This report details the limited flight evaluation to certify and characterize the Reconfigurable Airborne Sensor, Communications and Laser (RASCAL) pod on the F-16. The primary objective was to fly an Air Force SEEK EAGLE Office (AFSEO) Compatibility Flight Profile (CFP) in support of flight certification for the RASCAL pod on the F-16. The secondary objectives was to characterize the internal environment of the RASCAL pod in support of various avionics systems in future testing. The RASCAL pod was a modified SUU-20 weapons delivery pod which was designed to carry experimental flight test equipment to support ongoing Test Management Program (fMP) projects sponsored by the USAF Test Pilot School (fPS) and the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). This testing was conducted under TPS Job Order Number MT080800 and was flown 15- 19 September 2008. This flight test program consisted of 7 sorties (7.5 flight hours) conducted in R-2508 and R-2515 airspace. The CFP was completed during the first two sorties, and the 412 Test Wing issued a flight clearance under the recommendation of AFSEO. All internal environment characterization points were completed with specific results geared towards future users located in the body of the report.
