• Abstract:
  The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SMAAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command to conduct a First Article Test (FAT) on the Container Roll-in/Roll-Out Platform (CROP) manufactured by Hyundai Precision America, San Diego, California. ; The CROPs were tested and evaluated in accordance with the testing procedures of TP-94-01, "Transportability Testing Procedures." Testing included rail impact tests at 4, 6, and 8.1 mph forward and 8.1 mph in the reverse direction, hazard course and road course. The satisfactory performance of the Hyundai CROPs during testing has demonstrated that they are adequate to transport ammunition.
