Comparison of Standard Issue and ANCRA International MILVAN Restraint Beams in Static and Dynamic Environments

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Validation Engineering Division (SMCAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Troop Support Command (TROSCOM), to evaluate a redesigned Military Van (MILVAN) restraint beam. The redesigned restraint beam was designed by ANCRA international. Currently fielded restraint beams are fabricated by Kinedyne Corporation. Testing was accomplished in two phases. The first phase consisted of a series of static loading tests. The second phase was dynamic with the beams used to restrain a fully-loaded MILVAN exposed to a standard transportability test environment.
