Qualification Testing of the CNU-471/E Infrared Detection Set Container

Abstract

Aeronautical Systems Division, ASD/VXAL, requested assistance from the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity (AFPEA) to design, prototype, and qualify a container for the infrared detection set (IDS) used on Combat Talon II aircraft. The CNU-471/E prototype container was designed, fabricated and tested at the AFPEA, HQ AFLC/DSTZ, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-5999. The container is environmentally sealed and outfitted with a humidity indicator, desiccant port, and pressure relief valve. The container's item receptacle was designed to interface with the Texas Instrument handling ring for ease in maneuverability. The container is designed to protect one IDS during worldwide shipment, storage, and handling. The container test plan was derived from Military specification MIL-C-5584D. The tests were conducted in accordance with Federal Test Method Standard No. 101, Military Specification MIL-C-5584D.
