Figure 15-33.—S-3 sonobuoy launch tube arrangement. The distribution box provides the necessary interface between the decoder and the bomb racks in both auto (computer) and manual modes. The decoder contains the necessary electronics for receiving commands from the armament control panel for arming and releasing bomb bay stations and transmitting station status information. Wing Store System The wing store system consists of the units and components necessary for carrying, arming, and releasing external stores. The stores are suspended from two wing stations (fig. 15-35)—W5 (left) and W6 (right). S-3 Pylon and Rack Assembly The S-3 pylon and rack assembly consists of a pylon supporting a BRU-11A/A ejector rack The rack is a self-contained unit that performs all the functions of carrying, arming, and releasing the stores. It is controlled by the aircraft armament circuits. The pylon provides structural attachment between the aircraft wing and the rack. It also contains the necessary wiring and components to connect the rack to release and status indicating circuits. SH-60B/F Helicopter The search store system of SH-60 helicopters is less complex than that of the P-3 and S-3 aircrafts, but it serves the same purpose. The SH-60 has all weather capabilities. The SH-60B is designed to operate off frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. Its primary missions are detection, classification, localization, and interdiction of surface ships and submarines. Its secondary missions include communications relay, vertical replenishment, search and rescue (SAR), medevac, and fleet support. The SH-60F is designed to replace the SH-3, and it operates off aircraft carriers. The primary mission is close-in ASW protection for the carrier battle group, and secondary missions include SAR and plane guard. Both the SH-60B and SH-60F are equipped with 25 sonobuoy launch tubes, BRU-14/A bomb racks (2 on the SH-60B and 3 on the SH-60F) for carriage of torpedoes. The SH-60F also has air-to-surface missile capabilities. The various models of the SH-60 helicopter (B, F) have different configurations and capabilities. REVIEW NUMBER 3 Q1. Q2. Q3. Q4. Q5. Q6. Q7. Q8. List the three basic aircraft used by the Navy for ASW operations. The P-3 aircraft has ______ bomb bay stations. What is the total number of unpressurized sonobuoy launch chutes in a P-3 aircraft? Three pressurize SLTs are used in P-3 aircraft. What size SLTs are used? Describe the numbering system of the P-3 bomb bay stations. You can mount BRU-12/A racks on the primary pylon assembly of a P-3 aircraft. What rack and adapters are found in the P-3 aircraft wing launcher assembly? What bomb rack or release unit is used with the SH-60 helicopter? 15-29
