The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School |
|
(USADACS) was requested by the U.S. Army Armament, |
|
Munitions and Chemical Command (AMCCOM) to conduct |
|
transportability testing of the Survivability Overpack |
|
Container (SOC). Methods of securing the SOC were |
|
designed, tested and evaluated. The SOC is an overpack |
|
container for shipping and/or storage of three XM785 |
|
projectiles in their XM617 primary containers. |
|
Constructed of steel, the SOC provides the weapons with |
|
enhanced protection and security. The SOC has dimensions |
|
of 75-3/8 inches long, 52 inches wide and 34-13/32 inches |
|
high. The maximum gross weight is 3,500 pounds, based on |
|
a tare weight of 2,200 pounds and a payload of 1,300 |
|
pounds. The SOC has a caster mounting bracket on each |
|
corner to accommodate readily detachable casters. The SOC |
|
was tested with solid rubber, polyurethane, and phenolic |
|
material casters, along with casters removed. Internally, |
|
the CM617 primary containers are retained in place by |
|
either of two alternative designs under consideration. |
|
The two alternative designs used to secure the two XM617 |
|
containers were each instrumented with two triaxial |
|
accelerometers. Instrumentation was used to compare the |
|
forces induced on each container during the road test |
|
with the M923 5-ton truck, M871 semitrailer and HEMTT. |
|
The SOC was positioned laterally and longitudinally on |
|
each of the test vehicles. |
