THE ROCKETEER THURSDAY, 0cr08ER 19, 1995 NAVAL AIR WEAPONS STATION, CHINA lAKE Va. 51, No. 21 Self-protection jammer goes to fleet in record time 5 .. Sf'''I 1 3 M·! '*F!' By Susan Hennigan Scienhlic & Technical DocumenloHon C hina Lake's record of quick- response accomplishments goes back to World War II, when col- laborative efforts with Caltech made pos- sible the design, development, testing and production of Holy Moses five-inch rock- et weapons within a matter ofmonths. This summer China Lake played a major role in yet another quick-response effort. In the brief span of six weeks, the Navy/industrial team collaborative ven- ture saw the deployment of the Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) to the fleet in record time - from task assign- ment in June to combat use over Bosnia in August. The ability to respond quickly to an emergency need requires continuous close interaction with thefleet and "corporate memory" that knows what will work and what has been tried. Perhaps thefact that China Lake was created in a wartime environment and chartered to work time-criticalproblems made a lasting impression on the Stations way ofoperation. - from "Notable Achievements of the Naval Weapons Center," 1990 The ASPJ is a defensive electronic countermeasures system used for radio- frequency jamming. By suppressing sur- face-to-air missiles, the ASPJ increases aircraft survivability. Begun in 1976, the ASPJ was the intended product of a major acquisition program, developed for usc in Navy F/A-18 and F-14 and Air Force F-16 aircraft. This program was canceled by DoD in December 1992. Recent reactivation of the program as a Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) requirement resulted in a substantial technical achievement that involved tak- ing an Qff-the-shelf system with a demonstrated capability, redesigning the installation kit and reintegrating the sys- tem into platforms (namely, the F/A-18C Photo by BonyMcDc:JOOid CLPP 50th--Dan Goss, headof the Airframe, OrdnofJce & Propulsion Division (behind barbecue/, took his tum flipping hamburgers at Saturday's Chino lake Pdot Plant anniversarycelebration, He was assisted by Skip Bennett, headofstaff, an~Jon J{$ R&E directo~.&.lmioyed the meal.

Fiscal Year 1995. RAdm. Dana B. McKinney, NAWCWPNS Commander, said "Our people should be proud of all their accomplishments." In releasing the long list of what was going well for all sites of the Weapons Division, McKinney said he wanted to share with the employees the informa- tion he had forwarded to the Naval Air Systems Command on an outstanding year ofaccomplishments. From the quick reaction integration, test and evaluation of the Airborne Self- Protection Jammer (ASPJ) on Marine Corps F/A-18s used in Bosnia to the support of more than 6,350 major test activities and accumulation of more than I0,700 mishap-free flying hours; it was a very good year. Other notable performances during the recently ended fiscal year included the following: Sidewinder - Guidance and control section retrofit (AIM-9M-8/9); Phoenix - Engineering support for FSU-1OA fuze production, anti-ballistic missile role, DKT-64 telemetry kit design deficiency correction, fleet exer- cise support; Tomahawk Block IV contract award; Rolling Airframe Missile initial Please see LIST, Page 8 , OCR Text: 24 THE ROCKETEER October 19, 1995 Systems • Peripherals • Printers • Software Everyday Low Prices COMPLETE 1 3MHz Pentium - 133MHz Pentium Motherboard PCI 1MB Video Card On-Board IDE 1 /0 1GB IDE Hard Drive "" _,.,._.. 8MB RAM .
