摘要: The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SIOAC-DEV), was tasked by U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armament Command (TACOM) to evaluate the Barnes & Reinecke, Inc. (BRI) version of a flatrack that would be compatible with the Palletized Loading System (PLS) and as a possible second source for new flatracks. The Model FS-2 flatrack supplied by BRI was fabricated by Sea Containers Services Ltd. The FS-2 flatrack has a tare weight of 6,878 pounds and an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) payload of 67,190 pounds. The flatrack was loaded with 155MM Separate Loading Projectiles (SLPs) and boxed ammunition simulating the maximum PLS payload. It was subjected to rail impact tests at 4, 6, and 8.1 mph and 8.1 mph in reverse in, two rail transportation modes and to the road test transportation environment. The transportation modes were Trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC) and cabled to a regular flatcar with 5/8-inch cables.
