The AN/ALQ-172 LRU family of Shipping and Storage Containers (CNU-605/E, CNU-606/E, CNU-607/E, and CNU-608/E) are sealed, welded aluminum, controlled breathing, reusable containers. The containers are engineered for the physical and environmental protection of the LRU's during worldwide transportation and storage. The containers consists of a base and a completely removable cover equipped with the special features listed below. The base is a one piece skid/double walled base extrusion with forklift openings, humidity indicator, pressure equalizing valve and desiccant port for easy replacement of desiccant (controls dehumidification). A silicone rubber gasket and quick release cam-over-center latches create a water/air-tight seal at the base-cover interface. Container external dimensions are 42.9 inches length, 33.0 inches width, and 22.4 inches height for CNU-605/E, CNU-606/E and CNU-607/E. CNU-608/E has external dimensions of 33.0 inches length, 33.3 inches width, and 24.6 inches height. An aluminum cradle system is mounted on helical steel isolators, which in turn are mounted to the interior container sides. The isolators limit the transmission of shock to the LRU's to 15 Gs. The LRU's are attached to the cradle systems with a heavy duty Velcro strap. |
