ALQ-164 POD/AV-8C Environmental Evaluation Flight Test.

Abstract

This report provides the test results of a flight test program conducted to evaluate the environmental conditions to which the ALQ-164 pod is exposed when carried on the AV-8C aircraft. Descriptions are provided of the test program, test equipment, instrumentation, and methods of analysis. The test results include cooling-air mass flow and temeprature, vibration levels measured on the pod structure and on the isolator mounted equipment support structure, and pod skin temperature. Test conditions include steady-state conditions throughout the available pod/aircraft flight envelope as well as various vertical takeoff and landing, short takeoff and landing, and gun fire operations.
