Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SMAAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) to conduct a First Article Test (FAT) per MlL-STD-1660, 'Deign Criteria for Ammunition Unit Loads" on the 2.75-inch Training Rocket, PAl 50 Containers on Wooden Pallets With Metal Top Lift. Three pallets were evaluated using MlL-STD-I660 test requirements. Significant flaws were found in Pallet I and Pallet 2 during testing. After alteration, Pallet 3 passed all requirements. As a result of the performance of the last pallet during testing, the 2.75-inch Training Rocket, PAl 50 Containers on Wooden Pailets With Metal Top Lift is recommended for U.S. Army-wide use worldwide.
