Volcano XM89 Training Canister

Abstract

The XM8 9 training canister is a reusable, totally inert canister with a primary function to aid in the training of personnel of the operation and maintenance of the VOLCANO mine dispensing system. This report covers the development phase of the VOLCANO XM89 Training Canister and includes a system technical description and discussions of each engineering task as well as ILS activities. Hardware development sections include requirement and specifications, a general design history, and design details. Based on the results of the engineering qualification test the XM89 training canister demonstrated a 20 year life reliability under the most extreme operating environments. The 20 year life reliability was demonstrated at a confidence level of 98%(zero failures) based on the Barlow-Gupta reliability method. The XM89 training canister demonstrated full compatibility with the M139 Mine Dispenser. Keywords: Training devices/canisters; Mines ordnance; Dispensers/ compatibility.
