Test and Evaluation of the Lug, Dummy, MAK-79C Store Gone Switch Override (P/N A51S63980-1)
Abstract
In accordance with the AIRTASK/Work Unit, the MAK-79C Store Gone Switch Override Dummy Lug (P/N A5lS63980-l, reference (a), item number 2035) was evaluated to determine its suitability and supportability for use in support of the F-l4A aircraft at the Organizational level of maintenance. The Dummy Lug was designed to simulate the presence of a store lug in the aft hook of each MAK-79C/A37B ejector rack on the weapon rails during checkout of the AWG-l5 fire control system. The MAK-79C/A37B racks were designed so that the external Store Gone Switch senses the presence of the bomb lug rather than the rack hook position. The MAK-79G/A37B racks will be replaced by BRU-24/25 racks, which are modified versions of the MAK-79 series racks. The design of the replacement racks has been changed so that the internal Store Gone Switch senses the open/closed position of the forward rack hook, and the switch is operated by opening and closing that hook. Due to the design change, the Dummy Lug will not be required for testing the BRU-24/25 racks. The replacement racks are scheduled for delivery to the Navy comnmencing early 1976.
