Abstract

This report contains the testing and test results performed on the M86 APERS Mine packed 12 per PA19 metal ammunition container, two PA19's per wirebound box for Performance Oriented Packaging certification. In addition, tests were conducted at Rochester Institute of Technology in which steel ammunition containers were loaded with 35 lbs. of lead shot and packaged two per wirebound box. Boxes were dropped 1.2 meters in 5 configurations; top, bottom, long side, short side, corners. The boxes were also compression loaded to 1296 lbs. to satisfy a 3 meter high stacking test. No damage was observed to the boxes after each of the test were completed. (aw)
