Scorpion is a compact, pneumatic ERU designed to safely carry and reliably eject air-to-ground stores, particularly from within the confines of a weapons bay. It can be powered from an external cold gas pneumatic generator or a preflight charged gas reservoir. Scorpion has been incorporated into two-, three- and four-station carriers to allow multiple carriage of stores either under wing or in a weapons bay, depending on the store and configuration. This ERU provides the high degree of weapon departure control
essential for the safe ejection of small and/or miniature munitions from fast jet weapon bays, multiple store carriers and other high performance air platforms.
