5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed
by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain
requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory
Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within
the Military Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be
helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The intended use of the BSLA covered by this specification is to raise
and lower the stabilizing outriggers of the M860A1 semitrailer outfitted with the PATRIOT
Radar and Launcher System. This is accomplished by retracting and extending the (ball) screw
over a range of 37 in. (94 cm) under a load of 52 000 lbs. This item is military unique because it
must be able to operate satisfactorily under terrain conditions typically found on the battlefield.
The BSLA is specially designed to withstand the types of high shock that would be experienced
from nearby or direct munitions explosions.

a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of
individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1 and 2.3).
