Abstract: A munition rack comprises a center strongback with an aircraft attachment hookup structure thereon, a first munition deployment structure, including a first munition deployer, affixed to a first outboard end of the center strongback, and a second munition deployment structure, including a second munition deployer, affixed to a second outboard end of the center strongback. The center strongback, the first munition deployment structure, and the second munition deployment structure are preferably dimensioned such that the distance between a first munition deployer transverse midpoint and a second munition deployer transverse midpoint is at least about 19 inches. There is at least one additional munition deployment structure selectively affixed to the bottom of the center strongback at an inboard location intermediate between the first outboard end and the second outboard end.

Abstract: A gun trunnion angular-sensing mechanism (30) is operable with a gun (20) mounted for elevational rotation on a gun trunnion (22). The angular-sensing mechanism (30) includes an angular-position readout device (32) having an input shaft (34), and a pinned parallelogram linkage (46) extending between the gun trunnion (22) and the input shaft (34) of the angular-position readout device (32). The linkage (46) rotates the input shaft (34) proportionately to a rotation of the gun trunnion (22), so that the angular position of the gun trunnion (22) may be sensed.
