SBIR-STTR Award

HERBLANE proposes to develop a concept and a system design for the aircraft constrained ejection system (ACES). The firm will base this concept and design on its Controlled Weapons Ejection System (CWES). The CWES will be redesigned and adapted for the safe carriage and ejection of JSF (all versions and both Boeing and Lockheed Martin models), and F-18E\F stores including JDAM, JSOW, and AMRAAM. Commercial reusable space shuttle. Commercial aircraft external fuel tank emergency jettison.

Herblane Industries has developed an ACES concept that is less costly and more effective than pyrotechnic bomb racks. The system will be adaptable for present and planned combat aircraft, and will reliably eject more types of weapons over a wider range of flight conditions. This simpler, cleaner, lighter ACES bomb rack will provide higher performance and allow for many more firings between scheduled maintenance checks.
