Qualification Testing of the CNU-480/E Container for the SMAW (HEAA) rocket

Abstract

The objective of these tests is to qualify the CNU-480/E Container for production release by MSD/YJA. The container is a welded-aluminum, controlled-breathing style with a removable cover. It is designed to hold four SMAW high explosive anti-armor (HEAA) rockets. Shock vibration isolation is provided by the polyethylene foam cushions. The container is 46X20.5X16 with a gross weight of 135 pounds. The shipping and storage container is designed to hold four HEAA rockets in two layers constrained in conformal cavities in polyethylene tray and cover cushions. The qualification test series is derived from MIL-STD-648A and FED-STD-101C and consists of -25 and +140 F free fall drop tests, sinusoidal and repetitive shock vibration tests, structural strength tests, and leak tests. The test series was performed at the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity, WPAFB, OH.
