MIL-STD-1660 Test of Unitization Procedure for Armor Tile, M1 and M2 Packed in Wooden Boxes

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEO), has been tasked by the Storage and Outloading Division (SMCAC-DEO) to test the armor tile palletization depicted in amended unitization procedures for armor tile, M1 and M2 packed two (M2) or three (M1) per wooden box, unitized 32 boxes per 35 in. X 45-1/2 in. pallet; approximate box size is 38 in. long X 13-1/4 in. wide X 4-9/16 in. high. The testing procedure used for this unitization is MIL-STD-1660 Design Criteria for Ammunition Unit Loads. The subject tests performed on this procedure were compression test, transportation simulation, edgewise rotational drop, inclined impact, and mechanical handling tests. The unitization satisfactorily met the requirements of MIL-STD-1660.
