Modularized platform for munition canister
A mounting platform is provided for securing munitions. The platform includes a flat plate, a front block and a rear block. The plate includes a plurality of cutout holes. The front block has a first saddle disposed between first flanking ends and at least one extension at one of the flanking ends for inserting into a first opening of the cutouts. The rear block has a second saddle disposed between second flanking ends at least one extension for inserting into a second opening of the cutouts. The munitions are disposable atop the first and second saddles of the front and rear blocks. The munitions are restrained axially against a rear stop block and laterally by the saddles and straps.
Dual purpose vehicle
A jammer which eliminates the need for a bobtail in a forward deployment. The jammer has an outwardly extending boom with a table at the distal end of the boom. The table can mount upwardly extending cradles suitable for temporarily holding cargo, such as a munition, during transport and positioning on the underside of an aircraft wing. The table also holds an upstanding pintle hook. The pintle hook provides for attachment of the jammer to a trailer for towing. Using the jammer for both towing of a trailer and positioning of cargo using the boom eliminates the need for a bobtail, conserving both cargo space and payload weight during deployment.

Fluid power actuator utilizing a screw assembly
A fluid power actuator includes a fluid power actuator housing, a piston assembly, and a screw assembly. The piston assembly is constructed and arranged to move relative to the fluid power actuator housing in response to changes in fluid pressure within the fluid power actuator housing. The screw assembly couples with the fluid power actuator housing and the piston assembly. The screw assembly is constructed and arranged to control movement of the piston assembly relative to the fluid power actuator housing. Such a fluid power actuator is well-suited for various applications such as in loading equipment which is involved in high precision munitions loading, among others.
