OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION THE A/A 37U-15 TOW TARGET SYSTEM

Abstract

The F-104 aircraft can safely tow the TDU-10B target with the A/A 37U-15 tow system. No modification to the aircraft is necessary and existing wiring is used to launch and recover the target. Maintenance of the system has posed no new or unusual problems. Superior aerodynamic characteristics of the system allow greater flexibility of dart towing than was previously possible.
