A4MT - Weapons Trailer Hydraulic Heating

Source: sbir.gov Agency: DOD Branch: USAF Program: SBIR Phase I Topic: DAF26BZ03-DV022 Research Area: The MHU-196 Weapons Hydraulic Trailer is a critical Air Force system used to transport, load, and service munitions across bomber and nuclear platforms. Its performance directly supports sortie generation timelines and mission readiness. In cold-weather environments, however, the trailer’s hydraulic systems suffer from degraded performance due to thickened hydraulic fluid, stressed seals, and overburdened pumps. This results in delayed weapons loading, increased downtime, and higher maintenance Status: open Requirements: The MHU-196 Weapons Hydraulic Trailer is a critical Air Force system used to transport, load, and service munitions across bomber and nuclear platforms.
