Transportability Testing Procedures

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SJMAC-DEV), was tasked by the TACOM/ARDEC, Logistics Research and Development Activity, Picatinny, NJ, to conduct transportability testing using the Smart Tie-Down System manufactured by Creare Incorporated. The test loads consisted of load bays of SCL #23, SCL #2 and C445 wooden boxes. The testing was conducted in accordance with TP-94-01, Revision 1, July 2002 'Transportability Testing Procedures.' The objective of the testing was to evaluate if the Smart Tie-Down System, manufactured by Creare Incorporated, could adequately restrain the load bays when transportability tested in accordance with TP-94-01, Revision 1, July 2002. Based on the results of testing the Smart Tie-Down System did not adequately restrain the ammunition loads.
