OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION OF F-l00/F-105 CAPABILITY, TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES FOR AERIAL DELIVERY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS

摘要

During July 1963, flight tests were performed by the USAF Fighter Weapons School (TR&D Division), Nellis AFB, Nevada, to develop a system for the aerial delivery of photographic prints from the F-100 and F-105 type aircraft. The test was performed in three phases - functional, ballistic, and tactics and technique phase - which consisted of a total of sixty-one drops.nThe finalized aerial delivery system consisted of a modified dart target recovery chute canister with the pilot chute of an F-105 drag chute attached. A modified LAU-10/A Zuni Rocket Launcher was used to carry and launch the delivery containers.
