Carrier Bomb, Light Stores

Carrier Bomb Light Stores (CBLS) was designed for carriage and ejected release of up to four practise stores, and release of four powered rockets from side pannier tubes. The equipment is used on a large number of aircraft including fast jets.

CBLS2000 is an improved version of CBLS 200, continuing the facility for carriage and ejected release of up to four practice stores, but removing the rock launch role. The new equipment conforms to the latest MIL specification requirements for the Eurofighter, Gripen and latest Hawk variants.

The CBLS is a carriage structure including four ERU 122 (EX) Ejector Release Units and their control electronics (Autoselector). Designed for carriage on aircraft wing or fuselage pylons, these units have a variety of different load capabilities based upon a robust and prove design.

high maintenance pyrotechnic cartridges that are used for each ejection
