Adaptor for air combat maneuvering instrument pod for fighter and trainer aircrafts

摘要

Air combat maneuvering Instrument pods plays a vital role in capturing/recording flight envelope of fighter/trainer aircraft in typical combat scenario. The recorded data are used for real time / post flight analysis. The post flight data analysis requires various data from different equipment"s; in this case all these instruments are encased in a shell. Attaching this pod into the aircraft is a challenging task, because this pod is in the shape of a missile and the missiles were commonly attached to the aircraft by launchers.ie attaching these pod to an aircraft is possible only when there is compatibility between aircraft launcher and pod. In aircraft only one or two stations are available for missiles. So installations of Air combat maneuvering instrument pod become a difficult task without any new inventions. The newly invented adaptor is unique in design, which caters all the needs of air combat maneuvering instrument pod integration to the aircraft. The adaptor enables air combat instrument adaptation under the wing and fuselage stations of Fighter or Trainer aircrafts like regular stores under NATO 14"suspension system. The adaptor gives additional flexibility to carry representative missiles under wing or fuselage of Fighter / Trainer aircrafts like regular stores under NATO 14"suspension system for flight test trials.
