The PWU-5/A Modular Internal Spray System (MISS) has been designed and developed to fit ten cargo/utility-type aircraft, including the C-47, C-54, C-123, and C-130. The system was designed to disseminate herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers in chemical solution, suspension or slurry form, at ground deposition rates from 3 ounces/ acre to 3 gallons/acre with a minimum swath width of 2 times the applicable aircraft wing span. The system is completely self-supporting, requiring no aircraft power, and includes provisions for suction filling, agent recirculation/agitation, dissemination, system flushing, aircraft washdown, and emergency dumping of the full agent payload. The system used aerospace adhesive to secure all external hardware, allowing system installation with minimal aircraft modification. A complete C-123K MISS was installed and flight tested at Eglin Air Force Base, Flordia. The system was subjected to the complete flight envelope and functioned as designed.
