Abstract: A mount configured to quickly attach to an aircraft, such as the MH-6 helicopter, for the use of quickly mounting and demounting a motorcycle without the use of tools. The mount attaches to the aircraft via support arms with ball-lock pins for a quick and toolless installation. The mount supports the motorcycle by supporting the body of the motorcycle by a first support and additionally stabilizes the motorcycle in place by use of a wheel brace, a wheel guide, a foot peg hook assembly, and a foot peg mount.

Abstract: An IDAS compatible weapons mounting platform for a helicopter, such as the UH-1, that allows two weapon stores, including Hellfire, to mount to each side of the aircraft. The platform is compatible with a broad array of weapons, such as the Hellfire and other smart weapons, and increases the total weapon payload to 1,000 lbs per aircraft side, while having positive safety margins throughout the flight profile.

Abstract: A tow plate and active vibration control (AVC) housing configured to couple to a helicopter sponson about an AVC and support a gun mounting system.

Abstract: A remote gun charger including a charger member configured to selective couple to, and disengage from, a gun having a charger handle configured to charge the gun. The charger includes a catch configured to be positioned by the charger member to selectively position the charger handle and charge the gun. The catch has a first position configured to selectively engage the charger handle, and a second position configured to disengage from the charger handle and allow the gun to be fired.

Abstract: A mechanical gun charger configured to charge a gun, including a cradle configured to support the gun. A lever is rotatably coupled to the cradle, wherein an outboard cable coupled between the lever and a first pulley is configured such that displacement of the lever causes the first pulley, a shaft, and a second pulley to rotate. A charging cable is coupled to the second pulley and is configured to couple to and charge the gun upon rotation of the second pulley.

Abstract: A mechanism configured to be coupled to a gun to electronically fire the gun, such as a GAU-21 machine gun, from a location remote from the gun. The mechanism includes a lifter configured to be inserted into a rear portion of the gun proximate the gun's bolt latch bar. A lever is coupled to the lifter and is configured to lift the lifter and the bolt latch bar as the gun reciprocates during firing. An electronic actuator, such as a solenoid, is configured to drive the lever to responsively lift the lifter bar, wherein the mechanism is configured to reciprocate with the gun as it is firing.
