Design and Development of E3 Antenna Container,

Abstract

Warner-Robins ALC/DSTD, Robins AFB GA 31098, requested the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Agency, Wright-Patterson AFB Ohio 45433, to participate as a consultant in the design, development, and testing of a new container for shipping and storage of the E3 Antenna used on the airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft. Evaluation of previous efforts to provide a qualified container revealed a need for substantial changes in the containerization process. The new container must provide not only environmental protection for the E3 Antenna but also shall be transportable by C-5, C-130, or C-141 aircraft. The purpose of this project was to: (1) Design a sealable container for the E3 Antenna; (2) Ensure that the container design was compatible with the C-5, C-130 and C-141 aircraft as well as truck, rail and ship; (3) Establish test plan parameters; (4) Develop reprocurement drawings (level 3); (5) Evaluate the container design and determine any deficiencies; and (6) Deliver a qualified container in nine months.
