First Article Qualification Testing CNU-399/E MAVERICK Missile Container,

Abstract

Aeronautical System Division (ASD/TAM) Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-5999 requested assistance from the Air Force packaging Agency (AFPEA) to perform a first article production qualification test on a new Maverick missile container. The prototype container was fabricated by a contractor and shipped to the AFPEA for testing. The purpose of this project was to determine if the prototype container CNU-399/E will protect its contents, the AGM-65A/B/C/D/E/F all-up-round (AUR) Maverick missile, during worldwide shipments, storage, and handling. The container will also be used for shipment, storage and handling of the missile less guidance unit (GU) and the missile less both GU and the hydraulic actuation system (HAS). The container was designed to limit the transmission of shock to a maximum of 40Gs.
