The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS) conducted a transportability test of the Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) System at the request of the U.S. Army Missile Command (MICOM) and to satisfy requirements of the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA) and USADACS. The transportability test consisted of a rail impact test in which the maintenance shelter, the ground control station, the air vehicle handler, the launch assembly, the remote ground terminal and the recovery assembly of the RPV System were each blocked, braced, and tied down on a railroad flatcar. After each unit of the RPV System was rail impacted, the unit was operationally tested within the RPV System. The method of blocking, bracing, and tieing down each item was approved for rail transport. The shock loads resulting from the rail impacts were not detrimental to the operation of the equipment.
