摘要

The U.S Army defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Belvoir Research, Development and Engineering Center (BRDEC), STRBE-FMR, to develop a tiedown procedure and perform a rail impact test for the Air Transportable Lifting Device (ATLD). From information provided, the Storage and Outloading Division developed tiedown procedures transporting the ATLD on a flatcar. These procedures were then tested to Association of American Railroads (AAR) rail impact test requirements. The ATLD, as tie down on a flatcar, passed these requirements. The results of this is contained in this report.
