The work aims to promote the design of ammunition package in China to adapt to the development of weapon, facilitate the sustainable innovation of ammunition package, and fully meet the operational support needs. The research status of ammunition packaging engineering filed was analyzed based on the local literature database and military literature database and the hot issues of ammunition package design were investigated according to the force research. Then, the research of ammunition package design was carried out based on five major concepts. The research field of ammunition packaging engineering in China mainly focused on packaging requirement, protection design, structure optimization, etc. to carry out delivery storage and transportation package design, standardization package design, package informatization application, sealed package design and anti-explosion package design. The research of ammunition package design was carried out based on combat concept, security concept, integration concept, interaction concept and ecological concept and the basic principles of ammunition package design in the new era based on combat, people orientation and sustainable development were established. The ammunition packaging engineering in China should place special emphasis on protection, assembly, and benefit. The hot issues should better reflect the modern warfare requirement, adapt to the development of ammunition, and promote the comprehensive development of design of ammunition package.
