Safe Arming Times for MK 81, MK 82, MK 83, MK 84 and M117 Low Drag Bombs.

AD860933

Publication Date	1969
Personal Author	Saffold, R. G.
Page Count	191
Abstract	This report presents results of a study conducted to determine the arming time that should be recommended for each combination of aircraft type, release condition, bomb type, and post-release maneuver, as well as a discussion of the methods used to arrive at the recommended arming times. The aircraft types considered were A-4, A-6, A-7, and F-4. The release conditions considered were level attitude with no post-release maneuver, and dives followed by application of a 4G recovery force within two seconds after release of the last bomb. The tabulations presented do not replace the tactical manual recommendations, but rather present supplementary information for those interested. (Author)
