Abstract:

This evaluation was the operational test of the AA 37U-15 Tow Subsystem with the F-100D aircraft. Missions were conducted to test the tow subsystem for ground and airborne compatibility with the F-100D aircraft. The operation of the tow subsystem during launch and tow and performance capabilities while flying actual dart firing missions were evaluated. It was concluded from the test that the tow subsystem can be satisfactorily used in normal towing operations with the F-100D aircraft. Author
