Research on Safety Evaluation Method for Braking and Inertial Running out of Air-to-Air Missile on Aircraft Carrier

Abstract

The safety of the pyrotechnic and power components of air-to-air missiles under braking and inertial running out conditions is one of the key factors that restrict the launch of air-to-air missiles on aircraft carriers. How-ever, there is no quantitative method for evaluating the safety of ammunition under braking and inertial running out conditions in practical applications. Based on the FLL ignition engineering criterion, relying on standard part test of large sample and whole missile braking and inertial running out test of small sample, a safety evaluation method of braking and inertial running out for ammunition is established, and the technical issue of braking and inertial running out for ammunition safety that can not be quantitative evaluated is resolved. An example of evaluating computation is showed together with the data from braking and inertial running out test, and the evaluation results are in good agreement with the actual test findings.
