Abstract:

Due to decreasing DOD funds, the development of new tools to increase the efficiency of air vehiclestore 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 FA-18EF dropping a Joint Direct Attack Munition JDAM. Additional FA-15 testing using the ASVS has included separation testing of the AIM-9X and ASRAAM missiles and Joint Stand Off Weapon JSOW smart weapon.
