Q

What is the Hellfire LM-ESAF arming sequence?

A
  • Power on;
  • successfully passes BIT;
  • (microcontroller) detects umbilical separation and arm power;
  • (microcontroller) detects first motion;
  • (microcontroller) verifies first motion (> 7g’s for > 6m sec);
  • (AGS circuit) verifies first motion (> 8g’s);
  • (microcontroller) calculates safe separation distance of 400m within 3.2 seconds;
  • (AGS circuit) times minimum safe separation Arm Delay Time of 1.8 seconds;
  • (FPGA) counts down Arm Delay Time (1.9 sec. min)
  • receives “Arm” command from Controller and charges the FMs (i.e., arms).
