Mk 58 Rocket Motor Remote Arm/Fire Device.
Abstract
Contract N00019-76-C-0126 was awarded by NAVAIR to Hercules/ABL with the objective of defining and evaluating remote only type arm and fire mechanisms for application on the surface launched AIM-7F Sparrow. All the program design evaluation and delivery goals were met. A series of four arm/fire devices were designed and evaluated in Phase I with respect to a series of predefined system design specifications and functional requirements. Hercules completed a system rating study of the four devices and recommended two potential systems for the second phase design study. Final selection of an arm/fire device for the Phase II prototype design effort was completed by NAVSEA. The rotary solenoid/pressure sleeve type device was selected based upon potential superior performance of this system under a 40-foot drop environment.
