摘要

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SMAAC-DEV), was tasked by Armor Metal Fabrication, Inc. to conduct a First Article Test (FAT) per MlL-STD-1 660, 'Design Criteria for Ammunition Unit Loads' on the Pallet, Standard Size 44 x 40, Sheet Metal. Three pallets were evaluated using the MlL-STD-1660 test requirements. Significant flaws were found in all three pallets. Three additional pallets were received and tested. The first two pallets passed all test requirements; therefore, the third pallet was not tested. As a result of the performance of Pallet 1 and Pallet 2 of the second group during testing, the Pallet, Standard Size 44 x 40, Sheet Metal, manufactured by Armor Metal Fabrication, Inc., In Madison IN, is recommended for USA-wide use.
