NSWC Indian Head

Marine Corps members from the Presidential Helicopter Squadron (HMX-1) load a Joint Modular Intermodal Container (JMIC) onto a MV-22B after landing at the helipad at Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD), May 18. The NSWC IHD Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) enterprise was notified there was an impact to a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B attached to the Presidential Helicopter Squadron, May 17. Due to the impact, the aircraft was grounded at a deployed location and submitted an emergency order for several CADs. The unique route in transit from the home location of HMX-1 to the deployment location indicated a stopover at NSWC IHD would be more advantageous compared to standard ground shipment. Through coordination with NSWC IHD leadership, an MV-22B landed at the command’s helipad on the morning of May 18, where a pallet of replacement assets was waiting to be loaded onboard.
