Hellfire Next Generation Captive Carry Health Monitor (NG-CCHM)
Abstract
The Hellfire NG-CCHM is a missile health monitoring device that measures and records operational and environmental stresses tailored to the most recent Hellfire missile design, the AGM-114R model. The unit will be a self-powered, low-cost autonomous system capable of measuring and recording key health status parameters. The unit will be an electronic data acquisition device embedded into each missile and will be optimized for long life to automatically monitor temperature exposure, drop shock events and record vibration levels that can cause degradation to the missile over time. Program Outputs and Efficiencies: The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in the project are: (1) reduced costs and maintenance burden to Warfighter; (2) increased reliability; (3) enhanced system safety; and (4) increased readiness. TTI accelerates the transition of this capability by two years. This project was funded in FY 2010 via the Quick Reaction Special projects program element.
