The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SJMAC-DEV), was tasked by the Transportation Engineering Division (SJMAC-DET) to conduct transportability testing on the Intermodal Storage and Transport Frame (ISTF-2) manufactured by Mobile Shelter Systems, Inc. The testing was conducted in accordance with TP-94-01, Revision 2, June 2004 'Transportability Testing Procedures.' The objective of the testing was to evaluate the ISTF-2s, when transportability tested in accordance with TP-94-01, Revision 2, June 2004. The ISTF-2s, without interlocks, are satisfactory for the transport of ammunition. However, due to extremely tight tolerances we do not recommend that the RIBS cradles be used to block and brace the ISTF-2s in an end-opening intermodal container. Additionally, the interlock devices are not approved for ammunition transport. Testing of the interlocks was conducted for evaluation purposes only.
