Synopsis

From the early days of aviation, bombs typically have been carried by either fighter or bomber aircraft in the inventory. On the other hand, more and more longrange, precision-guided missiles are being produced with ranges that vary from tens to hundreds of miles. With such missiles, targets can be destroyed without placing personnel and equipment into close proximity to the targets. The mass delivery of standoff weapons could be especially advantageous during the early phases of an air campaign. This study considers the use of cargo aircraft for carrying and launching bombs and missiles. It has discussed many aspects of a Cargo Aircraft Bombing System (CABS) and provided an overall view. The intention of the study was not to complete design details about CABS, but rather to identify preliminary design concepts that need to be considered in a CABS. The study considered and provided background information on four carrying platforms including the C-17, C-141, C-130 and C-5, and four types of precision guided missiles including JSOW, JASSM, SLAM-ER and LOCAAS. Based on the four platforms and four missiles, particular issues were considered concerning systems and three preliminary carriage and release designs have been proposed.
