The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division, (SOSAC-DEV), was tasked by the Program Management Office USAF Afloat Prepositioned Fleet to conduct transportability testing on the 2,000- pound guided bomb units GBU-31 (V) I/B, in a side-opening container in accordance with the procedures specified in AMC Drawing 19-48-8722. The load was tested in accordance with TP-94-01, 'Transportability Testing Procedures'. Based on our review and testing, the loading and bracing procedures specified in AMC Drawing 19-48-8722, as tested 17-18 October 2001, are adequate for the transport of ammunition. The JDAM container, as currently designed, does efficiently interface with intermodal transport. The deficiencies in the JDAM container design are: a. The container does not have sufficient structural strength to enable one JDAM container to be stacked directly on top of another JDAM container. This requires additional wood dunnage to support the upper JDAM container when transporting JDAM containers two-high in an intermodal container. b. The JDAM container does not have sufficient strength, or a flat and smooth surface area, on the ends to allow for loading of one JDAM against another. Therefore, wood dunnage must be used to separate rows of JDAM containers.
