CARTRIDGE, AIRCRAFT FIRE EXTINGUISHER (M182)

Type Classification:

Refer to associated aircraft subsystem.

Use:

To release fire extinguishing fluid into thearea surrounding an aircraft engine in theevent of a fire.

Description:

The cartridge consists of a machined brasscasing with a hexagonal midsection and athreaded end enclosing a pair of electrically-fired DuPont E-92 type squibs, placed side byside. The output end of the cartridge iscrimped over a brass slug,

Each squib is a self-contained unit con-tained in a thin shell of bronze alloy, 0.272-inch

in diameter, and with an integrally-formed con-vex head.

In the assembly one lead wire of eachsquib is brought through a phenolic insulatorand soldered to a common center contact, Theinsulator is sealed in place by crimping the cas-ing over its edge, The other wire of each squibis brought into electrical contact with the car-tridge casing. Joined in parallel to common elec-trical contacts, both squibs fire simultaneously.

Each squib creates sufficient force to rup-ture the frangible disc in the valve body of thecontainer.

The cartridge is seated in the firing headof the valve body fixed to the underside of theextinguishing fluid container, This equipmentis secured within an access pocket in the wingadjacent to the engine area it is to protect.

2-3

TM 43-0001-39

Functioning

An insulated plug, attached to the firinghead of the container, connects with the air-craft electric supply and to a firing switch inthe pilot’s compartment. When the firingswitch is actuated, electric current causes thesquibs to fire, creating gas pressure which pro-pels the slug toward the seal disc, The slugpierces the segmented frangible seal disc in theexit valve body. The fluid (CF2Br2 or CF3Br),which has been held under gas pressure (nitro-gen) in the container, is thereby released, andflows from the fluid container in the wingaccess pocket to the distributing nozzles in theengine area.

Gas, developed by the extinguishingagent, reduces the oxygen content in the enginearea to a point where combustion cannot be sup-ported, thus quenching the fire.

Recommended firing current is 8 amperes.

Refer to aircraft subsystem.

Use:

To release fire extinguishing agent intothe area surrounding an aircraft engine in theevent of a fire.

NOTE

To be replaced by MH92.

Description:

The aircraft fire extinguisher cartridgewhich is electrically initiated, consists of an alu-minum hexagonal midsection with a threadedend, enclosing an electrically fired squib explo-sive. Two threaded electrical connectors, one ofwhich is insulated from the body of the car-

tridge, provides the means for completing theelectrical circuit through a grounded bridge-wire to the aircraft electrical system.

The aircraft fire extinguisher cartridge isthreaded into the discharge valve body of thefire extinguishing agent container, This equip-ment is secured within an access area aboveand between the engines.

Functioning

When the fire control switch is operated,electric current causes the squib to fire, creat-ing gas pressure which separates the splitsleeve from the housing. When the split sleeveseparates, pressure from the fire extinguisheragent then is released and flows from the con-tainer to the distributing nozzles in the enginearea.

Gas developed by the extinguishing agentreduces the oxygen content in the engine areato a point where combustion cannot be sup-ported, thus quenching the fire.

CUTTERS

3-1. General

A cutter is a cartridge or propellant actu-ated device that is used in aerial delivery sys-tems for cargo, helicopter cargo and rescuehoist cable systems and drone recovery sys-tems. Cutters are classified in accordance withthe following characteristics: (1) Method ofActuation - mechanical or electrical, (2)Function Time - nondelay or delay.

3-2. Operation

spring and the release of the firing pin areaccomplished with one motion when the firingpin moves rearward. The sear moves outwardto the cutter body section having an enlargedinternal diameter, which then permits the searto move sideward to release the firing pin. Thefiring pin is propelled forward under the actionof the spring force and strikes the primer,which ignites the delay element, if applicable,then the propellant. Under the force of the pro-pellant gas pressure, the cutter blade ispropelled onto the anvil severing the wires orcable.

a. Actuation of the mechanical cutter is b. Function of electrically or mechani-accomplished by applying a pull force to thecable or lanyard with sear attached, The lan-

cally initiated cutters is basically the same.The cutters have a specific nondelay or delay

yard sear is engaged in the firing pin; therefore,the pull of the lanyard applies a load to the fir-

time and shall be used only for their designed

ing pin spring. Compression of the firing pinapplication.

Description:

The M21 reefing line cutter is a cartridgeactuated, one shot, disposable mechanical unitwith the cartridge sealed internally, Major com-ponents consist of case, firing pin assembly, lan-yard, knife assembly delay assembly and cotterpin.

A drogue chute is used to pull the load out ofthe delivery aircraft and to deploy the mainchute, which inflates in a reefed configurationThe deployment of the main chute applies a ten-sile force to the lanyard assembly, which isattached to the firing pin. Compression of thefiring pin spring and release of the firing pinare accomplished with the same motion. Thepotential energy stored in the spring propelsthe firing pin forward, striking the primer. Theflash of the primer ignites the 2-second pyro-technic delay mix which, in turn, sets off the pro-pellant charge behind the cutter blade assembly.

Under the force of the propellant gas pres-sure, the cutter blade separates from the knife-delay assembly and is propelled forward in thebore of the housing The impact of the blade onthe anvil severs the nylon reefing line insertedin the cutter, allowing full deployment of themain parachute.

CUTTER, ASSEMBLY P/N FTL 3648-2 (MU03)



Use:

Designed for interim high altitude para-chute delivery systems.

Description:

The cutter contains a thermal battery elec-trically initiated cartridge, a mechanical firingpin, steel cutter, and aluminum body.

Functioning:

When the ASPSU is dropped from the air-craft, a mechanical firing pin mechanism is actu-

ated by a pull from a static line attached to theaircraft. This action cocks and releases a firingpin, which impacts the percussion primer of thethermal battery. The thermal battery fires andproduces 19 volts within 0.500 second and main-tains a voltage between 19 and 35 volts for aminimum of 120 seconds, with a 28-milli-ampere current drain. This energy is stored incapacitors within the cutter and altitude sensormodules until the preselected altitude isreached. At that time the firing circuit is trig-gered, and an electric current pulse of at least7.65 amperes is applied to the cartridge-actuated cutter. The cutter then fires, severingthe 9,000-pound (40.03kN)-test woven nylonline. The G-12 main parachute is then allowedto open.

CUTTER, DELAY, PROPELLANT ACTUATED: (MU11)



Use:

To sever a nylon reefing line which allowsthe parachute to fully deploy The cutter isinstalled in a mounting bracket which isattached to the parachute.

Description:

The MU11 reefing line cutter is a car-tridge actuated, one shot, disposable mechani-cal unit with the cartridge sealed internally.Major components consist of case, firing pinassembly, lanyard, knife assembly, delay assem-bly and cotter pin.

Functioning:

A drogue chute is used to pull the load outof the delivery aircraft and to deploy the mainchute, which inflates in a reefed configuration.The deployment of the main chute applies a ten-sile force to the lanyard assembly which isattached to the firing pin. Compression of thefiring pin spring and release of the firing pinare accomplished with the same motion. Thepotential energy stored in the spring propels

the firing pin forward, striking the primer. Theflash of the primer ignites the four-second pyro-technic delay mix which, in turn, sets off the pro-pellant charge behind the cutter blade assembly.

Under the force of the propellant gas pres-sure, the cutter blade separates from the knife-delay assembly and is propelled forward in thebore of the housing. The impact of the blade onthe anvil severs the nylon reefing line insertedin the cutter, allowing full deployment of themain parachute.

which allows the parachute to release upon land-ing.

4-7

TM 43-0001-39

When the cargo is jettisoned from the air-craft, parachute deployment activates the firingmechanism. This compresses a spring behindthe firing pin. The stored energy of the com-pressed spring drives the firing pin into theM42 percussion primer of the M252 cartridge.

Primer initiation ignites an A1A composi-tion igniter charge adjacent to the delaycolumn. Upon the elapse of approximately 20seconds, the delay mix ignites the filler and out-put charge; the resulting gases rotate the spin-ner on the release mechanism which releasesthe ground disconnect pin attached to thecatch. Upon ground contact (no load on therelease), the rotated spinner allows the latchholding the cargo to release. Thus, the para-chute is prevented from dragging or causingthe cargo to tumble along the ground.

5-1. General (for Army AH-1 (Cobra)Helicopter)

a. Section I of this chapter contains des-criptive and technical data pertaining to sys-tems used for the Army AH1E-F/P/S (MOD)Helicopter Personnel Emergency EscapeSystems. Each system is used to explosively cutthe windows of the canopy and doors from thecanopy support structure to provide a rapidmeans of escape/access to/from the crew com-partment.

b. The system consists of four linearexplosive window cutting assemblies (WCA)which are installed around the rim of the can-opy and door windows of the crew compartment(fig. 5-1), three armed/firing mechanisms, andinterconnecting flexible confined detonatingcords (FCED) and rigid shielded mild detonat-ing cord (SMDC) lines (fig. 5-2). One armed/fir-

ing mechanism is located in the pilot’sinstrument panel to the left of the glare shield,another is located in the gunner/copilot’s rightconsole, and the third is in the nose of the heli-copter located to provide external access by res-cue personnel, Any one of the three armed/fir-ing mechanisms can be used to actuate thelinear explosive escape system.

c. The detonating cord set consists ofeight SMDC assemblies, two FCDC assembliesand four WCA assemblies. Each type assemblyis described in this section. Individual detonat-ing cord lines are listed in table 5-1. Table 5-2lists these components and their location andfunction. Table 5-3 lists detonating cord assem-blies used in AH-1 series Army helicopters.

d. Section I also contains descriptive infor-mation pertaining to the inert connectors usedin the helicopter canopy removal system.

CORD, DETONATING, ASSEMBLY, FLEXIBLE CONFINED (FCDC) (GUNNER): (MD15)



Use:

To provide and interconnecting explosivemedia to the Window Cutting Assembly (WCA)of the gunner’s canopy door used in theEmergency Canopy Removal System of the AH-1 series Helicopter.

Description:

Major components of the FCDC assemblyare housing, threaded fittings, seals, loadedcharge case, lead sheath assembly, and pre-scribed amounts of Hexanitrostilbene (HNS).This FCDC lead sheathed assembly is located in

the canopy between the left junction manifoldand the adapter to the WCA in the gunner’s can-opy door.

NOTE

The MD15 is identical in design and physi-cal appearance to the MD16, The differ-ence is in length and amount of explosive,

Functioning

When any one of the three armed/firingmechanisms is actuated, the FCDC linereceives a detonating stimulus via a junctionmanifold and transmits it to the WCA in thegunner’s canopy door.

CORD, DETONATING, ASSEMBLY, SHIELDED MILD (SMDC): (MD17)



Use:

To provide an interconnecting explosivemedia to the Window Cutting Assembly (WCA)of the pilot’s canopy door used in theEmergency Canopy Removal System of the AH-1 series Helicopter,

Description:

Major components of the FCDC Assemblyare (MD17) are threaded fittings, seals wash-ers, inner and outer ferrules, loaded booster

shell, and silver sheathed mild detonating cord.This assembly is located between the left junc-tion manifold and the WCA in the pilot’s can-opy door.

Functioning:

Upon actuation of the system by armingand firing any one of the three armed/firingmechanisms, a detonation wave is received viathe left junction manifold and is boosted by theloaded booster shell. The stimuli from thebooster actuates the HNS within the SMDCassembly to the adapter of the pilot’s canopyWCA.
