AH-1 Air Ground Engagement Simulation/Air Defense (AGES/ADES) Pod Jettison Evaluation
Abstract
The AH-1 Air Ground Engagement Simulation/Air Defense (AGES/ADES) Pod Jettison Evaluation was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California (elevation 2302 feet). Six flights totaling 2.4 hours were flown from 31 August to 2 September 1982. Satisfactory jettison envelopes for the AGES/ADES pod were defined at a hover, in coordinated level flight to 130 KCAS, and in coordinated autorotation to 85 KCAS. One Equipment Performance Report was submitted pertaining to the difficulty of attaching the AGES/ADES pod to the aircraft.
