Abstract	This report details the development program of PA190 and PA191 metal container for the 60-mm mortar ammunition. The 60-mm mortar ammunition is presently packed in three layers: fiber tube, metal container, and wood wire bound box. The new metal containers possess a unique design that provides the same level of protection as the current pack without the need for the wire bound box. As a result, the new pack significantly reduces material and pack out costs at the loading facility. It will also provide quicker access to the ammunition, reduce weight and logistics footprint. The new PA190 and PA191 meet all performance requirements of United Nations, U.S. Department of Transportation, and Department of Defense.
