and safety over current procedures.
