Road Testing of Navy Mines

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS) was requested by the Naval Weapons Station Earle to conduct a road transportability test with a series of Navy Alpha mines. The purpose of the tests was to confirm if the Alpha mine drawings are adequate for CONUS highway shipments. Two separate distinct Navy truckload drawings depicting the procedures to be tested along with the inert items to be tested were received at USADACS prior to the scheduled test. The first test load consisted of MK 62, MK 63, and MK 64 Alpha mines on a commercial flatbed trailer. The second test load consisted of MK 56 and MK 55 Alpha mines on a commercial flatbed trailer.
