Load up on loading tips.Loading Tool Use the loading tool for loading and unloading rockets. Without the tool, you could jam the rocket in its tube against the rocket stop. Then, when you have to move it forward to lock it in place, the end shield may be punctured and the igniter wire and weather seal damaged. That makes the rocket unusable because of electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge. and the hazard of electromagnetic radiation electromagnetic radiation, energy radiated in the form of a wave as a result of the motion of electric charges. A moving charge gives rise to a magnetic field, and if the motion is changing (accelerated), then the magnetic field varies and in turn produces an (EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) The emanation of energy from everything in the universe. Although the EMR from electrical and electronic devices is typically measured for practical, every-day situations, every object, including humans, emanates energy. ) to ammo and rockets. The loading tool is something you fabricate at the unit with 1-in inside diameter rubber hose with a maximum outside diameter of of 1 3/8 inch. You can get the hose with NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 4720-00-415-1362. You will also need a 14-in piece of 1-in wooden dowel dowel /dow·el/ (dou´'l) a peg or pin for fastening an artificial crown or core to a natural tooth root, or affixing a die to a working model for construction of a crown, inlay, or partial denture. and a hose clamp. You will need to buy the dowel and hose clamp at your local home improvement center. Instructions for putting the tool together are in Appendix E-1 of TM 9-1055-460-13&P and in the TM for the aircraft the launcher is installed on. Each forward area refueling point should have at least two loading tools. End Shields If you do damage a rocket end shield, contact your ammunition logistics/quality assurance representative or turn in the rocket to the ammo supply point. Units aren't authorized to replace end shields on their own. Fin Restraint Bands/EMR Shield Don't throw away EMR shields on the MOD 3 rocket motors or fin restraint bands on all other motor mods. You will need to reuse the shields or bands when you unload unfired rockets. |
