NAVAIRDEVCEN FY-84 Program Accomplishments for Arming System Development Program.

Abstract

The F/A-18 aircraft is constructed with composite materials, which have been damaged by arming systems components during store release. Aircraft damage has occurred mainly on wing and tail sections due to flailing arming wires and arming clip impacts. Indirect arming systems are being utilized to help eliminate this type of damage, but some are not as reliable as needed. This report describes three FY-84 efforts to solve arming system problems for the F/A-18 aircraft: SNAKEYE FIN ARMING SYSTEMS, NOSE FUZE ARMING SYSTEM, and INTEGRAL LINK ARMING UNIT.
