| The successes of American military power in recent years relied greatly on the effective movement of massive quantities of materiel. Trucks, trains, and ships carrying intermodal containers delivered most of this materiel. The commercial transportation industry developed this intermodal support capability over time beginning with the introduction of the railroads in the early nineteenth century. The military quickly adapted the various ongoing developments for martial purposes. Since those earliest developments ... |

| Linerless composite tanks made from continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymers will enable significant mass and cost savings over lined, composite overwrapped tanks. The key technical challenge in developing these linerless tanks will be to choose and/or design the material to resist microcracks that may lead to leakage. Microcracks are known to form in the matrix of a composite due to mechanical stresses transverse to the reinforcing fiber direction. This paper ... |

|
| The Air Force Packaging Technology Engineering Facility (AFPTEF) was tasked with the design of a new shipping and storage container for the C-17 Radome in March of 2004. The new container is designed to replace the wood and fiberglass shell container presently used. The current containers lack of mechanical and environmental protection as well as handling issues prompted AFPTEF's design of a new container. The new container will protect the ... |

|
| Collapsible fuel storage containers currently being used by the U.S. military in South West Asia for Operation Iraqi Freedom are encountering surface temperatures approaching 200 deg F. Consequently, these polyurethane-coated fabric fuel tanks are experiencing catastrophic failures at an alarming rate. The purpose of this work was to survey the market and obtain common off-the-shelf solar reflecting paints and determine the potential of these materials for use as a temperature-reducing ... |
