Chaff/Flare dispenser proposal

Recommended Posts

Can anyone do , please this chaff/flares dispenser (the documentation follows) ?

 

 

ACE PYLON

 

the requirement for re-calibration of the aircraft’s stores management system.
The ACE Pylon overall length and self-protection equipment arrangement is also tailorable to the application, in particular by minimizing installation height when it is possible to locate the Pylon tail cone in front of the wing flap.
As the ACE Pylons may directly replace the outermost weapons pylons, the typical configuration will be a symmetrical LH/RH shipset pair for maximum sensor coverage and symmetrical flare dispensing. However, a single ACE Pylon in a symmetrical centerline pylon or an asymmetrical single-side wing installation may be accommodated if required.
Equipment Arrangement
Self-protection suites can be incorporated in stages and with several levels of complexity:
1. Basic: Chaff/Flare Dispensers (ACMDS)
2. Intermediate: Adds MWS to ACMDS
3. Advanced: Adds RWR to MWS and ACMDS
A jammer may be incorporated in lieu of Chaff dispensers.
Beginning at the ACEPylon front end and typical for either a LH or a RH unit:
• Front RWR spiral antenna or jammer antenna as applicable
• Front quadrant horizontal MWS sensor, as applicable
• Forward/Outboard Firing Flare dispenser (optional)
• Upward or downward-looking MWS sensor (optional)
• ERU (‘bomb rack’) in main body, above it the aircraft-specific integrated ‘stub’ pylon interface to wing
• Stores arming lanyards and umbilical cables connections
• 1, 2 or 3 ea. sideways firing dispensers, depending on application installation mass and volume availability
• Electronics compartment (length tailorable to application)
• Aft quadrant horizontal MWS sensor, as applicable
• EMI-Filter/ground safety switch
• Aft spiral antenna or jammer antenna as applicable
If required by a particular customer, a configuration variant may omit the forward firing flare dispenser in lieu of a third
sideways firing dispenser. Note that there may be cases where the aerodynamic impact (airflow and air loads) of the forward firing dispenser may preclude its application.
Variants
Although the ACE Pylon will be tailored to each specific application, the basic modularity of the concept enables re-use of many components across applications.
Due to the disparity in flight performance and load carrying capacity across the range of potential carriage aircraft, two basic variants of modular component “packages” are proposed, one for fast, high performance aircraft and one for smaller, slower aircraft:
• High performance aircraft (fast jets) with up to 1500 lbs. stores capacity:
o 14” + 30” 2000 lbs. max. capacity bomb rack
o MILDS-F-type MWS
o Forward Firing Flares optional
o 9g maneuver limit
o 1.2M @ SL air speed limit
• Lighter, slower aircraft with up to 750 lbs. stores capacity:
o 14” 1000 lbs. max. capacity bomb rack
o MILDS-type MWS
o Forward Firing Flares standard
o 7.33g maneuver limit
o 400 KTAS @ SL air speed limit
