  • Patent number: 10337815
    Abstract: A firearm support for a firearm includes: a body, which is provided with at least one profile on its surface; a feeler pin, for striking against the profile and for being coupled to the firearm so as to follow the movement of said firearm; a support element, rotatable around a first axis (z-z) relative to the body. The support element is suited to be coupled to the firearm, thus allowing mutual rotation between the support element and the firearm around a second axis (x-x).

  • Patent number: 9151573
    Abstract: A remote weapon station (10) includes a firearm (12), which is able to fire ammunitions against a target. A remote control board or panel (14) is arranged at a distance from the firearm (12) and is configured to be activated by an operator, so as to control the firearm (12). An automatic target aiming system (32) is configured to provide the remote control board (14) with target aiming signals, which indicate the position of a target that has to be hit by the firearm (12). The remote control board (14) is assembled on a platform (18) which is adapted to be fitted to an aircraft. A support element (28) mounts on the platform (18) and supports the automatic target aiming system (32) and houses the adjustable firearm (12) in a controlled way by the remote control board (14) as a function of the target aiming signals.
