An engineering team at Patuxent River Naval Air Station recently redesigned and tested a UH-1Y helicopter weapons mount.
The redesign provides extended ground-firing capabilities for the GAU-17, GAU-21 and M240 weapons. Modifications to the mount ensure that each weapon’s field of fire is increased as much as possible while also ensuring that no part of the aircraft can inadvertently be shot.
