The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SJMAC-DEV), was tasked by Naval Surface Warfare Center to conduct transportability testing on the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) packed in CNU-589 shipping and storage containers when secured using vinyl air bags as dunnage. The air bags were manufactured by Centerload Shipping Technologies, Hayward, CA. Polyester strapping was used to secure the JDAM CNU- 589 containers in a stack. The polyester strapping was manufactured by Polychem Corporation, Mentor, OH. The testing was conducted in accordance with TP-94-01, Revision 2, June 2004 'Transportability Testing Procedures.' The testing included Hazard Course, Road Trip, and Panic Stops. The objectives of the testing were to evaluate the use of vinyl air bags as dunnage and to evaluate the use of polyester strapping for shipping the JDAM CNU-589 containers by commercial trailers. The interface between the vinyl air bags and steel strapping was also evaluated.
