scope:
This specification covers the material, requirements, examinations, tests and packaging for a family of blow molded plastic divider racks used for restraining loose: unpalletized 155mm projectiles; unpalletized 8 inch projectiles; or unpalletized, unboxed 120mm mortar rounds contained in fiber tubes during on-vehicle storage and transport (see 6.1). The rack consists of specifically designed plastic dividers that, when assembled, will restrain any conventional projectiles of the 155mm or 8 inch family, or all 120mm mortar rounds in fiber tubes (see 6.4). The loaded racks are restrained in a tactical transport vehicle by means of a cargo tiedown strap(s) applied in an approved manner. The combinations for 155mm or 8 inch are referred to as Loose Projectile Restraint System (LPRS). The combination for 120mm mortar is referred to as Loose Round Restraint System (LRRS).
