Airborne Separation Video System

Abstract

Due to decreasing DOD funds, the development of new tools to increase the efficiency of air vehicle/store compatibility testing was required. This need led to the design, manufacture, and test of the ASVS. The ASVS is a high-speed digital imaging system that addresses the inefficiencies inherent in high-speed film cameras as the primary recording medium for store separation events. In May 2000, the ASVS was used in a production capability for the first time. The maiden flight occurred on an F/A-18E/F dropping a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). Additional F/A-15 testing using the ASVS has included separation testing of the AIM-9X and ASRAAM missiles and Joint Stand Off Weapon (JSOW) smart weapon.
