MIL-HDBK-244A, MILITARY HANDBOOK GUIDE TO AIRCRAFT/STORES COMPATIBILITY. The handbook is intended to cover all aspects of aircraft/weapons compatibility: mechanical, electrical, structural, aerodynamic, etc. These are dealt with individually as they relate to various elements of the complete system. The material has been organized to present design guidelines for the five general categories of weapon system components: aircraft, suspension equipment, stores, stores management equipment, and ground support equipment. This information deals with compatibility of the components while the system is on the ground, in flight, and during weapon delivery.
