MIL-DTL-85097/14D(OS)
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or
order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DOD personnel, these personnel
need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging
requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity within the Military
Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military Department's System Command. Packaging data
retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging
files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The Mk 1 Mod 1 Rocket Catapult is used to eject the pilot from the A-4E/L aircraft.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Issue of DODISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual
documents referenced (see 2.2).
c.
That the contract packaging requirements include the following: that exterior packing of two
loaded Mk 1 Mod 1 Rocket Catapults be in accordance with DL1516349; that single unit

6.3 Definitions.
6.3.1 Booster motor.
6.3.1.1 Maximum acceleration. The maximum acceleration is defined as the highest acceleration during the
booster burning cycle as scaled from the acceleration-time curve. Accelerations are to be expressed in g's.
6.3.1.2 Ignition delay. Ignition delay (ID) is defined as the elapsed time between break wire break and the
first indication of catapult thrust.
6.3.1.3 Maximum onset rate. The maximum onset rate shall be measured from the acceleration curve over
the 0.030 second interval that produces the greatest rate. This interval shall be taken from a portion of the
acceleration curve at least 0.010 seconds after the first indication of acceleration.
6.3.1.4 Separation velocity. Separation velocity is defined as the average velocity of the simulated ejected
weight propelled horizontally at catapult separation measured over the interval from 6-inches-before to 6-
inches-after separation.
