P-3C WING LAUNCHER ASSEMBLY.— The P-3C wing launcher assembly universal pylon is shown in figure 7-24. It consists of a pylon assembly supporting an Aero 65A-1 bomb rack with two Aero 1A adapters, four sway braces, and an emergency release jettison mechanism. Three hoist positions are identified by decals, and are labeled A, B, and C. Their use is determined by the relationship of the store suspension lugs to the center of gravity (CG) of the weapon. The rear sway braces are positioned at a forward or aft mounting position, depending upon weapon length and contour. The forward position is used with 500- and 1,000-pound mines, and the aft position is used with the 2,000-pound mines. The wing launcher fairing is trimmed to fit the wing contour at one station, and is not interchangeable between stations after trimming. Jettison operation of weapons occurs when the jettison solenoid in the wing launcher is energized. The solenoid-actuated linkage connects to the Aero 65A-1 manual release cable. The jettison solenoid and linkage must be cocked before loading. S-3A PYLON/RACK ASSEMBLY.— The S-3A pylon/rack assembly (fig. 7-25) 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 rack. It also contains the necessary wiring and components to connect the rack to release and status indicating circuits. HELICOPTER KILL STORE SYSTEM The kill store system of the SH-3 series helicopter consists of control panels, interconnecting electrical units, and four launchers. The SH-60 series helicopter has either two or three launchers. On the SH-3 series helicopter, the launcher consists of an Mk 8 Mod bomb shackle, an Aero 7 series release unit, mechanical arming units, and accessories varied by location for a particular model. The SH-60 series helicopter uses the BRU-14/A bomb rack attached to the pylons. Each type of helicopter is designed to release and jettison electrically through normal and jettison-release circuits. FIXED-WING RELEASE AND CONTROL SYSTEM The functions of the fixed-wing release and control systems are to provide necessary controls and Figure 7-24.-Wing launcher assembly universal pylon. 7-18
