SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION THE M-130 IS A DISPENSER SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES ARMY AIRCRAFT WITH EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST HOSTILE RADAR GUIDED MISSILE AND GUN THREATS. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO DISPENSE UP TO 30 M-1 CHAFF CARTRIDGES. WHEN DISPENSING CHAFF, THE M-130 IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST PULSE RADARS OPERATING IN THE ____ TO ____ GHz FREQUENCY RANGE AND REDUCES OR ELIMINATES THE ENEMY’S ABILITY TO HIT AND DESTROY AIRCRAFT BY USE OF RADAR-CONTROLLED, ANTI-AIRCRAFT WEAPONS.

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.) THE COUNTER WILL INDICATE THE NUMBER OF CHAFFS REMAINING IN THE PAYLOAD MODULE ASSEMBLY  IF SET TO THE MAN POSITION, A SINGLE CHAFF CARTRIDGE WILL FIRE EACH TIME THE WAS SWITCH IS PULLED TO THE 6 O’CLOCK POSITION  IF SET TO THE PGRM POSITION, THE NUMBER AND INTERVAL OF CHAFF SET ON THE ELECTRONICS MODULE WILL FIRE ON A SINGLE ACTIVATION OF THE WAS SWITCH  CAUTION  CAUTION: UNLESS SYSTEM TESTING IS IN PROGRESS, THE SWITCH SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED IN THE ARM POSITION BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT IS IN FLIGHT.  THE AMBER ARM LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SAFE/ARM SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE ARM POSITION AND THE SAFETY PIN IS REMOVED FROM THE SAFETY SWITCH IN THE EM

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.) ELECTRONICS MODULE ASSEMBLY (EM)  THE EM IS MOUNTED TO THE FORWARD LEFT SIDE OF TAIL BOOM. THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED TO THE SURFACE OF THE EM.

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.)  IT CONTAINS A PROGRAMMER WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE SETTING OF A CHAFF BURST NUMBER, CHAFF SALVO NUMBER, CHAFF BURST INTERVAL, AND CHAFF SALVO INTERVAL  CABLE ASSEMBLY WHICH INCLUDES A 28 VDC SUPPLY RECEPTACLE  HOLE FOR SAFETY PIN/FLAG ASSEMBLY.

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.)  CHAFF PROGRAMMING INFORMATION  SALVO COUNT:- PROGRAMS THE NUMBER OF SALVOS (A SALVO IS THE SAME A NUMBER OF BURSTS)  SALVO INTERVAL:- PROGRAMS THE TIME IN SECONDS BETWEEN SALVOS  BURST COUNT: - PROGRAMS THE NUMBER OF CHAFF CARTRIDGES THAT ARE FIRED IN ONE SALVO.  BURST INTERVAL: - PROGRAMS THE TIME INTERVAL IN TENTHS OF A SECOND BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL CHAFF CARTRIDGE FIRING WITHIN A SALVO.

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.) DISPENSER ASSEMBLY  THIS COMPONENT IS ATTACHED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE ELECTRONIC MODULE.  IT IS CONNECTED TO THE EM THROUGH ELECTRICAL CABLING.  IT CONTAINS THE BEECH ASSEMBLY, RESET SWITCH, SELECTOR SWITCH (C OR F), FLARE SENSOR, AND HOUSING

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER FUNCTION/LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (cont.) PAYLOAD MODULE ASSEMBLY  ATTACHES TO THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY  CONSISTS OF A PAYLOAD MODULE AND RETAINING PLATE  THE MODULE HAS CHAMBERS FOR 30 M-1 CHAFF CARTRIDGES (THE CHAFF SHOWN REPRESENTS LESS THAN AN INCH FROM THE CARTRIDGE)  CHAFF CONSIST OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF METALLIC FIBERGLASS #1 POSITION

Preflight

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER PREFLIGHT  VISUALLY INSPECT THE DISPENSER FOR LOOSE FASTENERS, MOUNTING BOLTS, AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  ENSURE THE NUMBER SHOWN IN THE DCP COUNTER CORRESPONDS TO THE NUMBER OF CHAFF IN THE PAYLOAD MODULE

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER PREFLIGHT  CONFIRM CHAFF/FLARE (C-F) SELECTOR SWITCH ON THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY IS SET TO THE CHAFF (C) MODE  CONFIRM PREPLANNED CHAFF PROGRAM IS PROPERLY SET ON EM  REMOVE THE SAFETY PIN FROM THE EM

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER PREFLIGHT  ENSURE THE THE SAFE/ARM SWITCH IS SET TO SAFE  PRESS TO TEST THE ARM LIGHT

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER PREFLIGHT  THE FINAL CHECK IS TO VERIFY THE THE MAN/PGRM SWITCH IS IN THE MANUAL POSITION. IT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MAN POSITION UNTIL THE SAFE/ARM SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE ARM POSITION AFTER TAKEOFF

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER DOCTRINE AND TACTICS IN FLIGHT TACTICS  AFTER THE AIRCRAFT IS AIRBORNE, THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER ASSUMES THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ARMING THE M-130 DISPENSER  FIRST, ENSURE THE MAN/PGRM SWITCH IS IN THE MAN POSITION  SECOND, THE SAFE/ARM SWITCH IS PLACE IN THE ARM POSITION  NEXT, THE MAN/PGRM SWITCH IS PLACE IN THE PGRM POSITION

Doctrine and Tactics

M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER DOCTRINE AND TACTICS THREAT MANEUVERING –PLACE THE THREAT AT THE 3 or 9 O’CLOCK POSITION –WITHIN 2 SECONDS, ACTIVATE CHAFF IN THE PGRM MODE –DEPLOY TO THE AIRCRAFT TO A MASK OR DRIVE THE AIRCRAFT THE MAX EFFECTIVE RANGE (MER) OF THE WEAPON SYSTEM –IF THE THREAT CONTINUES TO TRACK, JINK AND CHAFF EVERY 3-5 SECONDS

Shutdown Procedures

RETURN TO MENU M-130 CHAFF DISPENSER SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES AIRCRAFT COMMANDER ENSURES THAT THE M-130 IS DISARMED AND MADE SAFE PRIOR TO LANDING REINSTALL SAFETY PIN AND FLAG ASSEMBLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHUTDOWN
