3D-CAM scrambles for Teledyne Miniature Launch Decoy
To help build a top secret Miniature Air
Launch Decoy (MALD), Teledyne/Ryan Development Engineer Jack Runner put 3D-CAM on the
team.
The MALD is a miniature subsonic turbo-jet only 86" long.
Designed to fly .9 mach at 30,000 feet with a range of over 200 miles, its purpose is to enter well-defended enemy airspace and
emulate the presence of a real attack aircraft like the F16.
With only a month alloted to submit a prototype to a government competition, Teledyne chose 3D-CAM to provide five
essential aluminum castings for the MALD. We were able to deliver castings from the initial designs in about three and a half weeks, giving Teledyne enough time to finish them by the deadline.
"I can't say enough about how much 3D-CAM's engineers were instrumental
in keeping data moving and making sure everything got done in a minimum of time."
Runner told us, "They really jumped through hoops to bring this job in on schedule."
this is text meant just to take up lots of space at the bottom of the page, so that if
there is only a table or something in the content part of this page, the content still
takes up the majority of the screen. if there is not any text here, then sometimes there
will be just a table here, and the left navigation bar to the left will be kinda wide...
