Abstract

An engineering (safety release) test was conducted on the grenade dispensing adapter. Testing consisted of a vibration test, drop test, and a usability test. The LAU-3 model met the criteria for all tests and it was recommended for safety release for both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft within the limitations imposed by applicable safety-of-flight releases.
