CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1-1. Purpose
a. This manual is a reference handbook
published as an aid in planning, training, and
identification of Cartridges/Cartridge Actuated
Devices (CADS) and Propellant Actuated
Devices (PADs). It is not to be used as authorization for requisitioning, stockage, maintenance, or issue of this materiel.
b. The CADs/PADs data sheets in this
manual are arranged by chapters according to
their characteristics. Each data sheet uses the
item nomenclature as its title, In most cases, a
DODIC (in parentheses) will follow the item
name,
References and cross-references are
located in Appendix A thru Appendix H.
c. Throughout this manual, the term
CAD shall be synonymous with and collectively
represent FSC 1377 cartridges, cartridge actuated devices, and explosive detonating cords
used in aircraft/helicopter emergency escape systems, fire extinguisher systems, and equipment/ stores jettison and separation systems.
The term PAD shall be synonymous with and
collectively represent FSC 1377 rocket catapults and rocket motors used in aircraft escape
systems.
d. The Naval Ordance Station
(NAVORDSTA), Indian Head, MD 20640-5000
(Code 5320C) has been designated as the
Cognizant Field Activity (CFA) for CADS and
PADs.
Any questions concerning the
CADs/PADs described in this publication should
be directed to this station, Code 5320C.
1-2. Scope
a. This manual contains descriptive and
technical data for 1377 class CADS and PADs
used by the Army For each CAD/PAD, there
are illustrations, descriptions, and technical
data related to the CAD/PAD use, characteristics, shipping and storage, and function, plus a
list of reference publications,
b. Service life is the period of time a
CAD/PAD can be issued and used with an
ensured high degree of reliability, Performance
of CADs/PADs is influenced by the environment
to which they are exposed (e.g., temperature,
humidity vibration, shock). For current data
on Service life (Shelf & Installed), refer to
Appendix B of TB 9-1300-385. Updates to the
TB are issued quarterly.

c. Shelf life is the period of time, beginning from date of manufacture, that a
CAD/PAD can remain in its hermetically-sealed
container and still be serviceable. Shelf life is
always computed from date of manufacture
available from the lot number.
d. Installed life is the period of time a
CAD/PAD is allowed to be used after its hermetically-sealed container is opened, The installed
life expiration date shall never exceed the shelf
life expiration date as established from the date
of manufacture,
e. The shelf life and installed life are the
maximum approved limits established for Army
use. TB 9-1300-385 shall be consulted prior to
installing any CAD/PAD and for periodic inspections of installed CADs/PADs to ensure the lots
installed in operational Army aircraft/helicopters/equipment have not been suspended or
restricted from use.
f. In the event of differences concerning
the shelf lives and installed lives, TB 9-1300385 shall take precedence,
g. CAD/PAD shelf lives and installed
lives are not to be combined. A CAD/PAD is
over age is either of these limits is exceeded.
h. Information concerning supply operation, safe handling, and maintenance of these
devices can be found in TM 9-1377-200-20&P.
i. Included for the devices in this manual are the Type Classification and Logistics
Control Code (LCC). Devices with the following type classifications are included:
(1) Standard (LCC-A, LCC-B)
(2) Contingency (CON)
(3) Limited Procurement
(4) Reclassified Obsolete (OBS) for regular Army use, but used by National Guard or
Reserve Limits.
(5) Reclassified OBS for all Army use
but used by Marine Corps, Air Force, or Navy.
(6) Reclassified OBS, no uses, but US
stocks remain.

1-1

TM 43-0001-39

(7) Reclassified OBS for all US use;


no US stocks remain (foreign use or stock may
remain).
j. Numerical values, such as weights,
dimensions, etc., are nominal values except
when specified as minimum or maximum limits. Actual values may vary slightly from these
values due to established tolerance limits.
Allowable tolerance limits can be obtained from
the drawings indicated in the data sheets.
k. The FSCM is now replaced by CAGE
(Commercial and Government Entity) Code in
the Tabulated Data section of data sheets.
1.3. DOT Shipping Class and Designation
The DOT classification changed effective
21 December 1990. Users of this manual must
consult the Joint Hazard Classification System
(JHCS) for Ammunition and Explosives
(updated quarterly) for DOT Hazardous
Materials Description (Proper Shipping Name)
and Identification Number (United Nations
Serial Number) for each item herein. This data
is advisory only for shipments between Depots,
user storage, and user facilities. Data in the lat-

1-2

est issue of the JHCS will always take precedence unless written authorization to the contrary is obtained from the PICA (AMCCOM
Attn: DRSMC-DSD-AS (R), Rock Island, IL
61299). Additional data on this matter is currently being developed and will be incorporated
in future changes to this manual as it becomes
official.
1-4. Disposal
Disposal of CADs/PADs determined to be
in a hazardous, damaged, or overaged condition
is the responsibility of Explosive Ordnance
Disposal (EOD) personnel, A CAD/PAD may
only be disassembled by EOD personnel in
order to render the unit safe. No other disassembly is authorized, When a unit has been

Type Classification:

in diameter, and with an integrally-formed convex head.

Refer to associated aircraft subsystem.


Use:
To release fire extinguishing fluid into the
area surrounding an aircraft engine in the
event of a fire.
Description:
The cartridge consists of a machined brass
casing with a hexagonal midsection and a
threaded end enclosing a pair of electricallyfired DuPont E-92 type squibs, placed side by
side.
The output end of the cartridge is
crimped over a brass slug,
Each squib is a self-contained unit contained in a thin shell of bronze alloy, 0.272-inch

In the assembly one lead wire of each


squib is brought through a phenolic insulator
and soldered to a common center contact, The
insulator is sealed in place by crimping the casing over its edge, The other wire of each squib
is brought into electrical contact with the cartridge casing. Joined in parallel to common electrical contacts, both squibs fire simultaneously.
Each squib creates sufficient force to rupture the frangible disc in the valve body of the
container.
The cartridge is seated in the firing head
of the valve body fixed to the underside of the
extinguishing fluid container, This equipment
is secured within an access pocket in the wing
adjacent to the engine area it is to protect.

switch is actuated, electric current causes the
squibs to fire, creating gas pressure which propels the slug toward the seal disc, The slug
pierces the segmented frangible seal disc in the
exit valve body. The fluid (CF2B r2 or CF3Br),
which has been held under gas pressure (nitrogen) in the container, is thereby released, and
flows from the fluid container in the wing
access pocket to the distributing nozzles in the
engine area.
Gas, developed by the extinguishing
agent, reduces the oxygen content in the engine
area to a point where combustion cannot be supported, thus quenching the fire.
Recommended firing current is 8 amperes.

CHAPTER 3
CUTTERS
3-1. General
A cutter is a cartridge or propellant actuated device that is used in aerial delivery systems for cargo, helicopter cargo and rescue
hoist cable systems and drone recovery systems. Cutters are classified in accordance with
the following characteristics: (1) Method of
Actuation - mechanical or electrical, (2)
Function Time - nondelay or delay.
3-2. Operation
a. Actuation of the mechanical cutter is
accomplished by applying a pull force to the
cable or lanyard with sear attached, The lanyard sear is engaged in the firing pin; therefore,
the pull of the lanyard applies a load to the firing pin spring. Compression of the firing pin

spring and the release of the firing pin are


accomplished with one motion when the firing
pin moves rearward. The sear moves outward
to the cutter body section having an enlarged
internal diameter, which then permits the sear
to move sideward to release the firing pin. The
firing pin is propelled forward under the action
of the spring force and strikes the primer,
which ignites the delay element, if applicable,
then the propellant. Under the force of the propellant gas pressure, the cutter blade is
propelled onto the anvil severing the wires or
cable.
b. Function of electrically or mechanically initiated cutters is basically the same.
The cutters have a specific nondelay or delay
time and shall be used only for their designed
application.

The M21 reefing line cutter is a cartridge
actuated, one shot, disposable mechanical unit
with the cartridge sealed internally, Major components consist of case, firing pin assembly, lanyard, knife assembly delay assembly and cotter
pin.

Functioning:
A drogue chute is used to pull the load out of
the delivery aircraft and to deploy the main
chute, which inflates in a reefed configuration
The deployment of the main chute applies a tensile force to the lanyard assembly, which is
attached to the firing pin. Compression of the
firing pin spring and release of the firing pin
are accomplished with the same motion. The
potential energy stored in the spring propels
the firing pin forward, striking the primer. The
flash of the primer ignites the 2-second pyrotechnic delay mix which, in turn, sets off the propellant charge behind the cutter blade assembly.
Under the force of the propellant gas pressure, the cutter blade separates from the knifedelay assembly and is propelled forward in the
bore of the housing The impact of the blade on
the anvil severs the nylon reefing line inserted
in the cutter, allowing full deployment of the
main parachute.

Functioning:
A drogue chute is used to pull the load out of
the delivery aircraft and to deploy the main
chute, which inflates in a reefed configuration.
The deployment of the main chute applies a tensile force to the lanyard assembly, which is
attached to the firing pin. Compression of the

are accomplished with the same motion. The
potential energy stored in the spring propels
the firing pin forward, striking the primer. The
flash of the primer ignites the 10-second pyrotechnic delay mix which, in turn, sets off the propellant charge behind the cutter blade assembly.
Under the force of the propellant gas pressure, the cutter blade separates from the knifedelay assembly and is propelled forward in the
bore of the housing. The impact of the blade on

CUTTER, ASSEMBLY P/N FTL 3648-2 (MU03)

Type Classification:
Refer to aircraft subsystem.
Use:
Designed for interim high altitude parachute delivery systems.
Description:
The cutter contains a thermal battery electrically initiated cartridge, a mechanical firing
pin, steel cutter, and aluminum body.
Functioning:
When the ASPSU is dropped from the aircraft, a mechanical firing pin mechanism is actu-

ated by a pull from a static line attached to the


aircraft. This action cocks and releases a firing
pin, which impacts the percussion primer of the
thermal battery. The thermal battery fires and
produces 19 volts within 0.500 second and maintains a voltage between 19 and 35 volts for a
minimum of 120 seconds, with a 28-milliampere current drain. This energy is stored in
capacitors within the cutter and altitude sensor
modules until the preselected altitude is
reached. At that time the firing circuit is triggered, and an electric current pulse of at least
7.65 amperes is applied to the cartridgeactuated cutter. The cutter then fires, severing
the 9,000-pound (40.03kN)-test woven nylon
line. The G-12 main parachute is then allowed
to open.

Use:
Power device for the 5,000 lb. capacity
cargo parachute release.
NOTE
Replacement is MH88.

Description:
The M252 delay cartridge is cylindrical in
shape, It consists of the body a primer seat,
washer, M42 primer, A1A igniter charge, delay
charge, output charge, and closing disc.
Functioning:
Its function is to allow a nominal 20second delay, during which cargo descent is stabilized, before tripping a spinner mechanism
which allows the parachute to release upon landing.
4-7

TM 43-0001-39

When the cargo is jettisoned from the aircraft, parachute deployment activates the firing
mechanism. This compresses a spring behind
the firing pin. The stored energy of the compressed spring drives the firing pin into the
M42 percussion primer of the M252 cartridge.
Primer initiation ignites an A1A composition igniter charge adjacent to the delay
column. Upon the elapse of approximately 20
seconds, the delay mix ignites the filler and output charge; the resulting gases rotate the spinner on the release mechanism which releases
the ground disconnect pin attached to the
catch. Upon ground contact (no load on the
release), the rotated spinner allows the latch
holding the cargo to release. Thus, the parachute is prevented from dragging or causing
the cargo to tumble along the ground.

Helicopter)
a. Section I of this chapter contains descriptive and technical data pertaining to systems used for the Army AH1E-F/P/S (MOD)
Emergency Escape
Helicopter Personnel
Systems. Each system is used to explosively cut
the windows of the canopy and doors from the
canopy support structure to provide a rapid
means of escape/access to/from the crew compartment.
b. The system consists of four linear
explosive window cutting assemblies (WCA)
which are installed around the rim of the canopy and door windows of the crew compartment
(fig. 5-1), three armed/firing mechanisms, and
interconnecting flexible confined detonating
cords (FCED) and rigid shielded mild detonating cord (SMDC) lines (fig. 5-2). One armed/fir-

ing mechanism is located in the pilots


instrument panel to the left of the glare shield,

Functioning
Upon actuation of the system by arming
and firing any one of the three armed/firing
mechanisms, a detonation wave is received via
the interconnecting FCDC and SMDC lines to
the linear explosive of the WCA. The explosive
force is outward, simultaneously cutting out
the four plastic window glasses of the crew compartment,

CORD, DETONATING, ASSEMBLY, SHIELDED, MILD (SMDC): (MS53)

Type Classification:
Refer to aircraft subsystem.
Use:
To provide an interconnecting explosive
media to the Window Cutting Assembly (WCA)
of the gunners canopy window used in the
Emergency Canopy Removal System of the AH1 series Helicopter.
Description: (General all sizes)
Major components of the SMDC Assembly
are threaded fitting, seals, washers, inner and
outer ferrules, loaded booster shell, and silver
sheathed mild detonating cord.

Functioning
Upon actuation of the system by arming
and firing any one of the three armed/firing
mechanisms, a detonation wave is received via
the junction manifold and is boosted by the
loaded booster shell. The stimuli from the
booster actuates the HNS within the SMDC
assembly.

NOTE
The MS47 thru MS62 are identical in
physical appearance and design, The difference is in length and amount of explosive,

CORD, DETONATING, ASSEMBLY, SHIELDED, MILD (SMDC): (MS62)

Type Classification:
Refer to aircraft subsystem.
Use:
To provide an interconnecting explosive
media to the Window Cutting Assembly (WCA)
of the gunners canopy window used in the
Emergency Canopy Removal System of the AH1 series Helicopter.
Description:
Major components of the SMDC Assembly
are threaded fitting, seals, washers, inner and
outer ferrules, loaded booster shell, and silver
sheathed mild detonating cord.

Functioning:
Upon actuation of the system by arming
and firing any one of the three armed/firing
mechanisms, a detonation wave is received via
the junction manifold and is boosted by the
loaded booster shell. The stimuli from the
booster actuates the HNS within the SMDC
assembly.

NOTE
The MS47 thru MS62 are identical in
physical appearance and design, The difference is in length and amount of explosive.

INERT CONNECTORS

Type Classification:
Refer to helicopter subsystem.
Use:
Used in the AH-1 series helicopter canopy
release system as detonation transfer media
between detonating cord sequencing system
assemblies, and as a means to secure the assemblies to the aircraft structure.
Description:
Three types of inert connectors are used
as detonation transfers in the ballistic sequencing system: the tee, cross, and in-line (union).
There is one tee connector, mounted
behind the gunners seat which serves as a junction manifold for the crossover lines between
the right and left junction manifolds and the

interconnecting line assemblies from the nose


(external) armed/firing mechanism.
The system has two cross connectors, one
mounted in the upper right canopy structure
and the other mounted in the upper left canopy
structure. The cross connector mounted on the
left serves as a junction manifold for ballistic
sequencing assemblies between the pilots
armed/firing mechanism, the WCA for the gunners door, and the tee connector behind the gunners seat, The cross connector mounted on the
right serves as a junction manifold for ballistic
sequencing assemblies between the gunners
armed/firing mechanism, the WCA for the
pilots door, and the tee connector behind the
gunners seat.
There is one in-line connector mounted at
the forward bulkhead in the nose section which
serves as a connector union between the SMDC
assemblies interconnecting the nose (external)
armed/firing mechanism, and the junction manifold mounted behind the gunners seat.

Service Life:
There is no specific service life for inert
connectors because they consist of metal parts,
(Refer to TB 9-1300-385, App B). However, due
to installation torques and possible damage during SMDC line removal, all connectors should
be checked for visible wear and tear and, if damaged, replaced.
Table 5-3 shows the detonating cord assemblies, inert connectors, and detonators used in
AH-1E/F/P/S (MOD) Army helicopters.

CHAPTER 5
EMERGENCY ESCAPE SYSTEMS FOR
HELICOPTERS, AH-64
Section II. AH-64 (APACHE)
5-2. General (for Army AH-64 (Apache)
Helicopters).
a. Section 2 of this chapter contains
descriptive and technical data pertaining to the
systems used for the Army AH-64 Helicopter.
The system is used to explosively cut and eject
the windows of the canopy and doors from the
canopy and door framing structure to provide a
rapid means of escape and/or access from/to the
crew compartment.
b. The AH-64 emergency canopy jettison system consists of four linear explosive canopy severance assemblies which are installed
around the rim of the canopy windows and door
windows of the crew compartment. Also, three
armed/firing initiators (fig. 5-4) and interconnecting flexible confined detonating cord
(FCDC) and shielded mild detonating cord
(SMDC) lines. One arxned/firing initiator is
located in the pilots instrument panel to the
left of the glare shield, another is located in the
gunner/copilots right console, and the third is
in the nose of the helicopter which is located to
provide external access by rescue personnel.

Any one of the three armed/firing initiators can


be used to actuate the linear explosive escape
system.
c. The detonating cord set consists of
nine SMDC lines; five FCDC lines and four canopy severance assemblies.
This chapter
describes each assembly. Assemblies differ only
in length and explosive weight. Table 5-4 is a
list of the individual detonating cord lines, canopy severance assemblies and arming/firing initiators.
Each explosive item includes the
Department of Defense Identification Code
(DODIC), Hughes Helicopter P/N, National
Stock Number (NSN), Vendor Part Number,
Nomenclature, Drawing number, and explosive
weight.
d. This Section also contains descriptive information pertaining to the inert connectors in the AH-64 Helicopter canopy severance
system. Table 5-5 has inert items with the
National Stock Number, Vendor Part Number
(CAGE Code), Nomenclature, Drawing Number
and Quantity per helicopter.

ARMING/FIRING INITIATOR JUA-59: (MT06)

Type Classification:
Refer to aircraft subsystem.
Use:
A mechanically actuated detonator-type initiator used to actuate the emergency canopy severance system on the AH-64 helicopter.
Description:
The arming/firing initiator is a mechanically actuated percussion-type detonator consisting of a body handle assembly, firing pin, M42
primer, a demolition transfer charge assembly,
seals and a fitting port.
Functioning:
The initiator handles are turned and
pushed to actuate the initiators. The handles
can be rotated in either direction 90 to arm
the initiator. As the handle is pushed, the

spring behind the firing pin is compressed. At


0.3 in. (0.76 cm) fo travel, lock balls release the
firing pin, and it strikes the primer. The
primer ignites the lead azide transfer charge,
which in turn ignites the main charge of HNS.

CARTRIDGE, IMPULSE: (M162)

Type Classification:
Refer to Aircraft Subsystem.
Use:
To actuate a helicopter hoist cable cutter
to cut and release a steel hoist cable and its
load, in an emergency (CH-47).
Description:
The impulse cartridge is an electrically initiated cartridge. The contact pin which extends
from the firing end of the cartridge case is con-

nected to a wire within the powder chamber.


The other end of the wire is connected to the cartridge case adjacent to the steel cutting punch.
The design and contour of the cutting edge of
the captive cutting punch is such that the
punch cuts and wedges the severed ends of the
reeved portion of the hoist cable in the cutter to
prevent whiplash.

The cartridge is oriented to the correct


position in the cable cutter by a flat surface on
the rim of the cartridge case. This flat surface
ensures that the captive cutting punch strikes
the anvil of the cable cutter and wedges the
reeved end of the hoist cable.

TM 43-0001-39

Functioning:

Packaging:

When the cable cutter switch is operated,


electrical current initiates the cartridge in the
cable cutter. The expanding gas from the cartridge forces the punch against one side of the
cable as the other side of the hoist cable is
forced against the anvil in the cable cutter. The
cutting edge of the punch severs and releases
the cable and its load from the hoist. The cutting punch also secures the reeved end of the
hoist cable in the cable cutter. thus preventing
whiplash.

CARTRIDGE, IMPULSE, MARK 104 Mod 0: (M291)

Type Classification:
ATC-S LCC-A.
Refer to Aircraft subsystem.
Use:
To actuate a telescoped catapult Ejection
Seat Trainer Device. The device is used to
train pilots and crew members on procedures to
be followed when ejecting from an aircraft during an emergency.

NOTE
Impulse cartridges Mark 103 Mod 0,
Mark 104 Mod 0 and Mark 3 Mod 1 are
identical in general appearance, diameter, and length. Each of these three
types of cartridges is designed for a different purpose and contains a different quantity of propellant. Impulse cartridge
Mark 104 Mod 0 shall be used only in the
catapult of the ejection seat trainer
device for which it was designed.

6-11

TM 43-0001-39

Description
The M291 Mark 104 Mod 0 Impulse
Cartridge case has a cup-type case crimped over
a head with an O-ring gasket for sealing. A lacquer sealed 50M percussion primer is recessed
in the head. The steel igniter tube is screwed
into the head and separated from the primer by a
brass washer. A steel plug is screwed into one
end of the igniter tube and is staked to a discshaped aluminum trap having holes for the
escape of the propellant gases.
Functioning
To operate the catapult, the trainee,
seated in the ejection seat of the training
device, reaches up with both hands and pulls
the handle of the face curtain at the top of the
seat. Movement of the curtain pulls a cable
which releases a spring-loaded firing pin at the
top of the catapult. Firing of the cartridge
builds up pressure in the catapult, thrusting
the seat and occupant upward along the rails
with a minimum of 6 gs, simulating the effect
of ejecting from an aircraft. The seat decelerates to a stop at a height of less than 20 feet
and before reaching the top of the tower.

CARTRIDGE SET, IMPULSE, REDUCED CHARGE, PRIMARY: (M397)

Type Classification:
Refer to Aircraft Subsystem.
Use:
The reduced charge cartridge set is in the
Martin-Baker ejection seat and consists of one
reduced charge primary catapult cartridge and
two secondary catapult cartridges which, when
fired in sequence, provide recoil forces and ballistic gases sufficient to eject the seat and its occupant from the aircraft in an emergency.
Description:
Components of the reduced charge primary catapult cartridge are copper disc, and
brass and rubber washers, metal case, and a percussion cap primer. Components of each of the
two secondary catapult cartridges are brass
cover with a 0.75-inch hole covered with a
0.003-inch thick copper disc, rubber sealing
ring, and brass case. The secondary cartridges
require no primer or booster.
Functioning:
The ejection process is actuated when the
occupant of the ejection seat pulls a fabric
blind, to which a cable is attached, down over
his face. This action causes the cable to with-

draw a sear from the firing mechanism of the


ejection gun which releases a spring-loaded firing pin. Movement of the firing pin initiates
the percussion primer of the primary catapult
cartridge; flame then passes through two vent
openings, igniting the booster, which ignites the
main charge of the primary catapult cartridge.

When the reduced charge primary catapult cartridge fires, recoil pressure forces the
inner tube to cam the springloaded plunger out
of the seat locking latch window. This latch
retains the ejection seat in the aircraft.

Inner and intermediate tubes of the ejection gun rise together, raising the ejection seat
away from the floor of the cockpit. After 14
inches of movement, a port in the outer tube is
uncovered, exposing the lower secondary catapult cartridge at the upper half of the barrel.
After a total movement of 39.35 inches, the
intermediate tube is stopped by a flange. These
firings eject the top unit of the barrel (together
with the seat and occupant) from the cockpit;
the two extended telescoping units remain
attached to the floor of the aircraft.

CARTRIDGE, IMPULSE DROGUE: (M507)

Type Classification:
Refer to Aircraft Subsystem.
Use:
Used in a drogue gun on the MartinBaker ejection seat to automatically operate the
gun which releases two drogue parachutes after
the seat and occupant are ejected from the aircraft in an emergency escape.
Description:
Components of the drogue impulse cartridge are: metal case, percussion cap primer,
brass disc, and neoprene washer. The primer is
encased in tinfoil and requires no anvil. An
anvil is machined into the primer cavity of the
case.
Functioning:
When the ejection catapult ejects the seat
and occupant free of the aircraft, a trip rod
attached to the bulkhead removes a sear pin
from the drogue gun.

When the sear has been pulled, and a


mechanically induced delay time (determined
by sear series) has expired, the percussion cap
in the cartridge is fired by a blow from the firing pin actuated by a compression spring.
When the percussion cap fires, the gaseous
flame is forced through two vents leading to the
powder chamber, igniting the main charge. The
resultant gases expand and force a piston member out of the top of the drogue gun. As the piston leaves the gun, a shackle attached to the
top of the piston and to a drogue withdrawal
line, pulls out an 18-inch controller drogue (parachute) and a 60-inch stabilizer drogue from a
stowage compartment at the top of the seat.

ROCKET MOTORS/CATAPULTS
8-1. General
a. Rocket Motors and Rocket Catapults
are explosive devices used in various aircraft
egress systems to assist or propel the ejection

seat and its occupant from the aircraft in an


emergency situation.
b. This chapter contains technical data,
use, and description of rocket motors/rocket catapults.

ROCKET MOTOR: (M447)

Type Classification:

Functioning:

Refer to Aircraft Subsystem.


Use:
To provide stabilization and improved trajectories of the seat escape system.
Description:
The M119 tip-off compensation rocket
motor is designed for use in the Grumman OV1 Mohawk airplane on the MD-S5 seat system.
The unit provides sufficient energy to stabilize
the ejection seat in the correct attitude to
insure drogue chute deployment in the optimum direction.

The M119 rocket motor is trunnion


mounted under the seat. The nozzle is oriented
in a down position. A steel wire lanyard is
threaded into the firing mechanism and
attached to the cable dispenser which is
attached to the aircraft bulkhead.
After the lanyard is connected, the safety
pin is removed from the firing mechanism.
Once the escape system is actuated, the lanyard
automatically triggers the firing mechanism
and initiates the igniter assembly which, in
turn, ignites the propellant grain which provides the additional propulsion to the seat.

event of an emergency.
NOTE
To be replaced by CCU-921A Impulse
Cartridge MJ21 1377-01-211-7212
Description:
The cartridge assembly for the cargo hook
consists of an aluminum body, a pressure cartridge, piston, plug, washer piston retaining
ring and O-rings.
Functioning:
The cargo hook cartridge assembly is fired
electrically by actuating a switch in the crew

compartment to the release position. Ballistic


gas pressure from the cartridge forces the piston out of the body assembly thus mechanically
operating the release mechanism on the cargo
hook.
