OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION MODIFICATION OF B-37K1 BOMB RACK ON F- 105 AIRCRAFT FOR MARK 6 MOD 6 FLARES

Abstract

Tests were conducted to evaluate the capability of the F-105 to carry a B-37K1 Bomb Rack modified for Mark 6 Mod 6 flare carriage. No F-105 sorties were flown during this development program. Numerous ground tests of this rack, flare, combination demonstrated 100% reliability of this modification. Inflight evaluation during William Tell, 1962, with F-100 type aircraft, indicated completely satisfactory operation of the B-37K1 rack modified for Mark 6 Mod 6 flare carriage and delivery. This report provides modification in structions for the B-37K1 rack, loading procedures for the rack and Mark 6 Mod 6 flares in check list form, and required cockpit settings for expending the subject flares.
