CHAPTER 4
AIR TRANSPORTABILITY GUIDANCE
4-1.
Scope
This chapter provides air transportability guidance for the movement of the ROLAND missile system.
It covers technical and physical
characteristics, as well as safety considerations, and prescribes the material required to prepare, load, and tie down system
equipment on, or offload from, US Air Force cargo aircraft.
4-2.
Maximum Utilization of Aircraft
The loads described in this chapter are not maximum loads.
General guidance on total cargo loads and operating ranges is provided
in TM 38-2361AFP 71-8.
Additional cargo and/or personnel, within allowable load limits and restrictions prescribed by pertinent
safety regulations, can be transported.
4-3.
Applicability
a.
US Air Force Aircraft.
The ROLAND missile system is transportable in US Air Force C-130, C-141B, and C-5A aircraft.
Procedures in this manual and those prescribed by section VI, TO 1C-XX-9, are applicable.
b.
Tiedown Devices
.
The ROLAND missile system components are tied down in accordance with the minimum acceptable
restraint factors (g loads) identified in TO 1C-XX-9.
The ROLAND XM1058 truck transporter and M35 truck will be tied down in
accordance with TO 1C-XX-9 and the figures and tables shown in this chapter.
Suggested tiedown patterns for the XM1058 truck
transporter are shown in figures 4-1 through 4-3 for C-130, C-141B, and C-5A aircraft, respectively.
Suggested tiedown patterns for
the M35 trucks are shown in figures 4-4 through 4-6.
Tables 4-1 through 4-6 list the tiedown devices required, the location of tiedown
points, the corresponding fittings to which the devices are secured, the number and capacity of devices, and the lumber shoring
required for loading and securement.
The OMTS shelters, when removed from their carrier vehicles because of C-130 and C-141B
height restrictions, will be secured on coupled aircraft pallets.
Figure 4-7 illustrates typical shelter-mounted items secured to coupled
pallets, and table 4-7 lists tiedown data.
The ROLAND missile system fire unit is mounted on a special pallet that is compatible with
the aircraft pallet system.
For C-5 aircraft loading, the fire unit must be loaded on two HCU-6/E pallets, 2-1/2 inches off center
toward the inboard side.
Therefore, the palletized fire unit and the OMTS shelters will be locked into appropriate pallet positions on
C-130 and C-141 aircraft.
