What is the new style chock used for missiles and bombs?

• A. Breakaway Cable
• B. Conventional Bomb Chock
• C. Universal Munitions Chock
• D. Shackles

Answer: (C)

The essential idea here is that ordnance restraints are meant to securely seat weapons in their mounts across different types and configurations. The Universal Munitions Chock is designed to be the one restraint interface that fits a wide variety of missiles and bombs, rather than needing a separate chock for each weapon type. This universality streamlines inventory, reduces the chance of using the wrong restraint, and ensures consistent seating and a solid hold during loading, taxi, and flight until release.

In practice, this means the new style chock provides a fast, reliable locking mechanism that works with multiple munition shapes and sizes and integrates smoothly with the launcher system. That versatility is what makes it the best answer for a device specifically described as the new style chock used for missiles and bombs.

Breakaway Cable serves a separate safety purpose related to handling and release dynamics, not as the restraint device securing the weapon. Conventional Bomb Chock is older and not universal, and Shackles are mounting hardware rather than the chock itself.
