Technical Report on Ammunition Can Strap Verification

Abstract

Twenty-four (24) Pull tests were performed on 12 utility straps provided to the Vehicle Armor Lab (VAL) by The Program Management Office for the Mine Resistant Armored Vehicle Program (PM-MRAP). These tests were performed to verify the results of contractor testing. The testing found that the contractor was meeting the required specs. However, a couple of different anomalies were identified and noted. It was discovered that the Large Straps did not perform, or fail consistently. Also, it was noted that the buckle retainer on the smaller Straps loosened over time.
