Weapons Division and Alliant Tech Systems sign
CRADA to develop injection loading technology

ith a vision for the future and a commitment to
help it become a reality, Capt. Douglas W Cook,
Vice Commander ofthe Naval Air Warfare Center
Weapons Division, and Roger Heinisch, of Allian! Tech Sys-
.tems, recently signed a cooperative research and development
agreement to develop injection loading technology.
While the.acronym for cooperative research and develop-
ment agreement used to be "CRDA," it bas recently changed
to "CRADA," noted MaMa Harrington, from the Commer-
cial Application & Transfer Office at China Lake.
Alliant is involved in production loading of munitions and
weapons development, while the China Lake site of
NAWCWPNS is involved in the development of explosive
formulations for munitions, Harrington said. AlIiant's home
office is in Edina, Minn.
Various programs have been investigating alternate explo-
sive fills in munitions to help meet Navy insensitive muni-
tions requirements, noted Tim Mahoney, a scientist in the
Ordnance Systems Depanment. These alternative fills have
been plastic bonded explosives, which, unlike the currently
used melt·cast explosives, do not flow readily, he explained.
They have to be pushed or injected.
Therefore, the China Lake site of NAWCWPNS has been
developing ways to load these explosives by using injection
loading technology. "This new technology is much faster and
more reliable than what we are now using," stated Chuck
Newmyer, bead of the Industrial Liaison Office at China
Lake. "It will belp many, if not all, oC our programs we (the
Navy) have."
In 1985, Gordon Fawkes, a chemical engineer at China
Lake, designed the bench·scale injection loader. In 1986,
another injection loader was built by Mahoney, wbo has been,
and still is, modifying and operating it. In 1988, another
Navy facility was tasked to build a pilot plant scale injection

action''', but China Lakers were
nonetheless on camera recently when
the Navy Broadcasting Service sent a Navy
News This Week crew here.
Two days of filming at China Lake and one
day at Point Mugu will result in features about
both Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Divi·
sion facilities airing on the weekly program
sent to the world-wide Navy community.
10I Quinton Lyton and PH2 Ken McK-
ether, assigned to the Navy Broadcasting Ser·
vice in Washington, D.C. filmed men and
women from NAWCWPNS, Naval Air
Weapons Station China Lake, Air Test and
Evaluation Squadron Five (VX-5) and the
Marine Aviation Detachment on the job, sup-
poning the fleet.
The Navy News This Week videotape goes
to all Navy installations and ships. Segments
featuring China Lake are expected to air in
mid-April. The NAWCWPNS Point Mugu site
will be featured in a later broadcast.
Among the China Lake stories included by
the news team are interviews with members of
the Parachute Test Branch in the Range
Depanment's Recovery Systems Division,
sailors from VX-5's Powerline Division (the
only such division in a Navy squadron) and
the NAWS China Lake Petroglyphs on the
nonh ranges.
Lyton is one of the Washington-based
anchor reponers. This was his first visit to the
West Coast as pan of the Navy News This
Week team: Cameraman McKether, like
Lyton, has 10 years in the Navy.
The crew was also on location at Camp
Pendleton and in the San Diego area before
returning to Washington.
Both said they enjoyed the challenge of
presenting the news to the' fleet. Finding st0-
ries to repon is never a problem. Finding tbe
time to do them all and finding enough air
time to feature them are the real problems.
