Evaluation of Engineering Change Proposals 10 and 31 and Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of CNU-399E/425E Fiberglass Maverick Missile Container

摘要

Aeronautical Systems Division, ASD/SDML, requested assistance from the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity to conduct testing on the CNU-399E/425E fiberglass Maverick missile container for engineering change proposals and performance oriented packaging. The CNU-399E/425E container was designed and fabricated by Plastics Research Corporation, 13538 Excelsior Dr., Santa Fe Springs CA 90670. The containers are environmentally sealed with a humidity indicator, disiccant port, and a pressure relief valve. The containers are designed to protect one AGM-65A/B/C/D/E/F all-up-round Maverick missile during world-wide shipment, storage, and handling. The containers will also be used for one missile without the guidance unit and for one missile without the guidance unit and the hydraulic actuation system. The CNU-425/E is the Air Force version of the container. The CNU-399/E is the Navy version and differs from the CNU-425/E only in some external Navy-specific handling features. (rh)
