Cobham can offer a complete on weapon control actuation system
utilising pneumatic, pyrotechnic or electromechanical power
sources. These systems can be designed and packaged to fit even the
most challenging envelopes and capabilities. Additionally,
Cobham can provide the heart of the control system. Cobham's
GBU Manifold Assembly is a cold gas, pneumatic fin actuation
control subsystem that is used to control the movement of canard
fins on laser guided bombs, allowing the weapon to adjust position
in flight and track to the target.
Cobham's wing and tail deployment actuation systems rapidly
deploy to mitigate weapon stability issues and increase range of
stand-off, smart weapons. Pneumatic and pyrotechnic systems
offer high potential energy solutions at low cost and long storage
life. Once the weapon is away from the aircraft, Cobham's pneumatic
wing & tail actuators provide up to 15,000 psi of
pneumatic pressure to rapidly deploy the wings and tail fin into
their full open position for flight in as little as 1/10 of a
second.
With its in-house broad system capability, Cobham can offer a
more comprehensive solution for your weapons control and
actuation needs.
