Problem Statement
• Design an Adjunct Seeker Deployment
Mechanism (ASDM) that will deploy an
Infrared (IR) seeker in the final stages of
missile flight.
• Mechanism must:
– Minimize changes to existing airframe
– Minimize the drag on the missile
– Maximize the field of regard (FOR) of the
seeker
Customer Needs I
• Mitigate new threats
• Utilize existing components
– Optimized for different system
• Minimize changes to proven systems
– Autopilot
– Airframe
• Identify trades and risks of proposed
design
• Implement a reliable design
Customer Needs II
• Use an existing IR Seeker
• Minimize System Weight and Volume
• Survive Thermal Environment
– Storage
– Flight
• Rapid Deployment

Design Components
• Deployment method
– Must meet deployment time restrictions
• Seeker orientation
– Target must be visible until impact
• Door mechanism
– Affects previous design characteristics
Deployment Mechanism
• pivots at back of seeker
• slides into cavity
• directional hooks
• scissor drive
• lateral slide drive track system
• lateral pivot arm
• ramp
• spring
Seeker Orientation
• angled to maximize to FOR
• sits inside of enlarged nosecone
• Normal to missile circuit cards
• seeker sits inside and looks at a
prism
• nosecone / teardrop
• external to maximize FOR
• fixed seeker to series of mirrors
• lateral to longitudinal axis
• angled to longitudinal axis
Door Mechanism
•
explodes
•
angles up w/ a foldable seal
•
domed cover that stores within missile depression
•
split door slides to sides
•
single door slides to side
•
single door slides to back
•
shaped door to facilitate tear drop
•
material that shatters with voltage or force
•
shot gun closure
•
slowly introduce into airstream to reduce shock
•
push up protective dome
•
bottom seal gasket
Concept Selection
Concept
Pros
Cons
angled to maximize to FOR
-Maximizes use of FOR
-Does maximum FOR allow
best Aero profile?
sits inside of enlarged nosecone
-Maximizes use of FOR
-Mechanical shocks from
nosecone?
-Interfere with RF Patterns.
-Change to current design
autopilot to compensate.
Normal to missile circuit cards
-Minimal use of overall
volume
-Low motion, low
deployment time
-2 of 3 seekers potentially
useless
-Does not maximize FOR
w/o additional movement
seeker sits inside and looks at a prism
-less shock to seeker
-Difficult to maximize FOR?
