  2. Container Roll In/Out Platform (CROP)

  3. Loaded Container Roll In/Out Platform (CROP)

  4. Research Objectives • Develop viable concepts of innovative ammunition (including missiles) restraint enhancements and reductions for single item and strategic configured loads (SCLs) on CROP. • Assessment of different materials suitable for ammunition restraints such as lightweight metals, alloys, plastics, and polymeric composites. • Comparative analysis of these materials with respect to currently used wood restraints in terms of properties, price, and ease of manufacturing. • Assessment of optimum reusability, reduction of battle field clutter and reverse application towards ensuring troop-friendliness. • Design and analyze a possible new system for the pallets on the CROP platform. • Design an alternative way to prepare dunnage to stabilize the load from shifting during transport.
