The Composite Case Captive Carry Qualification (C4Q) Program was conceived to reduce the risk of employing composite materials on air-launched missiles by demonstrating that the resultant case technology is robust enough to withstand a tactical aircraft flight. This effort entails the design, the fabrication, and the ground and flight testing of a captive air training missile (CATM) with a composite primary structure. This configuration, which is commonly referred to as the composite 'blue tube,' maintains the form, fit, and function of the CATM-9M with the MDU-27A/A hardware and is designed to withstand the induced load and vibration environments of the F/A-18C/D. This program substantiates that a high degree of confidence can be placed in the composite material's intrinsic properties and provides confidence that a timely flight clearance can be obtained for a weapon that incorporates composite technology.
