    Study Notes

    CADS and PADS Overview

    • CADS (Countermeasure Airborne Device Systems) and PADS (Pyrotechnic Airborne Device Systems) are energetic devices that utilize explosive compositions, critical for life-saving operations.

    Examples and Applications

    • Notable examples of CADS and PADS include Aircraft Ejection Seats and Life Support Systems.
    • Impulse cartridges are designed for use with Bomb Racks and other payload mechanisms.

    Regulatory and Documentation

    • The CADS and PADS Data Sheet is documented in TM 43-0001-39, serving as an official reference for these devices.
    • Each type of tag (DD Form 1574, 1576, 1577-2, and 1577) signifies different statuses of equipment (serviceable, test/modification, unserviceable (reparable), unserviceable (condemned)).

    Key Components and Terminology

    • FCDC stands for Flexible Confined Detonating Cord, used in various detonating applications.
    • SMDC denotes Shielded Mild Detonating Cord, offering a more protected detonating option.
    • WCA refers to Window Cutting Assemblies, utilized in specialized cutting applications.

    Thrusters Functionality

    • Thrusters are used for operational tasks, such as releasing cargo hooks in aerial delivery systems and unlocking canopies in escape systems.
    • Components of thrusters include a firing mechanism, pressure cartridge, chamber, and piston.

    Lifecycle and Maintenance

    • Shelf life refers to the duration an item remains serviceable within its hermetically sealed container, starting from the manufacture date.
    • Installed life signifies the period a CAD or PAD can be utilized after opening its sealed container—cannot exceed the shelf life expiration date.
    • Service life refers to the time a CAD or PAD can be reliably operated with confidence in its functionality.
    • Items classified as "on condition" (OC) lack assigned shelf or installed life; replacement occurs when they show wear or defects.

    Tagging System for Equipment Status

    • DD Form 1574 (yellow tag) denotes Serviceable status (CC-C).
    • DD Form 1576 (blue tag) indicates Test or Modification status (CC-D).
    • DD Form 1577-2 (green tag) signifies Unserviceable, Reparable status (CC-E, F, G).
    • DD Form 1577 (red tag) represents Unserviceable, Condemned status (CC-H, P, S).

    Ammunition and Materiel Tagging

    • All suspended lots of ammunition are recorded using DD Form 1575, also known as the Materiel Tag (brown tag).
