Abstract

At the request of MSD/YJA, Eglin AFB, FL, the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity evaluated the MILSTAR container group to determine suitability for production release. The MILSTAR containers are intended to provide worldwide level A shipping and storage protection for a communication contingency antenna system. Eight containers are welded aluminum, controlled breathing style with polyethylene foam inserts to provide required cushioning, blocking, and bracing of the antenna system components and with a removable cover. One container is an open head steel drum with polyethylene foam inserts and a controlled breathing valve. The container group was subjected to a level A shipping and storage rough handling test series in accordance with a YJA specified test plan.
