Missile Guidance System Bracket

Name: Missile Guidance CNC Bracket for Aerospace Systems – Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Missile Guidance System Bracket is engineered using low CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) materials such as Invar or titanium alloys to maintain positional accuracy under extreme thermal transients. Rapid aerodynamic heating and propellant exhaust can induce uneven expansion in standard mounts, leading to misalignment of inertial sensors. This bracket maintains dimensional integrity across -55°C to +150°C without inducing stress into the guidance unit chassis.

Material Specification

Dimensional Accuracy

Titanium 6Al-4V (AMS 4928) or Aluminum 7075-T6 (AMS 4045)

Surface Finish

Ra ≤ 0.4 μm (bearing surfaces), Ra ≤ 1.6 μm (structural)

Hardness Requirement

36-42 HRC (Ti-6Al-4V), 150-160 HB (Al 7075-T6)

Heat Treatment

Solution treated & aged (per AMS-H-81200 for Ti, AMS 2772 for Al)

Product Description

Missile Guidance System Bracket incorporates integrated passive damping features validated through modal analysis to mitigate high-frequency vibrations transmitted from launch structures. Conventional brackets without tuned damping profiles can cause phase noise in gyroscopes and MEMS-based IMUs. Finite element-optimized ribbing and elastomeric isolation interfaces allow this bracket to preserve inertial measurement accuracy during acceleration shocks exceeding 20,000 m/s².

Tolerance Levels

ISO 2768-mK (medium tolerance), GD&T per ASME Y14.5

Certification Standard

MIL-STD-810 (environmental), AS9100 Rev D, ITAR compliant

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

100% FPI (Fluorescent Penetrant) per ASTM E1417, X-ray per ASTM E1742

Corrosion Resistance

Anodized (MIL-A-8625 Type III for Al), Passivated (AMS 2700 for Ti)

Vibration & Shock Resistance

Survives 20G RMS random vibration (MIL-STD-810H Method 514.8)

Technical Advantages

Missile Guidance System Bracket ensures minimal flexural deformation under mechanical load, preserving sensor calibration baselines during dynamic flight. The bracket is machined from aerospace-grade billet stock with uniform grain orientation and post-heat treated to T6 or solution-annealed conditions. Torsional stiffness and axial loading thresholds are qualified to prevent positional drift of EO/IR and RF seeker modules under load.

Missile Guidance System Bracket features milled or ground mounting interfaces with surface flatness and roughness controlled below 1.6 Ra µm. High surface deviation in mounting plates can cause stress concentration or angular misalignment at sensor-bracket mating zones. The bracket’s contact faces are precision-controlled to ensure uniform preload distribution and thermal path continuity with mounted guidance subsystems.

Industry Applications

Air-to-Air Missile Systems

Supports IMUs and seeker heads under high dynamic pressure, maintaining inertial alignment during supersonic intercept and maneuvering phases.

Surface-to-Air Missile Platforms

Provides rigid mounting for radar-guided control electronics, withstanding thermal gradients and high launch-induced acceleration loads up to 25,000 m/s².

Ship-Launched Missile Assemblies

Ensures structural integrity of navigation modules in high-humidity, salt fog environments with MIL-spec coatings for long-term corrosion resistance.

Ground-Launched Tactical Missile Systems

Maintains alignment of GPS and inertial modules during canister ejection, vertical launch shock, and rapid acceleration transients.

Cruise Missile Avionics Integration

Houses flight computers and INS packages with vibration isolation to preserve long-duration stability during low-altitude, terrain-following flight paths.

Ballistic Missile Guidance Sections

Supports gyroscopic units and flight logic controllers under intense axial G-loads and aerodynamic heating during exo-atmospheric boost phase.

Corrosion Resistance in Salt Fog and Humidity Cycles

Missile Guidance System Bracket is chemically passivated and finished with MIL-DTL-5541 Class 3 or MIL-A-8625 Type III coatings, ensuring operational longevity in marine and high-humidity deployments. Conventional painted or untreated brackets show pitting corrosion within 96-hour salt spray cycles. This bracket maintains mechanical and electrical bonding characteristics after extended ASTM B117 test conditions.

Missile Guidance System Bracket integrates grounded, conductive finish layers to control EMI propagation paths between guidance PCBs and bracket structure. Improper grounding or insulating oxide films in legacy brackets can introduce loop impedance or signal distortion. The bracket surface conductivity is verified below 2.5 mΩ/sq with dedicated bonding studs and anti-oxidation treatments.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure material traceability for each Missile Guidance System Bracket during production?

Frigate maintains full material traceability from mill certification to final part serialization using AS9100D-compliant documentation. Every bracket is assigned a unique part ID linked to its raw material heat lot. CNC machining records, coating processes, and inspection data are logged in digital travelers. This guarantees accountability for every unit deployed in mission-critical assemblies.

What methods does Frigate use to validate the dimensional accuracy of Missile Guidance System Brackets?

Frigate uses multi-axis CMM inspection to measure flatness, perpendicularity, and true position of mounting features within ±10 microns. Each bracket undergoes first article inspection per AS9102 standards. Complex contours are scanned using laser or structured light systems to verify 3D conformance. This ensures consistent interface compatibility with IMUs, GPS modules, and avionics enclosures.

How are Frigate’s Missile Guidance System Brackets tested for shock and vibration performance?

Frigate conducts mechanical shock testing simulating launch acceleration exceeding 20,000 m/s² per MIL-STD-810. Random vibration tests cover 5–2000 Hz to replicate airborne and launch environments. FEA is used to validate design margins before physical testing. Sensor mounts are checked post-test for displacement and fastener loosening under test loads.

What surface treatments does Frigate apply to improve the Missile Guidance System Bracket’s environmental durability?

Frigate applies MIL-DTL-5541 Class 3 chemical conversion coating or Type III hard anodizing depending on mission environment. Surface conductivity is verified to ensure proper EMI shielding where needed. Coated brackets pass over 168 hours in salt spray per ASTM B117. Optional nano-ceramic sealing further enhances corrosion resistance in maritime or desert operations.

How does Frigate handle design customization for platform-specific Missile Guidance System Bracket requirements?

Frigate supports rapid DFM (Design for Manufacturability) review using customer 3D models or interface control drawings. Custom cutouts, sensor offsets, and cable pass-throughs are integrated without compromising structural performance. Simulation tools assess thermal, structural, and modal impacts of geometry changes. This enables platform-specific brackets to be produced with short lead times and full compliance.
