Development and Test of Thermal Protection Methods for Bomb Fuzes to Extend Cook-Off Time in Large Aircraft Fuel Fires

Abstract

Both experimental and theoretical investigations have been performed on ways of extending the cook-off times of the Nose Fuze M904E2 and M148 Adapter Booster when engulfed in a liquid hydrocarbon fire. Several insulative materials were examined for utilization in fuzes and adapter booster fixes. The report describes the cook-off test procedures and discusses the laboratory and field results of cook-off fixes for Fuze M904E2 and M148 Adapter Booster.
