A composite monopack container for mortar ammunition is lightweight,
universally adaptable to all existing ammunition types, is capable of
fully protecting ammunition without the need of a metal overpack, and is
relatively inexpensive to produce, maintain and dispose. The container is
also fully back-compatible enables a quicker ammunition re-supply and
greater ammunition availability on the battlefield. The monopack container
comprises a cap, a main body, a latch assembly that locks the cap and the
main body, a pair of alignment features that mate with two corresponding
alignment channels on the main body, and three stacking indices that
prevent the container from rolling, and that make it stackable with other
composite containers.
