... пројекат наоружавања Ф-106 топом...


 Citat:Project Six-Shooter
... The F-106A surprised everyone by having good maneuverability and showing potential as being an excellent dogfighter. There were some thought to using the F-106 for top cover in Vietnam. Among suggestions were to apply tactical camouflage, fit a clear-view canopy, and add internal cannon armament.
Although the F-106 never actually did serve in Vietnam, the suggestion of the addition of a gun was taken seriously. The gun was not intended for air-to-air combat against enemy fighters, but was primarily intended to provide extra firepower for a better close-in kill potential against enemy bombers, but it was thought that it might also be useful in attacking bombers flying at low altitude.
In 1968 the Foreign Technology Division of Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) conducted evaluations at Groom Lake called 'Have Doughnut' and 'Have Drill/Have Ferry' to evaluate the effectiveness of existing tactical maneuvers by USAF and USN combat aircraft against the MiG-21 Fishbed (Have Doughnut') and Mig-17 (Have Drill/Have Ferry)... These excersies included the F-106, results which helped substantiate the need for cannon armament on the Six. The ADC evaluated the F-106 and found its radar capable of acquisition of the MIG and that radar snap-up attack with all aspect armament could be used to exploit the MiG-21's lack of fire control. The F-106 could use better acceleration to get beyond MiG-21 speed limits. A direct result of this evaluation was the ADC recommendation to “expedite fitting the internal gun, redesigned canopy, radar warning and ECM equipment into the F-106”. ADC 13 missions with the F-106A Delta Dart and following the missions at Groom Lake recommended the expediting fitting the internal gun, redesigned canopy, radar warning and ECM equipment into the F-106...
In support of a cannon armament program Convair issued a proposal to re-equip the F-106 with an internal cannon, an optical gun-sight, and a clear-view cockpit canopy in a program known as Project Six Shooter in 1972 headed by Bob Archibald. The internal 20-mm M61A1 rotary cannon with 650 rounds was fitted inside the rear half of the weapons bay, replacing the Genie nuclear-tipped rocket. However, the four AIM-4F/G Super Falcon missiles could still be carried.
The gun system was installed as a package (pod) inside an enclosure mounted inside the rear of the weapons bay between the rear missile launcher rails providing an aerodynamic shield for the portion of the gun protruding below the missile bay and out into the air stream. Gun-equipped F-106As could be distinguished by a bulged fairing underneath the fuselage which provided clearance for the rotating barrels of the cannon. As part of the program, a new "clear-topped" canopy was tested, which eliminated the metal strip above the pilot's head, markedly improving the cockpit visibility.
The gun installation was first tested 10 February 1969 on F-106A 58-0795 and subsequently on F-106A 59-0092. A prototype gun-sight was developed at Tyndall AFB. According to a FY75 ADC History document research by Marty Isham, a total of 75 guns were made by contract at GE and the gun was installed only on those F-106s that had vertical tape instruments. When firing, the Vulcan was limited to only 4500 rounds per minute, compared to the 6000 rpm available when installed on the F-4E, due to limitations in the hydraulic pump which rotated the weapon.
This innovation was not provided for the F-106B two-seater... [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]
