Description of the Book:
The 105mm Howitzer supplied to this laboratory by the Army Tank and Automotive Command through arrangements made with Natick Laboratories has been dropped five times at impact velocities up to 54.4 fps, and at design accelerations as high as 30g. The initial modifications of the vehicle in preparation for the drop series and the design criterion for this test series are presented along with a description of the cushioning system used and the damage sustained in each drop. It is concluded that this vehicle can be dropped at impact velocities up to 50 fps without any damage, if a properly designed cushioning system is used
