Abstract:

Contract N00019-76-C-0126 was awarded by NAVAIR to HerculesABL with the objective of defining and evaluating remote only type arm and fire mechanisms for application on the surface launched AIM-7F Sparrow. All the program design evaluation and delivery goals were met. A series of four armfire devices were designed and evaluated in Phase I with respect to a series of predefined system design specifications and functional requirements. Hercules completed a system rating study of the four devices and recommended two potential systems for the second phase design study. Final selection of an armfire device for the Phase II prototype design effort was completed by NAVSEA. The rotary solenoidpressure sleeve type device was selected based upon potential superior performance of this system under a 40-foot drop environment.
