MIL-DTL-32183

Abstract

This specification establishes the requirement for the refurbishment (rework) of the CKU-5C/A rocket catapults (ROCAT) for aircraft ejection seat assemblies. This specification includes only the requirements for restoration of salvageable hardware. All other requirements for the CKU-5C/A ROCAT are specified in the new unit specification, MIL-DTL-32127 and drawing 512-174-0068. The earlier versions of CKU-5C/A ROCAT, the CKU-5/A/A and CKU-5B/A, may be converted to the CKU-5C/A configuration during the rework. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The CKU-5C/A Aircraft Ejection Seat Catapult Rework Assembly composed of new, reused, restored, and modified components as applicable and as described herein and when loaded with propellant, in accordance with MIL-DTL-32124 Type IV and drawing 512-174-0071 and a CCU-22B/A Impulse Cartridge, drawing 512-174-0069, will produce the catapult CKU-5C/A assembly. The catapult assembly is to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-32127 and is intended to be used in conjunction with other propellant actuated devices in aircrew emergency escape systems used in jet aircraft. The CKU-5C/A is designed for use in military aircraft, and has no commercial application. <br>
