MIL-DTL 83538 (Aircraft Separated Missile Connector Assembly with 1760 Launcher Rail)
The connector system has three independent parts: aircraft connector, missile connector and buffer connector. The connector assembly complies with MIL-DTL-83538. The buffer connector is connected to the aircraft connector via a kinematic joint to prevent damage to the aircraft connector during missile firing. The missile connector incorporates a flexibility of movement capability that facilitates attachment to the aircraft connector structure.
Connector with Lanyard (MIL-DTL 38999 Series-3, 26WJ20PN)
The lanyard connector is designed for missile and bomb systems released in a high shock and vibration environment and complies with MIL-DTL-38999.
