16 -- IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AV-8B ESCAPE SYSTEM POC Contact Philip E. Plotkin, AIR-2.4.2.5.3, (301) 757-6970 The Naval Air Systems Command intends to procure a performance improvement program for the T/AV-8B Escape System (SJU-4/A,13/A and 14/A). The program consists of analyzing various concepts to achieve the following goals: reducing risk of injury in low altitude ejections between 180 and 245 KEAS; reducing life cycle costs; reducing risk of injury at all other speeds; maintaining the current ejection envelope; and accomplishing better load, stability and restraint management for the aircrew population. Those concepts determined to result in highest net performance improvement, will be developed for the SJU-4/A,13/A and 14/A. The program includes design, integration and testing of prototypes. Universal Propulsion Company, Inc., A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of BF Goodrich, 25401 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027-7899 is the sole designer, developer, and producer of the SJU-4/A,13/A and 14/A and, as such, is the only firm possessing the knowledge, facilities, equipment, and technical data necessary to meet the government requirement.
