Cobham’s next generation pneumatic weapons carriage and release systems encompass advanced high pressure pneumatic technology in place of legacy pyrotechnic systems of suspension and release hardware. Cobham’s pneumatic ejection rack technology, which eliminates high operational and support costs while increasing reliability and consistency, is particularly well suited to multi-rack systems eliminating all rack related flight line activities except weapons loading. Various configurations of the self-charging equipment can be designed depending on weapons load out requirements and intended aircraft platform.
The BRU-61/A Small Diameter Bomb Carriage System is capable of ejecting weapons at supersonic speeds, is a Multi-Stores Carriage System representing the latest design in pneumatic ejection technology.
The Pneumatic Bomb Ejection Rack (PBER) is a fully pneumatic rack capable of releasing stores of up to 2,500 lb. Its unique design features allow large stores to be carried in closer proximity to each other on an aircraft, increasing mission flexibility.
The BRU-46Pn Pneumatic Bomb Rack utilizes a cleaner, safer and more reliable technology offering substantial cost savings and other improvements over legacy pyrotechnic systems. It can deliver stores up to and including 1,450 lb.
The BRU-47Pn Pneumatic Bomb Rack is capable of releasing stores of up to 5,000 lb. It has been subjected to significant qualification and flight trials to demonstrate its capability, and enhances existing platforms.
The Bomb Ejection Systems pneumatic power modules provide pneumatic energy sources to successfully unlock weapon release linkages and extend ejector pistons of bomb ejection systems on a variety of military aircraft.
