MIL-STD-1660 Test of Unitization Procedure for 105mm White Phosphorus (WP) Projectiles

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USA DACS) has been tasked by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, SMCAR-ESK, thru the Storage and Outloading Division, USADACS, to test a unitization procedure for the shipment of 75mm thru 106mm/4.2-in white phosphorus (WP) projectiles. Projectiles received for testing were inert-filled 105mm WP, weighing about 25 lbs each. These projectiles were unitized in accordance with the unitization procedure and subjected to the MIL-STD-1660 design criteria for ammunition unit loads. The unitization for the 105mm WP projectiles satisfactorily completed this testing sequence.
