ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic actuation assembly for use in an ejection system capable of unlocking and forcibly ejecting stores from racks mounted on an aircraft or similar weapon carrier. The actuation assembly including a primary valve and release ram attached to one-another for joint, reciprocating movement along a common longitudinal axis between closed and open positions. A solenoid control valve initiates movement of the primary valve by creating a pressure imbalance across the primary valve member. Pressurized gas is caused to vent to the atmosphere, allowing the primary valve member to move the attached release ram into engagement with a mechanism capable of unlocking the hooks before moving thrust pistons to forcibly eject the unlocked stores.
