ntroduction
industry manufactures a very wide range of defence equipment
proven in battle round the world. In recent years many items of such
equipment have been sold to other countries both by British industry and
by the British Ministry of Defence.
Although all manufacturers issue technical literature describing their
products and many offer very detailed brochures, it is felt that there is a
need for a joint catalogue of defence equipment such as this publication.
This sets out to provide a quick and easy reference to the widest possible
range of products and services, information about each being presented
British
uniform layout.
do not claim that all items of defence equipment manufactured in
Britain are included or described. Some are too complex to include in this
type of presentation, others of which you may have heard are not yet in
service. If you want further information on any of the items or if you cannot
find the type of equipment for which you are looking, help will be forthcoming from the British Embassy or High Commission if appropriate
in your country.
Alternatively, your representatives in London can seek
further information from the British Ministry of Defence or Ministry of
in a

Technology.
It should be noted moreover that contributors to this Catalogue have
been able to select only one or, at best, a few of their products for inclusion in the product data sections; other products made by the contributor
are indicated against their name in the alphabetic list.
This edition contains updated and new information, and therefore
supersedes the second edition dated December 1969, all copies of which
should be destroyed. The next (fourth) edition will be published in the
Autumn of 1971, it having been decided that it is now necessary to publish the Catalogue only once a year in future.
This Catalogue has been sponsored by the British Ministries of Defence
and Technology and has been prepared with the fullest assistance and
co-operation of the many firms participating.
Application for further copies of this edition should be addressed to the
publishers: Combined Service Publications Limited, 67 68 Jermyn Street,

900-ton frigate— Vedette
The Vickers Vedette has been designed to fulfil tactical
and strategic roles which fall in the gap between patrol
boats/corvettes and the larger sophisticated frigates.
Within the Vedette series, the Type 521 represents
one approach where the simplest effective armament
is
carried
to
support a general-purpose
Vedette Type 522, with Type 521
shown on
the
role.
Type 522,
illustrated,
incorporates within the
same
dimensions and displacement a much more sophisticated and powerful armament to allow consideration
of the flexibility of such a weapon outfit, fully adaptable
to a navy's particular requirement.

The VosperThornycroft Mk 5 (1200 tons) and Mk 7
(1450 tons) frigates have been designed with two
main objectives: (1) to provide smaller and much less
expensive ships, with complements not greatly exceeding 100, able to carry out most of the functions of
the larger frigate and (2) to take every advantage of the
latest developments of both weapons and machinery
to produce the most effective possible fighting units.

The
term 'corvette' includes not only small unsophisticated vessels with comparatively simple armament but also larger and faster vessels with very
advanced weapons and equipment. Corvettes are the
smallest ships with a realistic anti-submarine capability.
Because of their small size and basic simplicity they
are considerably less expensive than frigates in prime
cost and have crews of only about 50 to 60 officers and
men.

built of steel, with two 40mm guns and a speed of
about 25 knots.
Six 110ft (335m) fast patrol craft were supplied to
the Peruvian Navy in 1965. These are 30-knot vessels

A further six 110ft (335m) fast patrol craft are at
present (1968) being built for the Republic of Singapore. Two of the vessels are being built in Portsmouth,
the remainder by Vosper Thornycroft Uniteers Ltd in
Singapore.
A new design of 142ft (43-3m) fast patrol boat,
armed with modern guns and guided missiles, has
recently been built as a private venture. Many other
smaller patrol craft have also been designed and built.

contemporary foreign ships in battle and performance. It also had to be able to patrol the high seas in all areas and
in all weather and was required to be able to land armed or unarmed landing partiestodeal with civil disturbance
or natural disaster. Brief details of the design arrived at to meet all these requirements are given below.

The design has been specifically tailored to the requirements of the Royal Navy. Clearly the sound basic
concept and the detailed requirements of the Royal Navy will produce a fine warship, but it is fully recognised
that other navies may require modifications in detail of both the armament and the equipment. Within the general
space and weight concepts of the ship, there is ample scope to adapt the design to meet the particular requirements of other navies.

The clean
lines of the Yarrow frigate are a promise of its economical performance and speed when required. Faster and more sophisticated than a corvette, smaller and more economical than a first-rate frigate, the Yarrow frigate provides powerful armament and control
systems for general defence. Designed to help developing nations protect their own interests, the Yarrow frigate gives economy in
capital cost, in operating cost and in vital operating manpower at about 60 per cent of the equivalent figures for existing first-rate
frigates
The Yarrow frigate's twin-screw CODOG arrangement of fully automated machinery combines a single diesel engine of good specific
fuel consumption giving high endurance and long-range cruising economy, with a large gas turbine of low specific machinery weight
for high-speed operational performance. Normal cruising performance up to 16 knots is obtained from the Crossley-Pielstick PC2V
engine driving through an automatic SSS synchronising clutch into a single gearbox from which two output shafts drive two controllable
pitch propellers. Running on distillate fuel, life between piston withdrawals will be 12 000h or more. Full control is exercised by
independent change of propeller pitch, through simple lever controls on the bridge. At speeds above 16 knots, the Rolls-Royce
Marine Olympus gas-turbine is started, and drives into the same gearbox through a separate SSS clutch

entirely new design filling the widening gap between
the large Leander Class frigates and the small corvettes.
Capable of matching first-line frigates in both firepower and performance, the Yarrow frigate is available
at about 60 per cent of their cost. The armament payload of 1 50 tons compares favourably with warships of

Ships
Type 42 destroyer
multi-role guided missile vessel
The gas-turbine propelled Type 42 destroyer has been
designed to provide all-round support for the modern
naval fleet. The machinery, outfit, and weapon systems
have been selected as being the most cost-effective
to meet operational requirements, and emphasis has
been on minimising running costs and in-service
support during the ship's
Items too large for planned replacement such as main
gearing or Olympus engines have been designed for
long life and very high reliability.
Lubrication, power supplies, and machinery control
systems have been designed to minimise interdependence, and fail-safe principles are employed. Also,
normal sea-going conditions do not require all diesel
generators and air-conditioning plants to be on load
simultaneously, thus allowing further margins for
maintenance. Pipe systems, too, have been kept as
simple as possible, and the number of underwater
fittings reduced to a minimum.
The main armament of the Type 42 is the Sea Dart
guided missile, providing the main air-defence role of
life.
A combined gas-and-gas (COGOG) machinery
arrangement has been specified, using Olympus engines
for full-power conditions and Tyne engines for cruising.
The benefits of the COGOG arrangement, proved in

Nelson craft with glass-reinforced plastics hulls
The well-known boat building company Keith Nelson
& Co Ltd of Bembridge in the Isle of Wight, England,
has joined the Vosper Thornycroft Group and transferred its headquarters to Portsmouth. In so doing it has
extended the range of craft that the Group can offer to
include a number of extremely sophisticated boats of
(34-60 ft)
the most up-to-date design in the 10-1 8
range.
Theoretical study and long practical experience in
all weather conditions have produced the standard
Nelson hulls of various carefully chosen sizes. They
are of round bilge form and constructed in glassreinforced plastics (GRP) to give both high performance and good seakeeping. The structure is of exceptional strength, with built-in tanks and watertight subdivision. GRP has the considerable additional advantages that it is not liable to rot or corrode or suffer

Routine maintenance of the hull is reduced to a minimum.
The 183 m (60 ft) hull has been developed from
the 17 m (56 ft) boat for use as a patrol craft, with or
without a light armament. These boats are suitable for
such duties as coastal patrol, anti-smuggling or air-sea
rescue in open waters.
The Keith Nelson 12 m (40 ft) hull, which has been
used extensively for patrol boats, pilot boats, personnel
launches, etc, over the last five years, has now been
redesigned to be 13 7 m (45 ft) in length with a corresponding increase of about 03 m (1 ft) in beam.

The company

capability stems from an unbroken record of 25 years'
collaboration with the British Government in the
development of guidance systems for acoustic homing
torpedoes. The homing system electronic packages for
every British tcrpedo in service or under development
have been designed and produced by this company.
The company has been awarded a large contract by

Underwater tracking ranges
Three types of tracking range are produced by
Marconi Space and Defence Systems Limited. They are:
1. Sea-going 3D underwater tracking range, which
can simultaneously track three separate targets and
plot trajectories in real time to an accuracy of a few
yards. Suitable for applications which require shallow
and deep-water operation of the tracking range.
2. Portable
underwater tracking range (targetcentred 3D tracker), designed for fleet use in submarines, which provides a numeric 3D record of
torpedoes fired by or against a submarine. Long-range
tracking with high-definition mode in final attack phase.
3. Fixed tracking range, which can be used as a
short-range, shallow-water, high-definition system or a
long-range deep-water multi-target system.
Signals
from sea bed or surface buoyed arrays are transmitted

these tracking systems require 'active' targets. A
standard range of synchronised acoustic transmitters,
from 12 75 in to 21 in diameter have been developed
for this purpose. These contain low-drift digital timing
sources with a stability of better than 5 parts in 100
million. They are fitted into the target hull and do not
materially affect the dynamic characteristics of the
target.
They can also be supplied as part of a more

of the presetter

to pre-select (or preset)

settings of torpedoes. There are six possible settings
of ISD and five settings of FD.
The presetter forms one half of an ac Wheatstone
bridge (the other half being within the weapon).
Selection of a new depth setting unbalances the
bridge, the detector senses the unbalance and operates
which delivers, via the 'set' switch, power to a
Ledex stepping switch in the torpedo. Operation of the
'set' switch causes the Ledex switch to step round until
the new depth is selected and the bridge re-balanced.

for divers
The role played by the professional diver in underwater operations, both military and civil, has become
increasingly important in recent years both in defence
and in projects involving marine surveys, repairs and
demolitions. The proficient amateur diver, participating
in a novel but increasingly popular sport, is extending
his dives to greater, but more hazardous depths.
Diving operations frequently entail working at considerable depths, and the staging procedure of a slow
ascent to the surface which is necessary to allow the

gradually to pressure changes
without suffering decompression sickness, has imposed severe limitations on the time which can be
allocated to the actual work beneath the surface.
The use of a chamber permits a more rapid ascent

staging procedure previously employed. This has the

This enables patients, forced by circumstances to commence therapeutic
treatment in the relatively confined space of a one-man chamber, to complete
the decompression schedule in a more spacious environment where medical
assistance can be given.
The T-U-P two-compartment chamber embodies an access door at the end
opposite to the air-lock entry, an external sealing ring and a steel clamping ring
with intermittent dogs, actuated by means of a handwheel. The weight is
1746kg (38501b).
The T-U-P one-man chamber has an adaptor ring and a door with removable
external hinge, increasing the weight to 338kg (7451b). The chamber is supported on an aligning trolley, engaged with the larger chamber and the pressure
in both chambers and in the intervening space is equalised.
The large chamber door is then opened, a substitute hinge coupled to the oneman chamber door and, on opening it, the stretcher and patient withdrawn
from the smaller chamber. If the patient's condition permits he can be seated in
the larger chamber and, after reversing the above procedure, the two chambers
can be separated and the smaller released for further use.

corrosion-resistant non-magnetic light alloy and stainless steel. The cylinder capacity is
2800 litres free gas at a maximum working pressure of 170 kgf/cm'2 (2400 lbf/in 2 ).
The apparatus (shown at the left) is highly efficient for harbour maintenance purposes
and for searching the underwater section of ships. It can be used in comfort and safety
by clearance divers down to 51 m (180 ft) depth.
The complete SABA consists of cradle and weight boxes, front weight pocket and belt,
main and reserve air cylinders with associated valves, and a single-stage high flowreducing valve, feeding the rear-mounted demand valve, face mask and breathing tube
assembly.

The diver's equipment, which is worn with the underwater swimming dress and
associated items, comprises a standard damage control breathing apparatus modified
to carry divers weights in the front pocket and fittings for flexible supply hoses from the
surface. At the surface the supply hose is connected to a surface control panel supplied
with high-pressure air from the ship's main or portable air compressor (or from a storage
cylinder).
The panel contains arrangements for controlling air pressure to the diver
according to his depth and can support two divers for normal working; in an emergency
can accommodate a third diver.
The SDDE has twin cylinders, each charged to 21 kgf/cm 2 (3000 lbf/in 2 air pressure,
which automatically supply the diver should the surface supply fail. The breathing
apparatus is of the open-circuit type, the used air being exhausted into the surrounding

having a working pressure of 254 kgf/cm 2 (3600 lbf/in 2 ) and a free gas capacity of
1200 litres; at normal air pressure the endurance is approximately 40 minutes.
The control system consists of a normal single-stage reducing valve feeding air to the
demand valve. The face mask is coupled to the demand valve by flexible hoses. The set
has an equaliser valve for guidance on air consumption: one cylinder feeds the system
while the second is held in reserve for topping-up purposes.

Dunlop booster sets are designed to transfer the
maximum amount of gas with minimum loss, by
feeding the compressor via a demand valve. This valve
allows full pressure to be drawn from the supply bottle
into the compressor at the beginning of the compression
cycle.
Full output continues to be obtained until the
pressure in the supply bottles falls to 35 kgf/cm 2
(50 lbf/in 2 ).
No gas is lost during the compression cycle because
the crankcase of the compressor is sealed and the
breathing or piston losses are piped back into the firststage inlet. Wastage is thus practically nil.
Dunlop nitrogen boost sets are available powered by
a 400/440 V, three-phase electric motor.

Bathythermograph
Plessey-Sippican expendable type
The Plessey-Sippican XBT expendable bathythermograph permits accurate and continuous ocean temperature and ocean depth measurements to be made in any
sea state, at ship's speeds of up to 30 knots, without
slowing the ship or restricting its course in any way.
It is a simple, accurate and dependable system, easy to
operate and maintain, capable of providing a profile

normally mounted at the stern of a ship. The wire of the
probe is dereeled as the probe drops vertically through
the water. The other end of the wire is wound on a
second spool mounted within the probe canister.
As the ship moves ahead this wire is also dereeled,
allowing the probe to fall free, completely unaffected by the ship's motion or the state of the sea.
The nose of the probe is weighted and the entire unit
spin-stabilised to ensure descent from the launcher at
the known rate.
Changes in resistanceof thethermistordueto temperature changes of water are transmitted by the trailing
wire to a recorder mounted on board ship.

Since the rate of descent of the probe is accurately
directly from the time scale of
the recorder. After the probe passes 460m (1500ft),
its wire is exhausted and it sinks to the ocean bottom.
This continuous temperature-depth profile is traced on

durability at less cost than the trace normally recorded
on the smoked glass slide of the conventional bathythermograph.
This system, already in use in many

oceanographic research.

postacceptance support of the complete system. It also
includes, when necessary, consultation on all ship
construction aspects of installation.
Cost-effective minehunting demands speed, accuracy and a highly reliable mine destruction capability. Accuracy is of particular importance, because the
whole object of minehunting is to provide safe navigation channels with a minimum of delay. This can be
done either by finding and marking areas where no
mines have been laid, or by destroying the mines in a
carefully defined area.
To achieve the necessary very high standards of
navigational accuracy, the mine-hunting sonar is integrated into a specially designed command and navigation sub-system. Important elements of the system are
a pilotage radar, used to take range and bearings of
reference short-scope buoys, and a minefield plot-

The other
essentials in a properly integrated mine-

to provide control of the mine destroying team,

Indicator unit for submarine distress buoy
The submarine distress buoy is a self-contained equipment which is
released from a submarine in distress. A submarine normally carries two
of the buoys which are tethered to it by steel cables stowed on free-running
drums. The buoy consists of an indicator unit (1) sealed in a pressure
vessel (2), a whip antenna (3) and a flotation unit (4). The indicator unit
transmits a preset code sequence on HF and UHF international naval
distress frequencies, at the same time flashing a high-power lamp (5).
The equipment is completely transistorised and its comparatively low
current consumption results in an endurance of at least 72 hours from a
mercury cell type battery pack.

Type MS27 can be used in the surveillance role in
association with a separate fire control sonar within
the same hull outfit. This enables the ship to continue
surveillance for new threats while engaging a target
already detected.

and computerised sonar ray trace indicator
*
Sonar has proved a most effective means of submarine location, while helicopters, with their outstanding manoeuvrability, are in many respects ideal
platforms for anti-submarine warfare. The combination
of the two, in the form of the Plessey Type 195
'dunking' sonar shown on the opposite page, has
already proved highly successful in many trials under
battle conditions.
However, sonar is based on the assumption that
sound waves travel outwards in a straight line and
at a fixed speed from the source. This is not always the
case; temperature gradients, changes in salinity and
other parameters affect the transmission of sound
waves through water. Especially changes in temperature with increasing depth can reflect and refract
sound waves to a considerable extent.
Acoustic ray trace indicator
The new Plessey Acoustic Ray
Trace Indicator
(ARTI) has been developed by the Marine Systems
Division for the Royal Navy to apply automatically
corrections due to such effects. The equipment, which
provides rapid corrections to the
is very compact,
detection range of any sonar by using temperature/
depth or velocity/depth profiles derived from suitable
detectors. The indicated correction enables targets to
be located with greatly improved accuracy.
ARTI can accept input data from any temperature or
velocity-profile source, but is specifically designed to
accept plots automatically from either the Royal
Navy sound velocity recorder, or from the PlesseySippican expendable bathythermograph which is described in detail elsewhere in this Catalogue. The
bathythermograph is already in service with ten navies.
The ARTI incorporates an analogue computer which
integrates the sonar plot with the temperature/depth

Marconi Radar Systems Limited has always played an
important role in meeting the Royal Navy's radar
requirements. It has also designed and installed
complete radar systems for Commonwealth and for
foreign navies. The company has extensive experience
in the development, design and manufacture of naval
radar equipment for most operational requirements
including long-range early warning, target indication
and fire control. The equipments can be supplied as
individual items or engineered into an integrated
ship's system.
The company collaborates with the shipbuilders to
plan the layout of radar equipment to suit the user's
requirements and can undertake installation of the
equipment if desired.
Marconi Radar Systems Limited is actively engaged
the development programme of the complete
in
electronics system for Seawolf, a new generation of
missile in the Royal Navy.
The company will be
responsible for the complete system electronic equipment, including surveillance radars, target-tracking
radar, missile-gathering and guidance television, datahandling and display equipment and command guidance communications. The company is also responsible
for all aspects of management and development coordination for the complete shipborne system.
The company has major sub-contracts for radar
equipment which forms part of the new Sea Dart
Artist's
shipborne
missile system, in particular the tracker/
illuminator radar and the transmitter for the surveillance
radar.
In addition to radar equipment, the company's naval
systems capability is enhanced by the control engineering department. This department has specialised in
servo equipment for weapons for over 30 years and at
present has contracts for the remote power control
systems for the Seawolf, Sea Dart and RN Ikara
launchers, the 4-5-in Mk 8 gun mounting and the antisubmarine mortar Mk 10.

large quantities for its gyro reference systems and can
therefore be regarded as already proven for marine
application. Provision is made for the unit to operate
either in the gyro-compassing mode or directional gyro

Data-handling and weapon-control for naval use
In modern warfare, threats materialise and strike so
quickly that it is physically impossible, without automatic assistance, for the commander to evaluate and
retaliate rapidly enough to be effective. Thanks to the
enormous range and variety of modern sensor equipment now available, the problem is further complicated
by the sheer volume of information pouring into the
command centre too quickly for human sorting and
comprehension. Ferranti data-handling and weapon
control systems provide the answer. Based on a range
of sophisticated microminiature digital computers,
Ferranti systems are capable of accepting automatically
a mass of information from radars, sonars, passive
equipment, data links, etc, of digesting, correlating,
ordering and displaying information in clear, comprehensive form and, subject to command approval,
of aiming, controlling and tiring such weapons as guns,
anti-aircraft or anti-submarine missiles, torpedoes, etc.
Ferranti systems can also, if required, do much more,
such as assembling messages for data links, controlling
radars, forecasting or recommending actions and

has,
in
conjunction
with
the British Ministry of Defence (Navy), developed a
standard automatic voltage regulator known as the
Mk 100 VR Series, which is suitable for conventional
or brushless main and auxiliary generators.
The
advantage of this standardisation is that logistics
problems are much simplified because the Mk 100 VR
Series can be used with different types of generator on
one ship a facility not available before. The Mk 1 00 VR
is made up of a standard basic tray or sub-assembly on
which the circuits common to all generators are
mounted. Different units may be selected from a range
of sub-units and easily attached to the basic tray to
meet the specific generator requirements.
This
versatility means that the Mk 100 VR is suitable for
operation with generator outputs of 1 1 7, 205, or 450 V
and at frequencies of 60 or 400 Hz three-phase.

Charts
of sea lanes and coastal areas
For some years the Hydrographic Department of the Ministry
of Defence has been considering a new style for the Admiralty
Chart. The aims have been to improve its legibility and
usefulness to the mariner, and to make increasing use of
modern techniques
to enable new information to be
the chart more speedily.
In addition, thought has been applied to the "metrication"
of Admiralty Charts in view of the United Kingdom
Government's declared policy to convert all measurements to
metric units. This change should be of considerable benefit to
many overseas users of Admiralty Charts who normally employ

The Hydrographic Department
The Hydrographic Department dates from 1795 when the
Board of Admiralty appointed Mr Alexander Dalrymple,
Hydrographer of the East India Company, as the first
Hydrographer of the Navy. Before this, the collection of charts
and hydrographic information was the responsibility of the
individual ships' captains which proved a haphazard business.
It resulted in more ships being lost by stranding and shipwreck
than by enemy action. During the term of office of the second
Hydrographer of the Navy, Captain T Hurd, RN, ships of the
Royal Navy were getting the best charts available.
The present Hydrographer of the Navy, Rear Admiral
G S Ritchie, CB, DSC. FRICS, is the nineteenth and all, with
the exception of Mr Alexander Dalrymple, have been naval
officers.
Department now provides a comprecoverage of navigational charts and
publications. Great Britain is one of the few countries which
The Hydrographic
world-wide
hensive
can provide this coverage. British Admiralty Charts are used
the world over by all nationalities.
The primary concern of the Hydrographic Department is of
course the needs of the Royal Navy, but consideration is also
given to the needs of the British Merchant Service and foreign
shipping. Apart from charts and publications supplied to the
Royal Navy and United Kingdom Government Departments, the
value of sales of charts at home and abroad last year was
more than £ 800 000, nearly two thirds of which was for sales
abroad.
The distribution of Admiralty Charts and hydrographic
publications is made through appointed commercial agencies
throughout the world, but further details and information are
available from:

The company is among the leading authorities on ways
in which computers may be used in situations where a

as for instance in ship navigation and maritime research.
On-line real-time electronic data-processing systems
are supplied that produce plots, graphs, charts and

Hydroplot, which is particularly suitable for research
and scientific applications, is installed on the ocean
survey ships H MS Hecate, H MS Hecla and HMS Hydra
as well as on the Fishery Research Vessel Explorer.
Great benefit may be derived by both naval and
merchant vessels from using computer-based systems
that can undertake many of the tasks associated with
management, such as collision avoidance, satellite
navigation, and weapon systems organisation. Commodore is a co-ordinated system which, using an online computer, handles both economically and effectively a ship's total requirements of this sort.
By
accepting inputs from such devices as radar, sonar,
radio navigation aids and communication equipment,
Commodore can provide assistance in navigation, ship
handling, weather routeing, loading and other duties.

targets
2 To transmit target indication of such targets to a main fire-control system
3 To be conned by the ship's sensors or by a main fire-control system on

as standard by the Ministry of Defence (Naval), the
YJ or Ventura as it is called has an output ranging

—
from 475 to 1920bhp.
Although outputs are high, running costs are low
these are easily-proven facts. The shorter stroke of the
Paxman engine means that piston speed, the really
vital factor,
is
most moderate.
For example, the
197mm (7-75in) stroke (RPH or YH) diesel running at
1 200rev/min has a piston speed of 470m/min (1 550ft/
min). This may be compared with a vertical unit of
similar power but with a 305mm (1 2in) stroke which, at
750rev/min, would have a piston speed of 460m/min
Other features contributing to the low
(1 500ft/min).
running costs are the small size and low weight of the
cylinder heads, pistons and other components, which
make overhaul and maintenance a simple procedure.
Periods between major overhauls often exceed 20 OOOh.
Because of their inherent reliability, Paxman marine
auxiliary engines are particularly suitable for multiunit installations operating under remote or automated
First is the RPH, with outputs from 1 37 to 825bhp and
speeds of up to 1500rev/min. The result of some 30
years of progressive development, this series of
heavy-duty engines has a proven history of reliability
and a service life unsurpassed by any other make of
diesel throughout the world. Second is the YH series,

particularly suitable for driving the modern 60Hz ac
generator.
The Paxman range of auxiliary engines covers
outputs of from 1 00 to 1 920bhp, with from four to 1
cylinders, and can be supplied with natural aspiration,

Deltic
The Deltic engine was designed specifically for use by the Royal
Navy and, although unique in the triangular arrangement of
cylinder blocks, crankcases and crankshafts, only proven principles of opposed-piston practice, and the equally proven forkand-blade rod design fitted
conventional type are used.
in
Acoustic cladding
Special acoustic cladding has been developed to reduce diese
noise. It is arranged in easily removable panels. As regards heat
insulation, it is assumed that 2 percent of the total heat energy
available from consumed fuel in a liquid-cooled engine can be
accounted for in radiation. Although the acoustic cladding is
not a complete insulator, it can be expected that a total increase in
cooling capacity of approximately 5 percent would be required
and it is suggested that the normally fitted coolers (with excess
capacity in the order of 10-15 percent) would accommodate this
increase.
This cladding method can also be applied to other
diesel engines.
countless vee-form engines of
The triangular configuration, coupled with the extensive use
of
the engine castings, has considerable advantages,
providing an extremely compact power unit with, for a compression-ignition engine, an unusually high power/weight ratio.
For example, the CT18-42K engine (see engine data) offers
3840bhp with a ratio of 1-43kg/hp (3 1 5lb/hp), bmep is conservatively rated at 9 45kg/cm 2 (134-4lb/in 2 ).
A special feature of the Deltic range of marine engines is the
reverse reduction gearbox which can be supplied as a unit
integral with the engine.
Even when fitting this unit, a power/
weight ratio of just under 1-8kg/shp (4lb/shp) is achieved and
the basic concept of a compact power unit is enhanced by this
light alloy for
feature.
The original specification called for an engine with a low
maintenance factor capable of being dealt with by semi-skilled
engine room staff, and only minor attention is called for during
the life of the engine up to major servicing.
The complete
interchangeability of common parts and components, such as
auxiliary pumps and control units, permits the extensive use of
the repair-by-replacement technique. Major units of the engine
such as the blower, phasing gear case and reverse reduction
gearbox, are also interchangeable thus reducing servicing time.
For fast patrol boat installations where boat trim and space
limitations are of major significance, a vee-drive gearbox can be
supplied which enables a particularly compact installation arrangement to be achieved. To match the concept of light weight
and compactness, a special range of ancillary installation equipment has been developed in conjunction with the respective
manufacturers of exhaust and air intake silencers, coolant heat
exchangers, oil coolers and priming pumps.
A Deltic-engined installation offers substantial advantages
where weight and space affect the performance of the vessel and
often make possible machinery arrangements previously considered impracticable.

range for marine propulsion
Vickers has been manufacturing the highly successful
Admiralty Standard Diesel Engines Range 1 since
1948 and has supplied them for submarines, frigates,
tugs and aircraft carriers.
Modifications have been constantly introduced to
take advantage of modern developments and to keep
latest
abreast of the
technology.
Many navies
abroad have taken advantage of
this proven design and
include
Australia,
current users
Canada and India.
The basic design of engine is such that variations for
purposes are easily made, which facilitates
in such a wide range of vessels.
The in-line version, which may be normally aspirated
or supercharged, has either six or eight cylinders and
is eminently suitable for auxiliary generating engines,
being rated at 360 kW and 550 kW respectively.
The V-type is available with either 1 2 or 1 6 cylinders
and may be normally aspirated, supercharged by turboblowers or mechanically supercharged.
Brief technical particulars of the various types are

has recently completed and supervised
the installation of a set of these engines in a frigate
built by Yarrow (Shipbuilders) Ltd.
Previous frigates engined by Vickers include HMS
Salisbury and Leopard as well as Beas and Betwa for
the Indian Navy.
Auxiliary generating sets have also been supplied for
HMS Llandaff, Chichester, Ausonia, Lynx and
Brahmaputra, and the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes,
while the 12 VTS engines have been fitted in the
Admiralty tug HMS Typhoon.
Vickers is known the world over as submarine
builders and has been closely associated with the
British Admiralty and most other naval countries of the
world in the production of complete vessels.
Although the first Barrow-built engines for submarines were petrol-driven in about 1 903, they weresoon
followed by the first diesel engines in 1 908, and Vickers
has been constantly engaged in this field ever since.
Many of the highly successful Oberon Class submarines, each of which incorporates two 16 VMS
diesel generating sets for main propulsion, were built
by Vickers.

Bar mines and mine-laying equipment
The new British bar mine system combines great
inhibiting enemy movement with
effectiveness in
simplicity, safety and economy in the deployment of
mines.
The system is based on the use of a new type of
mine and of a mine-laying plough'. The mines are
transported in and the plough is towed by any suitable
vehicle, usually a tracked armoured personnel carrier.
Advantages
The new bar mine system has many advantages, the
most important being:

A conveyor arm above the tow bar accepts bar
mines loaded from the armoured towing vehicle,
without exposing personnel to enemy fire. The conveyor
is
adjustable in height to adapt it to any towing
vehicle. It feeds the mines to an adjustable spacing
mechanism, which deposits them in a trench of adjustable depth made by the plough. Two harrow discs then
close the trench; a dragged chain may be used to
smooth the surface. The plough and harrow can also
be raised to allow the mines to be laid on the surface.
All wearing parts, such as the plough point, are
quickly and simply replaced. The machine can be used
on any type of soil capable of being ploughed.
Cage wheels can be quickly fitted to the two hubs to
provide extra stability on soft or uneven ground at high
travelling speeds.
The plough is capable of laying buried mines at the
rate of 600-700 mines per hour and at even higher
rates on the surface.

Bar mine
The new bar mine has a tough plastics casing housing
the explosive charge and the fuze, which contains only
very few small metal parts. The mine cannot be detected
by any current electro-magnetic mine detector.
Extensive trials have shown that this mine is
completely effective against any tank track and causes
severe damage to tank belly armour
The fuze is fitted before operational use and is armed
immediately prior to loading; the mine can thus be
handled, transported and stored in safety.
Because of its shape, 72 bar mines are combined
into a unit load of approximately one cubic metre

ZB 298
for short-range
ground surveillance
The ZB 298 short-range ground surveillance radar is
designed to meet a UK General Staff requirement which
in turn conformed to the NATO basic military requirement for this class of radar.
ZB 298, now in quantity production and currently
being delivered to the British Army as Radar GS No 14,
Mk 1, meets the long-felt need for an all-weather day
and night surveillance radar.
Unskilled operators of ZB 298 after only a few days'
training can speedily detect, recognise and provide
accurate positional information (azimuth, range and
angle of sight) and direction of movement on all forms
of moving target on land and over water from a few
metres out to 10 000 metres (64 miles). Helicopters

Seismic detectors
and intruder alarm systems
TOBIAS
intruder alarm system
The TOBIAS seismic intruder alarm system
is
designed
day and
to provide a small, easily portable, all-weather
night surveillance system which does not require lineof-sight conditions, to meet the needs of all those
involved in security, whether on the battlefield or for
frontier or perimeter protection. It makes use of small,
rugged, low-cost, passive sensors (geophones) which,
because they are buried below ground level, are virtually
undetectable. They may be sited near likely intruder
approach routes or round a perimeter. Their deployment area can be many miles from the display unit.
TOBIAS has four independent channels on each of
which up to 20 geophones may be connected. Thus,
if desired, a considerable frontage or perimeter can be
protected by one system. Maximum detection distances
for one geophone depend largely on the nature of the
ground and the amount of natural and man-made
seismic activity in the area, but for a walking man this is
seldom less than a circle of radius of 50 metres round
the sensor.
Distances considerably in excess of this
have been frequently achieved and circular detection
patterns of 300 metres radius or more are not uncommon. Visual indication of movement on each
channel is provided at the display unit; an aural display
(headset) also allows the nature of movement on each
channel to be recognised (man, animal, vehicle, etc).
The aural display also allows operator to monitor
activity on all four channels continuously and simultaneously. Power supply (contained in lid of display

Land navigation systems
for military vehicles
Conditions of modern warfare demand that small units
should be able to move rapidly about the battlefield
under all conditions, but particularly at night or when

LNS 101 is a land navigation system that has been
developed by the Aviation Electric Company using the

using a magnetic heading transmitter where conditions
of use do not warrant a gyro compass.
Advantages
These land navigation systems accurately and continuously compute and display the geographical location of the vehicle and the direction in which it is
headed. The presentation is designed to let the commander use the information immediately without need
for any manual plotting or calculating.
The LNS makes it possible for crews of tanks and any
other vehicles to navigate across unknown country
quickly and easily even when features on the ground
cannot be seen, as for instance in darkness, fog or
smoke or when hatch covers must be kept closed. It
also enables vehicles to navigate accurately in country
devoid of landmarks, where reliable maps are not
available or in areas lacking permanent topographical
It permits the position of the vehicle to be
quickly and accurately reported without map reading.
The LNS 101 is supplied to the British, Canadian
and US Armies for operational use in tanks such as the
Chieftain and
Centurion, and armoured personnel
carriers such as the M1 1 3A1
The advantages of using a self-contained deadreckoning system have been firmly established. While
armoured vehicles have received priority in respect to
fitment of land navigation equipment, it has become
increasingly evident that the ability to navigate under
adverse conditions can be equally important in other
vehicles used under combat conditions.
features.
Method of operation
The continuous computation and display
of the present
position of the vehicle is obtained by automatic deadreckoning from a known starting point. The distance
travelled by the vehicle is measured by the odometer
drive, while the direction of travel of the vehicle is
derived electrically from either a gyro compass or a
magnetic heading transmitter.
Prior to moving off, the starting point co-ordinates,
obtained from a standard military map grid, are set
into the appropriate units. Any subsequent movement
of the vehicle is continuously followed and displayed.

The problem
All soldiers know the difficulty of aiming at night, or
when there is not enough light to line their sights with
the target.
Unless his sights are illuminated the firer must rely
on rough weapon alignment with only a small chance
of hitting the enemy.
Illuminated sights are therefore essential, but while
being easily seen by the firer they must not be so bright,
or so positioned, that they interfere with his view of the
target under difficult night conditions.
The illuminations must also be self-energising, free
from deterioration (as occurs with luminous paints),
free from radio-activity hazard and long-lasting.
The Trilux night sight meets all these requirements.
It is unique, simple, safe, adaptable, long-lasting and
robust.
The solution
The
Trilux night sight consists of: Foresight. The blade
incorporates a luminous glass tube, coated on the inside
with phosphorus which is activated by tritium gas. The
glass tube is manufactured for the Royal Small Arms
Factory by Saunders-Roe Developments Limited. It
has the following advantages:
Its brightness can be varied in manufacture to meet the
requirement; its size allows it to be adapted to all
known weapon foresights; the illuminant is completely
sealed; it has a long half life of 8-10 years.
Various configurations of foresight blade as made at
the Royal Small Arms Factory are illustrated.
Backsight. This incorporates a large aperture of the
optimum size to match the requirement of the nightadapted eye. As with any small daylight aperture the
firer instinctively places the illuminated foresight in the
centre of the aperture.
Ease of use
The technique
of firing
is
simple and a trained soldier can be instructed
in a
matter of 10 minutes.
Effectiveness
World-wide trials by the British Army show that, under light conditions where a man-sized standing target can
just be seen between 20 and 50 metres, the average firer will score 70 per cent hits.
Using Trilux night sights a soldier can effectively engage all targets out to the furthest distance at which he
can see them:
From 15 metres dark night and background.
To 300 metres light night and background.
Apart from its night-firing advantage the Trilux night sight increases accuracy
in 'quickfire' engagements.

Adaptation to your weapons
In addition to the British Army rifle and machine gun, sights have been made and fitted to a number of overseas
weapons including the Colt AR15, Heckler and Koch G3, FN's FAL, the US M1 and M14 and the Italian BM59
(M1 7-62 conversion). The system can either be in the form of clip-on-sights, or permanently fitted replacement

integrated circuits, are mounted on a number of plug-in
printed circuit boards which facilitate maintenance as
they are easily and rapidly replaceable. The mean time
between failures (MTBF) is more than 2000 hours.
The display unit is a standard design and is common
to all equipments.
It incorporates two pairs of light
indicators. The first pair shows whether the detector
head cross axis is level and, if not, in which direction it
is inclined.
The second pair indicates to the layer
whether he is elevating or depressing within the speed
range of the sight.

Periscopes and cupolas
for all-round vision
in
fighting vehicles
Helio periscopes and cupolas for fighting vehicles give
personnel maximum vision coupled with safety.
The periscope illustrated is the one now replacing
the original instruments fitted to the cupola of the
Chieftain tank and versions of it are under development
for the Scorpion, Fox and other British fighting vehicles.
Prototypes for M.109, M.113, Leopard, AMX series
and several other fighting vehicles are also under
development.
These instruments, which can be produced to fit
most types of military vehicles, are non-reflecting and of
advanced design embodying several advantages:
Immunity from detection by reflected light from the sun, a
searchlight or an infra-red source.
Immunity to the crew from shattering glass, because the two
prisms comprising the periscope are isolated so that if the
upper prism is damaged in action the lower prism protects the
1)
2)
user's eyes.
Synthetic rubber encapsulation affords protection to the
periscope and the user, allows easy withdrawal for replacement and provides a sealed instrument.
The periscope is fully desiccated and nitrogen-filled.
Collimation of line-of-sight during manufacture ensures that
when used as a nest of periscopes a common horizon is
obtained without further adjustment.
The instrument remains fully operational over the temperature range -40 C to — 80 C and can withstand air transportation in an unpressurised cabin at 11 200 m (37 000 ft)
without damage and an external water head of 46 m (1 5 ft)
without leakage into the periscope or vehicle.
Better light transmission compared with a plastics type
periscope results in far greater efficiency under threshold
conditions of dawn and dusk.
Prisms are flush-faced for ease of cleaning and the periscope
is suitable for mechanical wiping.
In place of the usual coating of black paint a layer of black
glass is fused to the matt surfaces of prisms to ensure

Muzzle bore sights
Muzzle bore sights are optical devices for checking
and adjusting the accuracy of gun-sights.
The standard muzzle bore sight is a right-angled
telescope for fitting in the muzzle of the gun to enable
it to be accurately trained on a target.
The gun-sight, or the graticule of the gunner's
periscope, is then independently adjusted to the
target, which brings it into exact alignment with the
gun barrel. With this device the aiming accuracy can
thus be checked at any time without going on to a
firing
range or expending ammunition.

SOUND RANGING
COMMAND POST(CP)
Sound ranging is a means of locating a sound
source, based on the assumption that sound travels
uniformly from its source at a known velocity.
A typical sound ranging base consists of seven
microphones, connected by a data transmission link
to a data recording and processing centre. To achieve
an accurate location, the position of each of the
microphones must be fixed by precise survey, and
the time intervals must be corrected for non-standard
atmospheric conditions.
An observer is deployed in the forward area at an
advanced post. It is his task to listen to the enemy
artillery fire and to switch the system on when he
wishes it to record.
He also provides additional
information such as estimated type and calibre of
weapon, number of rounds fired and so on. This
information is relayed to the data recording and
processing centre by radio. Two advanced posts are
normally deployed.
Sound ranging has

The medium girder bridge can be assembled either as a
single- or a double-storey construction, of varying
lengths. It will carry Class 60 loads over gaps of up to
30-5 metres (100ft), but longer spans of lower load
classes can be built. When span junction posts and
other accessories are available, it will be possible to
build multi-span bridges of any length on fixed or
floating piers.
The basic unit is a light alloy box section top panel,
183cm (6ft) in length. Sections can be rapidly joined
together to make a pair of long girders which form the
load-carrying members of the bridge.

which are equally easy to handle and assemble. Very
long bridges can be made up of successive spans
joined together by span junction posts and supported
on piers or pontoons.
Kerb sections can be fitted along the edges of the
bridge.
Where required, footwalks and handrails are
available.
Ramp units give access at the ends of the bridge
which may be placed directly on the ground. There is
no need to rest the bridge on grillages.
The bridge can be assembled, in 1 -8-metre (6ft)

The Class 16 bridge is lightweight hand-erected
equipment capable of being assembled as a clearspan
bridge, a floating bridge or as a powered raft. Made of
high-strength aluminium-zinc-magnesium alloy, it is
designed for ease of transport and handling. Its basic
components can be quickly assembled and placed into
use. Each component has integral interlocking fittings
and, when assembled, the equipment provides a clear
non-skid roadway 3-3 m (11 ft) wide.
General description
The basic components
of the Class 16 bridge are
deck boxes, ramps, articulator boxes, floats and
sponsons.
The deck box combines the functions of bridge
girders and cross girders and contributes buoyancy in
floating applications.
The top of the box forms the
deck of the bridge.
Tapered ramps are fitted to each end of the bridge to
provide an easily negotiable access.
Hydraulically operated articulator boxes are fixed
between the deck boxes and the ramps to allow
adjustment for varying bank heights with floating
bridge and raft applications.
For floating bridges and rafts, pneumatic floats are
fitted to the deck boxes to give additional buoyancy
and stability.
Sponsons with integral turntable brackets for 40 hp

Application
Class 30 Trackway
Application
The Class 60 heavy-duty Trackway is designed for both tracked
and wheeled vehicles. In general it is used to support tanks over
very soft ground and in areas of large vehicle concentrations such
as may occur at bridge and ferry approaches, at the entry and
exit to marshalling areas and other areas subject to heavy traffic.
Class 60 Trackway is also used to protect Class 30 Trackway
designed for wheeled vehicles and for
tracked vehicles with rubber pads. Heavier vehicles can use the
Trackway when ground conditions are favourable and tanks up to
Class 50 may cross at an angle provided they do not slew while
on the track.
Class 30 Trackway is a simple, quick and highly efficient means
of maintaining vehicle movement over soft ground, particularly
in conjunction with amphibious or other temporary bridges where
its application extends the choice of crossing point.
One of the main features of Class 30 Trackway is that it can be
launched and recovered by the transport vehicle and can therefore
be put into use without delay.
is
Assembly
Class 30 Trackway is assembled from a number of extruded
aluminium alloy planks with interlocking captive tongue-andgroove joints, forming a continuous non-skid surface 335 m
(11ft) wide and normally 49-95 m (150 ft 9 in) long.
This
standard Trackway length is reeled on to a carriage assembly
transported by normal platform trucks.
Class 30 Trackway is
launched from the truck and later recovered on to the truck.
The spool carrying the length of track is mounted on a frame
and turntable assembly which clamps to the truck platform. This
arrangement permits the equipment to be stowed within the
vehicle dimensions or swung to the launching and recovery
positions.
Launching
Class 30 Trackway is launched forward over the truck cab,
using a quickly fitted removable roller frame launching assembly.
The track may also be launched over the rear of the truck. The
preparation and launching operation can be completed in about
ten minutes by a three-man team.

Class 60 Trackway is quickly and easily assembled and the
components can be transported in quantity by standard trucks.

quantity by standard trucks and easy handling at both loading
and application points.
Two 3-ton trucks can transport components for assembly of a
trackway area measuring 183 -11-6m (60

Comfor assembling a roadway 15-3 m (50 ft) in length and
(15 ft) wide can be loaded on one 3-ton truck as loose
planks or as a single pre-assembled roll or as two pre-assembled
rolls each 7-65 m (25 ft) long.

Capstan winches
vehicle-mounted or with
own power
Plumett capstan winches are robust units suitable for
wide range of recovery, construction and similar
work. Their essential feature is that the steel rope is
winched by a multiple-groove twin pulley block,
ensuring uniform speed at any point on the rope, while
the rope itself is stored on a separate drum, as shown
in the diagram below.
The advantages of this design are that a great
length of steel rope can be carried, that speed can be
controlled and maintained very accurately over a wide
range, and that pay-out of the rope can be powera
unit
Further features of the design are automatic
rope laying on the drum, a free-wheel brake to prevent
run-back under load, and overload protection devices;
an hydraulically operated braking system is available
assisted.
optionally.
Plumett winches are available in two ranges: the
CA series, which is intended for vehicle-mounting and
is driven through a power-take off from the vehicle
power unit, and theTL, which is portable and completely
self-contained, having its own power unit.

In addition, the double-acting piston does an equal
amount of work on each stroke and plants run relatively
free from vibration while the short stroke inherent in
this design gives low piston speeds with consequent
reduction in wear.
Bristol Duplex air compressors, large numbers of
which are serving with the armed forces of British and
other NATO countries, have undergone the most
stringent tests.
These include subjecting the plants
to ambient temperatures ranging from —52 C to -40 C
with no detrimental effect to performance.
Free air delivery figures are quoted for every Bristol
air compressor and are guaranteed to the relevant
British Standard Specifications and all international

4 x 4 ambulance for military and civil disaster use.
The most advanced methods are used in the construction of the body, which is of the one-piece doubleskin type, fully moulded in glass-reinforced plastics.
The advanced specifications include injection insulation,
colour impregnation and fire-retardation.
The floor is also moulded of glass-reinforced plastics
of a
with integral tread pattern; it is therefore not necessary
to use any type of floor covering. The floor is further
reinforced between theskin mouldings with 1

plywood. The interior walls are of colour-impregnated
plastics and can be easily cleaned; the seats are also
of an easy-clean material. The roof is of the same construction as the remainder of the body, that is double-

Land Rover
lightweight air-portable model
new half-ton 223cm (88in) wheelbase Land
Rover has been designed and developed in conjunction
with the British Fighting Vehicles Research and
Development Establishment (FVRDE) to meet the
special air-portability requirements of the British Army,
RAF and Royal Marines. Over a period it will succeed
the normal 88-in Land Rover vehicle which is at
present the standard light 4
4 in its load class in all
British Forces.
The main feature of the new halfton Land Rover is that any or all of the hood, body
sides, doors, windscreen, bumpers and spare wheel
may be removed more easily for transportation by aircraft or helicopter than from current models, resulting
in an austere but highly robust and serviceable vehicle
weighing little over a ton. In its built-up form it offers
the same degree of comfort and weather protection
as existing models. The half-ton is available in both
'12-volt cargo' and '24-volt fitted for radio' (FFR)

The above sketches illustrate the design concept of the 5MS connector series: The basic components are a fixed unit (A), a free unit
(B) and a coupler unit (C). If sealing is required on the back of a fixed unit (A), a grommet assembly is used, comprising a grommet,
follower and nut (D). to combine into the unit shown at (E). For units requiring a right-angled outlet, an angled outlet set is available
comprising an outlet, grommet and follower (F). This results in a fixed angle outlet (G) or in a free angle outlet (H). The outlet with
its integral nut is fitted in place of the grommet nut, which then fits on the end of the outlet. Should additional support be required for
the cables or any assembly, the grommet nut can be replaced by a grommet cable clamp nut (J)

Alternator, type
AC140
CAV AC140 alternator has been designed to supply high electrical outputs. It fully
meets specification FV2051
The alternator produces a self-limited maximum output of 140 A at a nominal 24 V
at an ambient temperature of 80 C and can operate in an ambient temperature range
from -40 C to —80 C, but up to 140 C with forced ventilation, ventilating air being
drawn through ducts at an inlet temperature of 60 C. The stator laminations have been
cast in position to obtain high thermal efficiency. The insulation in the stator has been
designed to withstand high temperatures.
The output from the stator is rectified by the main six silicon diodes mounted in the
slip ring end shield. Three additional diodes in conjunction with three of the main diodes
provide a rectified auxiliary dc supply for field excitation. Full-load excitation is provided
at approximately 2 A field current.
The alternator can be driven in either direction by a shaft or belt. Drive ratio depends
on the installation but can usefully be fixed somewhere between 2:1 and 3:1
The
Starter motor, type SL6
CAV
motors come in two types, axial and co-axial. These high-performance
have been designed to provide maximum efficiency with a long service life
coupled to a reliable high duty rating. Pinion engagement occurs under reduced power
and full starting torque is not applied until the pinion is completely in mesh with the
flywheel ring gear. This positive low-load engagement eliminates any risk of damage as
a result of violent engagement.
The design incorporates a protection against overspeeding which can occur when an engine is firing and rapidly accelerating and the
starter button is held engaged. The starters can operate in a wide variety of climatic
conditions and fully meet British military specification FV2051

Powerful ground-attack capability
Already established as the world's finest interceptor,
the Lightning, as a result of an intensive development
programme, now has a high-performance groundattack potential of formidable strength.
Under- and overwing weapons attachment stations
enable it to carry in this role a wide spectrum of
armament, bombs, rockets and cannon. For example,
in one configuration no less than 188 rocket projectiles
of both 2in and 68mm calibre can be carried. The mix of
weapons can be varied to suit many operational requirements, over four hundred different combinations of
load being feasible.

and weapons
In addition to missiles
for high-altitude
interception, and bombs, rockets and cannon for lowlevel attack, the Lightning can also carry out high-
speed reconnaissance tasks utilising a pack contained
within the fuselage for camera lens protection, and
with capacity for the installation of side-looking radar
and other reconnaissance electronics.

In all these roles the Lightning retains unimpaired its

a weapons platform.
Its

a light fighter sight for accurate air-to-ground target

The unobstructed layout of the main

to

transport.
Internal starting and hydraulically operated airstairs can be provided.
Combined with the high landing weight of
18 824 kg (41 500 lb) which enables the
HS 748 to carry its own fuel for several
short stages, the aircraft can operate
independently of ground support.
The Series 2A has a greater loadcarrying
shorter
capacity,
requires
a
runway, has even more extended inspection periods (500 hours instead of 250
hours) and has a higher rate of climb than
the original version.
The Andover is the fully militarised
version of the highly successful HS 748.
While retaining full cabin pressurisation,
the Andover has been adapted to transport relatively bulky and heavy loads and
will accept floor loadings of up to 976
kg/m 2 (200 lb/ft 2 ).
With a maximum all-up weight of
22 680 kg (50 000 lb), the Andover can
lift a payload of up to 6800 kg (1 5 000 lb)
with a take-off run of less than 400

rear loading doors form a ramp

enable the Andover to

The Argosy was designed primarily as
cargo transport and is used by the RAF
in the medium-range tactical support role.
With its Rolamat cargo handling system, the
full cargo of up to 13 tons can be loaded
and unloaded in little more than ten

a time between overhaul of well over
2000 hours, enabling the Argosy to give
sustained service over long periods.

This role requires flexibility of operation over a series of missions,
ground attack, interdiction, armed reconnaissance, etc. and thus
a high degree of interchangeability between range and payload.
This in turn demands a large internal fuel volume and a maximum

Avionics
As the environment in which tactical aeroplanes must operate
becomes progressively more severe in terms of sophistication of
ground defences, so it becomes increasingly necessary to ensure
that none of the time spent at risk is wasted. Thus navigation and
weapon delivery must both be upgraded. This in turn results in a
greater dependence on avionics, and in an aeroplane which has
minimum support every
step must be taken to ensure that the necessary electronic aids
are highly reliable and rugged.
To meet this situation and to ensure that the navigation and
attack system will continue to match the changing operational
needs throughout the 1970s, the avionics system of the British
'S' and 'B' versions of Jaguar is based on an inertia platform and

Jaguar can carry a maximum weapon load of 4540kg (10 0001b)

This allows the carriage of:

Maintainability and reliability
The basic target in this area is that no more than 10-5 manhours
should be necessary per flying hour, assuming the aircraft flies
five one-hour sorties daily.
A maintainability group worked closely with the design staffs
on the assessment of the maintenance process for Jaguar, and
the result of the assessment has guided the choice and installation
of all systems and equipment requiring frequent attention.
The requirement here is twofold. If a failure is defined as a
defect which causes the mission to be abandoned or curtailed,
the failure rate must be not more than 51-3 failures per 1000
flying hours
an MTBF (meantime between failures) of roughly
20h.
Secondly, taking a defect as a malfunction requiring unscheduled servicing, the requirement here is that the defect rate
must be not more than 300 defects per 1000 flying hours.

The
Bristol Engine Division of Rolls-Royce undertakes the design and manufacture of a range of gas turbine
engines and ramjets. Among its major products are the Pegasus vectored-thrust turbofan and the M 45 turbofan
(in collaboration with SNECMA of France). Well-established turbojets range from the Olympus family (of which
the commercial Olympus 593 powers the Concorde supersonic airliner) to the much smaller Vipers. The division
will also be responsible for the British share of the work on the RB 199 three-shaft turbofan for the European
multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA). For more than twenty years the division has also been developing a series
of ramjets.

Designed around a high-pressure ratio axial compressor of
exceptionally small dimensions, the Gnome is a free-turbine

designated BS 360-07, has been selected to power
13 multi-purpose helicopter as
the twin-engined Westland
part of the Anglo-French helicopter programme.
To produce a light, compact and reliable high-performance
engine with good handling characteristics that meets military
and civil requirements, full advantage has been taken of the
extensive gas turbine experience in all divisions of Rolls-Royce
this engine,
WG
Limited.
A feature of the engine is the two-spool gas generator which
gives a compression ratio of 12'>:1 with wide performance
characteristics ensuring low specific fuel consumption and good
handling qualities without sophisticated compressor variable
geometry. This provides the basis for an engine with low overall
operating cost.
The incorporation of a modular concept enables major engine
components to be replaced without recourse to special equipment or expertise, thus facilitating repair and maintenance in the
field and simplifying support logistics by return of modules
(instead of complete engines) to contractors for overhaul.
The problem of sea-water corrosion has been largely overcome by the use of anti-corrosive materials in the compressors
and the complete absence of magnesium from the engine.

Wasp
(left)
Currently in service with the Royal Navy, as well as with four other
leading navies of the world, the British-designed and built
Wasp has proved to be a very capable helicopter for shipborne
operation.
Powered by
a
Mk 503
Rolls-Royce Nimbus gas turbine, this
seat general-purpose helicopter has a specially designed
undercarriage, incorporating fully castoring lockable wheels
5/6
allowing normal operation from small platforms on destroyers
and frigates in adverse weather and sea conditions. Anticoning and anti-droop stops in the main rotor head facilitate
starting and stopping in high winds.
The Wasp also has facilities for the addition of a power hoist
for rescue missions, and the rear seats and stretcher installations
can be folded back to provide adequate freight stowage space.
Sea King (right)
The Sea King, the world's most advanced anti-submarine search
and strike helicopter, is now in operational squadron service
with the Royal Navy. This versatile and powerful long-range
helicopter is fitted with two Rolls-Royce Gnome H 1400 gas
turbine engines of 1500shp each. Its equipment includes the
latest automatic flight control system and an integrated sonar-

Although the primary role of Sea King is all-weather antisubmarine operations from either ship or shore, it can be readily
adapted to a number of secondary roles, including commando
transport, air/sea rescue and mine sweeping.

SA 330
(left)
Currently being built by Westland Helicopters Limited and Societe
Nationale Industrielle Aerospatiale, the SA 330 will be the new
tactical helicopter for operation by the French Armed Forces
and the Royal Air Force.
The SA 330 is a twin-turbine aircraft with a four-bladed main
rotor and a five-bladed tail rotor. It has all-terrain landing gear
and easy accessibility for maintenance, facilitating a quick
change of major components. It is capable of a number of
operational roles, including troop transport (carrying 16 fully
equipped troops), ambulance duties, search and rescue and
freight transport. There is also a VIP transport version.
SA

main cabin.
The bow is fitted with a
clamshell' door. The buoyancy tank, two
main longitudinal walls either side of the
central main cabin, superstructure and
machinery and systems aft of the control
cabin are common to the various versions
of the craft. The forward superstructure is
designed so that it can be adapted to the
required variant with the minimum change.
The fan intake, control cabin and other
double-curvature surfaces are of glassreinforced plastics.
Although new in design, the Wellington
makes extensive use of components and
constructional techniques employed on
the Mountbatten. The engine, transmission
gearboxes and propeller are identical with
those of the larger craft.
Directional
control is achieved by the swivelling
propeller pylon; the air-porting and skirtlift system are similar to that used on the
Winchester and the Warden.
Two small auxiliary power units provide
supplies independent of the
electrical
main engine. Radar and other navigational
aids enable the craft to operate effectively

centre cabin is designed to carry vehicles; troops and
small stores are carried in side cabins.
For logistic work, ancillary equipment and armament are kept to a minimum to give a greater payload
capacity.
However, lightweight armour can be fitted
at the expense of payload, to protect vital areas such as
the control cabin and engine.

SR.N6 Class
military hovercraft
Since its introduction to commercial and military service
1965, the Winchester (SR.N6) Class hovercraft has
logged more hours than all other types of hovercraft put
together in operations in all parts of the world.
This experience has played a significant part in the
successful development of the Winchester as a fast,
in
dependable and versatile vehicle ideally suited for
naval and other military duties.
To date, these craft have entered fully operational
service with the defence forces of four nations. Being
fully amphibious, the Winchester can
cross surf,
beaches, marshes, swamps, scrubland, snow and ice
without hindrance and is capable of establishing
reliable lines of communications in areas denied to other
forms of transport.
At an all-up weight of 11 000 kg, the Winchester
can be fitted with a wide variety of equipment for
military duties.
This equipment can include light
defensive armament and armour, strengthened side
decks to facilitate loading/unloading from ships, racks
for carrying external loads, a roof hatch for crane
loading, air conditioning or forced-draught ventilation
and heating equipment and a wide array of sophisticated
radio and navigation equipment.

Military version of
Vosper Thornycroft VT1
The 80-ton semi-amphibious Vosper Thornycroft VT1
hovercraft design can be adapted to a military role. A
higher performance will result from the installation of
two Rolls-Royce Proteus gas turbines as the main
propulsion machinery and two Rolls-Royce Darts asthe
lift machinery, with a greater depth of skirt for improved
sea-keeping ability. Propulsion can be by means of
water jets contained in retractable skegs. The craft will
have a speed of over 110km/h (60 knots). It will be
able to operate in nominal water depths with some
ability to clear obstacles such as logs, sandbars and
submerged booms.

The armour-piercing rocket head weighing 1 -245 kg (275 lb) consists of a core of
tungsten carbide around which is moulded a body of resin and aluminium powder
which has a high penetration capacity. The target effectiveness in terms of hole and
fragment damage is comparable with that of some shaped charges of larger diameter
This head, designed for maximum blast and fragmentation effect, is a cylindrical light
alloy case filled with high-explosive, detonated by a fuze No 942 screwed into its nose.
The fuze incorporates a delay arming device to ensure that the rocket is at least 1 20 m
(400 ft) from the aircraft before it is armed. The weight of the complete head is 1 475 kg

Using the same light alloy case as the high-explosive head, the practice head is filled with
an inert compound and has a nose plug to represent the fuze, the complete head weighing

The rocket motor shown at the left comprises four main components: the
motor tube, the propellant charge, the igniter and the fin-venturi unit.
A feature of the motor is the small ignition delay over the working
temperature range, an essential feature
when
selected.
A propellant charge, occupying most of the steel motor tube, has a starshaped hole through its entire length to permit a constant burning surface;
its outer surface is inhibited by an ethyl-cellulose coating. Also the composition of the propellant is so designed that any variation in burning
time in different temperature conditions is minimised.
The igniter, placed immediately on the front end of the propellant
charge, combines a 'radhaz' filter for protection against premature ignition
by high-power radio and radar transmission. An obturator and a spacer
ripple firing
is
placed over the igniter completes the assembly which is locked in the tube
by a shell ring, sealed to prevent the escape of gas. The shell ring is
threaded to accept the rocket head.
The steel fin-venturi unit is screwed into the rear of the motor tube.
Rectangular fins are provided on a collar at the rear of the unit and are
normally restrained in the closed position by a strap until the rocket is
loaded. When launched, the fins are opened about 1 metre in front of the
launcher by springs and are then locked in the extended position.
An end cap, crimped to the venturi of the rocket, provides a seal for the
motor and the radhaz' protection disc. The end cap acts as a retention
device for the rocket when loaded into a launcher. It also carries a firing
socket which connects with a filter and the igniter.

2-inch rocket system
for air-to-air
and air-to-ground attack
2-inch rocket system, now in world-wide
has been designed by the British Government
Research and Development Establishments to provide
the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force with a simple,
low-cost, versatile system coupled with a highly
effective attack capability.
Having an operational
speed range extending from hovering to supersonic
flight, the system is readily adaptable to any fixed
or rotating-wing aircraft, including those which may
be subjected to catapult take-off and arrested landing
The
For these reasons and particularly because of its
superior performance, the 2-inch rocket system is now
being used as an effective weapon in the air-to-air
role in addition to the conventional air-to-ground
configuration.
For example, the BAC
Lightning
employs two special 2-inch rocket pods constructed
integral with the aircraft fuselage as its conventional
weapon system, secondary to its guided missiles.
Any conventional aircraft using a simple reflector or
angular velocity gunsight can employ this modern
technique by fitting 2-inch multiple launchers to the
underwing pylons or strong points.

Stores distribution systems
Type 'F auto-selectors may be used
for distributing
pulses around weapon carriage systems, or through the
aircraft system.
These designs are available for distributing pulses two, four or six ways, but other ways
can be provided. The distributors may be of the type
which, when supplied with a train of pulses, continues
to distribute it round the system, constantly repeating
the distribution pattern. Alternatively, they may be of
the type which goes through one distribution sequence
and then stops, irrespective of the number of additional
pulses supplied to it.
The basic auto-selector unit
consists of a latching relay with a 5A switching
capability,
and an associated charging/discharge
circuit which ensures that the relay is switched when
the operating pulse is removed. The complete module
is a welded assembly and the complete unit is encapsulated in a resin to produce a rugged construction.
The auto-selector is made up from a number of basic
units.
Each unit
is
rigidly
secured to a mounting
and the wiring between the units
formed by film
system which
ensures that the connections made between modules
must always be identical and correct. This is achieved
by fitting the printed circuit directly over the projecting
wires to which it is connected.
The No 5 Mk 2 fusing unit is an electromechanical
device. It consists of a housing assembly, solenoid
assembly, plunger and spring assembly and is used to
fuse the stores when dropped from the weapon carrier.
The fusing unit is electromechanically operated, and
is used in conjunction with a fusing cable attached to
the store. The weight of the fusing unit is 85 g (3 oz).
It operates on a voltage of 21-29 V dc.
The No 4 Mk 1 fusing unit is also electromechanically
operated, but incorporates the fusing cable which is

intended for high-speed very low-altitude duties between
30 m and 300 m, for example Mach 1 at 50 m.
This role calls for a high picture repetition rate, a fast shutter
speed, a very responsive automatic control of exposure level and
very accurate high-speed image movement compensation.
When allied with colour in stereo the intelligence gathering
capability of the F.1 35 camera is unquestioned.

Hydraulic
for aircraft
filters
and ground use
Based on more than 20 years' experience, the Fairey
Hydraulics range of aircraft hydraulic system filters has
a combination of housings and filter media capable of
meeting the most exacting demands of modern military
aircraft.
Filtration is a specialist branch of aircraft
engineering which has a considerable effect on an
aircraft's economy and reliability in service. The need
for adequate filtration extends to the ground rigs used
to service hydraulic equipment and a range of filters
available for this purpose. The increasing complexity
hydraulic systems used in armoured fighting
vehicles and other military equipment is providing a new
range of applications for Fairey's service- proved filtration
is
against substances formed by decomposition of fluid.
Fairey's choice of filter media covers the requirements of the five principal filter locations:
1.
Fine filtration down to 15 micron in the highpressure delivery line immediately downstream of
the pump for general system protection.
2. Tubular or disc-type filters in the 75 to 200 micron
range at the inlet to each critical component as a
protection against gross contamination.
3.
Ultra-fine filtration, to 3 micron and better, in the
of the

In combustion research we engineer, organise and

projects, very small annular combustion chambers have
been designed for gas turbine starters and auxiliary
power units. To meet the demands on the combustion

Supply-dropping parachutes
Six overseas forces have ordered the new GQ Unicross
expendable/optionally re-usable supply-dropping parachute assembly which is undergoing trials with British
static line-
operated fully steerable parachute will be in service
with British troops this year. It was developed in
conjunction with the British Ministry of Technology
and its design permits, for the first time, paratroops and
para-medic teams to avoid ground obstacles as they
land.
The new parachute also uses a new three-point hook
and D-ring fastening harness incorporating special
shoulder release fittings. These allow the canopy to
be collapsed immediately on landing so that the paratrooper is not dragged along prior to releasing his
harness. Special D-rings are also fitted to the harness
attaching the reserve parachute and the CSPEP
(carry straps, personal equipment parachutist). Both
these items are
products.
Another new
product is the synthetic QF/QD
seat-type parachute assembly, which was developed
from the seat-type Mk 10 assembly. This new parachute has been ordered by the Finnish Air Force.
Synthetic materials replace canvas and flax used for
the Mk 10 and the harness has been re-designed to
permit fitment of the latest Capewell '1 h shot' shoulder
canopy releases. These releases permit the airman to
shed his harness quickly, because the canopy can be
collapsed immediately on landing.
The advantages of this new parachute, compared
with the Mk 10, are:
1
because of the use of synthetic materials throughout, the equipment has a much longer useful life
2
the equipment is more comfortable to wear
because the harness can be adjusted more easily
divestment is quick and simple by merely releasing

Automatic release
for
parachutes
The Hitefinder automatic parachute release Type D/1
Mk 2 is designed to open a free-fall parachute in the
event of the user failing to pull the ripcord handle at
or above the minimum safe opening height.
Pre-setting of the Hitefinder to operate at a selected
height is a straightforward operation requiring the
adjustment of one dial graduated in millibars. The presetting operation is done in conjunction with a special
calculator provided with the instrument and the only
information required by the user is the ground level
pressure prevailing at the DZ (dropping zone). Having
registered the DZ pressure reading on the calculator,
the pressure equivalent to the required parachute
opening height can be quickly determined, without
further adjustment of the calculator, and set up on the
dial of the Hitefinder.
Before jumping, the parachutist withdraws an
arming pin, either manually or by static line, to enable
the Hitefinder to operate at the pre-set pressure. The
operating sequence is initiated during descent by an
aneroid capsule which progressively contracts because
of increasing atmospheric pressure. At a specific
height above the operating height the aneroid capsule
collapses to a point where a time delay mechanism
powered by a compression spring is freed. At the
termination of the time delay, the compression spring
is
released to provide the motive power by which
means the rip pins are withdrawn and the parachute is
opened. The time delay is provided to ensure that
when a jump is made at or below the height at which
the Hitefinder is set to operate, the parachutist is well
clear of the aircraft before the canopy deploys.
The
Hitefinder can also be embodied in non-man-carrying
parachute systems and is particularly ideal for use
where delayed opening of a canopy at a specific height
above ground
level
is
required.

Artificial horizon
Type FH.14 and horizon gyro Type FH.15 are self-contained, electrically operated
gyros operating from a 1 1 5V, 400Hz, single-phase or 3-phase supply.
The artificial horizon FH.1 4 provides information of the movements of an aircraft, in pitch and roll, by means of a
spherical presentation. The horizon gyro FH.15, which is otherwise identical with the FH.14, differs only in that,
in addition, it is equipped with toroidal potentiometers on the pitch and roll axes.
Aircraft attitude is displayed by the position of a two-colour spherically shaped drum relative to a fixed symbol
in the centre of the instrument glass. The division of the colours
blue sky/black ground
extending across the
face of the instrument represents the true horizon. The drum carries a perspective display in the 'ground area' in
one design, the length of the pitch reference lines increasing with pitch angle. Thus, at extreme pitch attitudes,
when the horizon reference line may be out of sight, the pitch reference lines define the roll plane. A roll indicator
is incorporated in either the top or bottom half of the presentation.
Electrical means are used to erect, and maintain erect, the gyroscope to the vertical. The pitch-bank system
of monitoring during turns is incorporated. Arrangements are also made whereby the operation of an external
push switch increases the erection rate to approximately 30 times its normal value. Operation of this switch in
unaccelerated flight erects the gyro rapidly to the vertical position from any attitude.

for military
and
civil
navigation
Compass systems
Sperry manufactures a complete range of compass systems for
conventional and rotary-winged aircraft, including:
CL11 a high-performance system giving a free drift rate of better
than 1 degree per hour.
Variants of this system are fitted to a wide range of
military and civil aircraft including the Hawker Siddeley
Nimrod, Hawker Siddeley Dominie, Fiat G91 and Westland
C2G
SGP-500 Series platform
C2J
The Sperry SGP-500
is a small, low-cost, lightweight, Rotorace
twin gyro system consisting of a gyro reference unit (GRU),
an electronic unit (EU) and control panel, providing highly
accurate and reliable outputs of heading and local vertical. It is
based on the design and manufacturing techniques embodied
in the development and production of a family of platforms
(TGP) for aircraft that include Lightning Mks 3, 5 and 6, Mirage
111-0 and 4A, Buccaneer 2S Mk 50 and Mk 2, and Vulcan B2.
Wessex, Sea King, and WG13 helicopters,
a lightweight standby system currently used in the Lockheed F104G and Hawker Siddeley Harrier aircraft.
Similar to the C2G but having multiple heading outputs,
the C2J comprises a magnetic detector, a compass controller and a gyro amplifier master unit (shown below).
This system is specifically designed for use in highperformance aircraft, and is specified for the British versions of the Jaguar.
VGL-200
vertical gyro
vertical gyro VGL-200 is a compact lightweight
providing an accurate vertical reference, using synchros
to transmit pitch and roll attitude information.
A liquid-level/
torque motor erection system is employed and provision is made
for initial fast erection to eliminate the need for a mechanical
caging system.
The gyro element has freedom in pitch of _ 85 deg and full
freedom in roll. It has a free drift rate (with the erection system
cut off) of less than 1 5 deg/h. The erection rate is approximately
2-25 deg/min and the gyro element settles to define the gravity
vertical to within 025 deg.
The Sperry
TGL-100 transfer gyro
unit
The TGL-100
transfer gyro system is a new portable lightweight
instrument designed to align rapidly and accurately aircraft
heading references to a known heading [before aircraft take-off.
The instrument is equally suitable for both land- and carrierbased aircraft.
The time required for aligning each aircraft
system is 1 5 sec, while the azimuth accuracy is better than
0-1 deg rms.
Transfer gyros have been sold to the air forces
of France,
Germany,
Australia,
South Africa and
Italy.

data services
The
specialist staff of International Aeradio Ltd has met the
chart and flight data requirements of all types of air
operations for more years than any other organisation in
the world.
The high quality and accuracy of its products derives from
many years of practical experience and from continuous
close contact with operating personnel in all branches of
aviation both civil and military in the UK and abroad.
The service is unique, being not merely the initial provision
of flight documentation but its regular systematic up-dating.
The first annual subscription includes the initial supply of
complete flight documentation for the territory defined by
the subscriber, and thereafter all revised and reprinted
charts and flight data are posted weekly.
The detail appearing on International Aeradio charts is
shown on the reverse side of this sheet. Supplementary
publications give navigational aid and communications
listings, air traffic control regulations and much other data
necessary for flight planning and in-flight reference. Part of

four years the company has been actively
engaged in the production of another series of maps for
microfilming in connection with a moving-map display for
installation in the new generation of aircraft now being
manufactured and delivered., The company leads the world
in this new method of displaying to aircrews the information
they currently obtain from paper maps and charts. Operators
whoare contemplating usingthis advanced equipment should
write to the Company's Aerad Flight Documentation and

Cloud base recorder system
for airfields or meteorological stations
This system, approved by the British Meteorological Office, consists of three units: a transmitter, a receiver, and a
recorder, and is designed to record continuously on a chart the height of the cloud base. The system operates on
the triangulation principle in which the transmitter scanner emits a modulated light beam. The receiver, vertically
aligned and tuned to the light beam modulation frequency, feeds the cloud signal to a phase-sensing circuit in
the recorder. The recorder contains a chart mechanism, in which the pen is deflected in synchronism with the
transmitter scanner motion.
Transmitter
The transmitter
mm
unit contains a 406
(16 in) parabolic searchlight
mirror producing a beam of 2 divergence, with a 200
quartz iodine
projector lamp as the light source. Under normal operating conditions the
minimum lamp life is 800 hours. A revolving shutter disc, driven by a
synchronous motor, is placed between the lamp and the mirror to
modulate the light at a constant frequency of 900 Hz.
A photocell picks up from the mirror a 900 Hz reference signal which is
amplified and fed to the recorder.
The searchlight assembly is pivoted so that the beam scans in elevation

Gloster Saro's wide experience in the design, development and manufacture of aircraft fuellers has made
them first choice by the world's leading oil companies.
Produced in lightweight aluminium alloy, these units
have considerable anti-corrosion and anti-condensation properties which increase their operating life
and reduce maintenance costs to a minimum. They
can also be fitted with a wide range of safety devices.

exacting demands of the new generation of 'jumbo'
and supersonic aircraft of the 1970s.
Gloster Hydrant dispenser
Gloster air transportable fueller
This 13 640 litre unit (shown above) was produced in
co-operation with the British Ministry of Technology to
meet the demand for a low-profile, lightweight fueller
which is air-transportable. Fuelling is achieved either
by the pressure underwing method or the open-line
refuelling
system.
The Gloster Jumbo
jet fueller
This articulated unit (not illustrated) is the largest
fueller in the Gloster range, having a capacity of 80 1 00
litres in a single unit. With a fuelling rate of 4550 litres
(1000 gal) per minute it can meet all known aircraft
requirements.
The fueller can be fitted on a wide
range of chassis and the rear bogie can incorporate selfsteering facilities for high manoeuvrability.
