Two MILVANs loaded with 3OMM ammunition were monitored during transport from Savanna Army Depot Activity (SVDA) to Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA). The first instrumented MILVAN was transported on a flatbed semitrailer and the second MILVAN was transported by rail. Event Data Recorders (EDRs) from Instrumented Sensor Technology, Inc. were set up to monitor shock/vibration in all three axes as well as temperature and humidity. Monitoring was conducted on 3 June and 5-30 June 1997. The EDR monitoring the MILVAN transported over-the-road experienced 1,231 shock/vibration events and 222 temperature/humidity readings. The EDR monitoring the MILVAN transported by rail experienced 9,081 shock/vibration events and 4,122 temperature/humidity readings.
