The Intercomp Jack Weigh AC100™ Kit is specifically designed for the extremely accurate and reliable execution of military aircraft weighing and center of gravity calculation tasks. This portable, modular system is ideal for quick and precise weight measurements that comply with strict military specifications during aircraft ground maintenance, refueling, or rapid on-site inspections.

The Jack Weigh AC100™ kit represents the gold standard for weighing military aircraft, ensuring the reliable collection of critical center-of-gravity data for safe operation.

Key Features and Advantages

The Jack Weigh AC100™ kit is designed to meet the highest military standards, combining robust design with advanced digital technology:

• Military Grade Reliability: The system withstands extreme environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibration, and battlefield environments.
• High Capacity Load Cells: The kit includes high-capacity, precision load cells capable of handling the axle and main gear loads of heavy military aircraft.
• Wireless Communication (RFX® Technology): Wireless data transmission is provided between the load cells and the central CPU/display (RFX® technology), minimizing cabling during setup, thereby increasing safety and flexibility.
• Integrated Center of Gravity Calculation: The system can automatically calculate the aircraft's center of gravity (CG) based on the measured axle loads, aiding in quick and accurate weight and balance checks.
• Modular Design: The kit is easily transportable and quickly deployable, ideal for mobile operating bases and remote locations.
• ACWeigh™ Software Compatibility: Measured data can be logged, stored, and analyzed using the dedicated ACWeigh™ software, supporting comprehensive documentation and auditability.

Advantages of the Jack Weigh System in Military Environments

Knowledge of the center of gravity (CG) of military aircraft is not just an administrative requirement; it is the basis of flight safety. Overloading or incorrect weight distribution can have catastrophic consequences, especially during combat operations where maximizing load (armament, fuel) is essential.

1. Fast Installation and Commissioning

Unlike traditional platform scales that require a large, flat surface, the AC100™ Jack Weigh kit can be positioned underneath the aircraft landing gear. The wireless RFX® technology drastically reduces setup time as there is no need to run long, vulnerable signal cables under the wings and fuselage. This is critical during rapid response operations.

2. Precision Data Acquisition

The load cells used in the system are exceptionally resistant to shear forces and distortion, ensuring that the measured values accurately reflect the vertical force exerted on the landing gear. Digital processing minimizes the potential for human error during measurement.

3. Center of Gravity (CG) Calculation Capability

The Jack Weigh AC100™ doesn't just measure weights; the built-in software, or the software running on the TAC30™ CPU, instantly calculates the aircraft's center of gravity using distance data provided by the user (relative to the main measurement points). This function is vital for quickly verifying weight and balance sheets and obtaining flight plan approval.

4. Software Support and Documentation

The ACWeigh™ and the iACWeigh™ software makes it possible to digitize the entire measurement process:

• Database Management: Storage of profiles for various aircraft types (including special military configurations).
• Logging: Every single measurement is recorded with a timestamp, date, and the identifier of the person performing the operation.
• Report generation: Automatic generation of official weight and balance reports that comply with military auditing requirements.

Optional System Components

The flexibility of the AC100™ kit is further enhanced by optional accessories offered by Intercomp, which are often required in the military aviation environment:

• RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator: Allows the operator to read the weight data directly next to the landing gear while maintaining a safe distance from the load cell, without needing to go to the central CPU.
• TAC30™ Touch Screen CPU: The central processing unit that performs the center of gravity calculations and handles all data. Its robust design ensures operation even in harsh environments.
• Calibration Systems: To maintain system accuracy, Intercomp offers CSM™ Manual Test Stands and CSA™ Automatic Test Stands, with which the measuring system can be checked on-site or at a maintenance base and, if necessary, calibrated.

Application Areas in the Military Sector

The AC100™ Jack Weigh Kit is ideal for the following military applications:

1. Pre-Armament and Fueling Inspection: Quick weight verification to ensure maximum load limits are observed.
2. Special Mission Preparation: Determining the center of gravity for configurations not listed in standard aircraft handbooks (e.g., special sensors, auxiliary tanks).
3. Training: Training personnel in weight and balance calculation procedures within the framework of certified training protocols.
4. Rapid Deployment Locations: Ideal due to its portability for temporary airfields where fixed weighing equipment cannot be installed.

The Jack Weigh AC100™ Kit reflects Intercomp's commitment to military aviation, providing the highest level of accuracy and reliability for critical weighing tasks.
