Breakthrough Missile Technology

- o f f er i ng a K O N G S B E R G Fa m i ly o f h i g h - Pre c i s i on S t r i ke M i ss i l es

KONGSBERG has been prime contractor in cruise missile design, development and manufacturing for over 40 years. The Penguin Anti-Ship Missile developed in the sixties is still one of the preferred anti-ship weapons carried by helicopters. The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) and the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) represent the latest generation of Precision Strike Missiles from KONGSBERG; the JSM is still under development. The NSM is today marketed for naval ships and coast defence systems; on the latter the missile is launched from trucks. The JSM is designed to be carried both externally and internally in the weapons bay of the F-35 Lightning II. Both missiles have a passive imaging IR seeker, and combined with high maneuverability and low signature they are able to penetrate highly defended targets both at land and sea. High maneuverability is achieved by high aerodynamic efficiency and an all composite airframe. KONGSBERG, as prime contractor, is involved from Conops (Concept of Operation) developed together with our customer through to design and development of the missile. A number of the sub-systems in the missile is designed and developed by KONGSBERG, hence this gives KONGSBERG a good understanding of trade-offs required in aerospace design and development work.

Mater i al Han d l i ng, C u tt i ng an d K i tt i ng

The following step-by-step process describes manufacture of a simple composite structure demonstrating KONGSBERG’S manufacturing process at large. There are countless varieties of manufacturing some of which require three autoclave cures. Manufacturing Capabilities and Capacities are found in detail in our separate Manufacturing Capabilities List

6

H i g h p rec i s i on m i ll i ng ( PMM )

Part surfaces are machined, the outer edges trimmed, and the holes drilled. Our Zimmermann PMM provides the high precision milling necessary for large volumes of complex structures. Offering high volumetric accuracy better than 55 microns and large dimensions on parts in an integrated automated manufacturing cell.

Rolls of prepreg (resin impregnated CFPR ) is stored in our automated freezer hadlingsystem at appr. -20°C to delay curing and ensure up to two years shelf-life. The prepreg is cut into different sized pieces based on design requirements. A cutting machine with a vibrating knife enhances cutting quality and capability. Pre-cut kits are stored for large production series.

7

Co - or d i nate Mea s u r i ng Mac h i ne ( C MM )

Subsequent to the milling of the part, it travels down into an automated co-ordinate measuring machine. The part’s dimensions are verified to the requirements. All this happens with the part still attached to its tool, vacuum or mechanically clamped.

2

L a m i nat i ng/lay - u p i n C lean R oo m

The prepreg is placed in moulds, layer by layer, to build structure and strength. The direction in every layer is predefined, influencing strength and stiffness. Laser projectors project the end-of-plies to facilitate its location and sequence in complex structures. Clean Room of 2800 m² offers high capacity for large simultaneous production mixes.

8

In - h o u s e u ltra s o u n d an d x - ray i n s p ect i on

Once a part has been bought-off in the CMM area, it is inspected using ultrasonics to check the integrity of the material; free from pores, other defects or foreign objects. Ultrasonic scanning of highly complex curved surfaces is performed using a Midas 5+5 multi-axis scanner. Further, we are capable of conducting X-ray inspection of thin composite panels up to 250 mm steel or titanium.

3

B agg i ng

Typically a plastic film is placed over the composite component, edges sealed, and air is extracted to prevent entrapping volatiles/air before the mold is placed in the autoclave.

9

Pr i m e an d pa i nt

In order to environmentally seal the composite part/assembly, various types of paints are sprayed onto the part. This can be done manually or using a robot. KONGSBERG uses a CNC Robot ABB with a painting area of 2100 x 4400 mm. To enhance bonding properties primers are also sprayed onto the details.

4

Autoclave / Demould

The autoclave cures the composite material at a pressure typically up to 7 bars and 180°C. Autoclaving is used to ensure high quality and level of repeatability of the production. In Demould, the composite component is taken off the mold and prepared for next operation.

10

Mec h an i cal a s s e m bly

Usually before a part is delivered to the customer it goes into mechanical assembly. After surface treatment/ painting, all mechanical details are drilled/countersunk/deburred before they are bolted/bonded in its correct locations to the requirements. A part is completed after surface treatment. Metals are then mounted such as fasteners.

5

B on d i ng

Parts can be integrated into assemblies. Ingoing details can be composite laminates, various metallic details (steel, aluminium, titanium) or metallic/ non-metallic honeycomb core materials. In most cases the assembly operation is done using various types of adhesives. The preparations prior to adhesive application is of paramount importance and consists typically of chemical cleaning and light sanding/ abrasion to remove any traces of dust, grease or any other contamination which may affect the bonding quality. The bonded assemblies are usually cured in ovens at elevated temperatures to reduce cure cycle times.

11

F i nal i n s p ect i on

At final inspection the part’s build-history is verified. An inspector checks that all operations have been signed off, and all applicable document records have been collected and are in line with both customer and internal requirements.
