Abstract:

The U.S. Army defense Ammunition Center and School USADACS, Evaluation Division SMCAC-DEV, was tasked by the U.S. Army Belvoir Research, Development and Engineering Center BRDEC, STRBE-FMR, to develop a tiedown procedure and perform a rail impact test for the Air Transportable Lifting Device ATLD. From information provided, the Storage and Outloading Division developed tiedown procedures transporting the ATLD on a flatcar. These procedures were then tested to Association of American Railroads AAR rail impact test requirements. The ATLD, as tie down on a flatcar, passed these requirements. The results of this is contained in this report.
