CASE STUDY

SEA SPARROW MISSILE

SmartShield was tasked with coming up with a packaging solution for the guidance system in the Sea Sparrow Missile. This missile is fired from a ship and is considered short range with a usable range of 19 kilometers. It has an astonishing top speed of 4,256kph and comes with a price tag of $165,000.00. The packaging for this project had to be anti-static to protect the delicate electronic components of the guidance system as well as fully enclosed to keep out any dust during shipping. SmartShield has now been building packaging for the Sea Sparrow's guidance systems for nearly 10 years now. These systems are protected by a robust antistatic foam set that completely encapsulates the unit and provides a minimum of 4” of cushion, the foam set is then inserted into a special mil-spec bag that is also antistatic to ensure no dust can get into the unit during shipping. This is all then put inside of a double wall stitched cardboard carton and has special labels applied to indicate the requirements for shipping this component.
