What happens to the wire after launching a fly-by-wire missile?
In: Engineering
Being a peon Private at Yakima Firing Range in Washington, me and some other guys had to go out and police up the wires where cobras would hover and shoot TOW missiles down range. You could barely see the wire laying on the ground and I would just drag a stick from left to right a few feet and have a bunch of wires snagged, then I would just start spooling them around the stick. After a while walking down range I would have a nice little bundle on the stick. Oh, they are sharp too, and could cut through gloves or your boot laces.
