The CAD/PAD Department at the Indian Head Division, NSWC in conjunction with the Joint CAD/PAD Program, conducted a series of five ACES II ejection seat tests using the CKU-5C/A rocket catapult which has been developed to replace the current CKU-5B/A rocket catapult. The system tests included F-15, F-16, and A-10 configuration ACES II ejection seats with large (JPATS Case 6) and small (LOIS) anthropometric manikins that represented test conditions to evaluate the system compatibility of the revised rocket catapult design. Highlights of the system sled tests results, conducted by Goodrich AIP at the Hurricane Mesa Test Facility, and the Holloman Air Force Base High Speed Test Track are reviewed and key results presented. These results indicate acceptable system performance of the ACES II ejection seat with the upgraded CKU-5C/A rocket catapult. Figure 1 is a test sequence photo from the A-10 CKU-5C/A system test.
