ABSTRACT:
The weapon release assembly includes an articulate structure capable of being mounted at a desired position on an aircraft to triaxially support and restrain movement of a launchable weapon relative to the aircraft, until it is desired to launch the weapon. When the assembly is actuated to launch the weapon, the weapon is moved outwardly along a path normal to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft to a desired position where it is released from the system at a desired velocity. Operation of the assembly may be by either hot or cold gas. All forces arising from use of the assembly in supporting the weapon and launching the latter are transmitted directly to the aircraft on which the assembly is mounted. The assembly by buffering the actuating gas, is susceptible to being used to launch weapons of various weights at the same terminal velocity without adjustments or corrections being made to the assembly. Preloading of weapon on the assembly may be accomplished either manually or automatically.
