OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION TYPE X PYLON/GAM-83 COMPATIBILITY

Abstract

Tests were conducted to evaluate the compatibility of the Type X Pylon with the GAM-83A and TGAM-83 missiles. Results of the test showed the Type X Pylon to be satisfactory for both GAM-83A and TGAM-83 carriage and launch. The Type X also proved to be superior to the Type I Mod II Pylon with adapter that is currently being used. The most significant improvements were in the irborne handling characteristics of the aircraft and an inrease in operational imitions with an asymmetrical Type X Pylon configuration. (Author)
