An ejector system for air launched weapons which considers the aircraft, store-ejector and store as a single system rather than as separate components. The system includes a dual-piston store ejector having sufficient ballistic impulse and variable orifice capability to compensate for in-carriage store pitching moments and loads whereby greatly enhanced safe and accurate store separation is obtained.

A controlled store separation system for air launched weapons comprising: a dual-piston store ejector for carrying the weapon; a means for generating fluid pressure for actuating said pistons to eject the weapon; a pair of tubes interconnecting said fluid pressure generating means and said pistons;

A controlled store separation system for air launched weapons comprising: a dual-piston store ejector for carrying the weapon; a means for generating fluid pressure for actuating said pistons to eject the weapon; a pair of tubes interconnecting said fluid pressure generating means and said pistons; a pair of variable control orifice valves, each of which is disposed in a tube between said cartridge and one of said pistons; a plurality of sensors for detecting and signaling flight parameters; computer means responsive to the signals from said sensors for calculating the orifice size required in each value to ensure safe store separation and accurate ballistic trajectory of said store; and means driven by said computer for adjusting each valve to the computed size whereby the ejection force of each piston may be controlled.
