Abstract:
ASD/TAML requested assistance to conduct certification and qualification testing on two new aluminum Maverick missile containers. The CNU- 445/E and the CNU-447/E prototype containers are environmentally sealed with a humidity indicator, desiccant port, and a pressure relief valve. Both containers are designed to protect one AGM-65A/B/C/D/E/F/G 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-445/E is the Air Force version of the container. The CNU-447/E is the Navy version and differs from the CNU-445/E only in some external Navy-specific handling features. Additional welds were incorporated into the CNU-447/E prototype because of cracked welds around the base of the CNU-445/E prototype. When subjected to rough handling tests there was no weld failure on the CNU-447/E. The additional welds should be added to the engineering drawings of both containers. Results of test conducted on both prototype containers are acceptable. Both prototype containers will adequately protect the mentioned Maverick missile configurations during worldwide shipments in the public domain. (edc)
