The US Navy has awarded a contract to Billet Tech to manufacture missile shipping containers.

Under the $19m contract, Billet Tech will design and build metal shipping and storage containers for 1,100-pound Joint Standoff Weapons.

The 13ft-long, 3ft-wide and 3ft-high missile shipping containers will undergo tests, including environmental, vibration and detonation tests.

During the detonation test the missile will be detonated inside a container while missiles rest in adjacent containers being untouched.
