The mount allows the user unrestricted movement in traversing and elevation while engaging targets. The system is fully compatible with all current U.S military issue weapons systems mounts. Special pintle adapters are available to support foreign weapons systems such as the PKM and DHSKA machine guns. The prefabricated system was primarily designed to be installed in most models of the HMMWV/GMV military vehicles as well as civilian vehicles that are indigenous to the users location. The mount easily fits the HMMWV with no modifications required of the vehicle. Mounting locations and system employment are limited only by the user¬s imagination. The mount can be installed, placed or employed in a great variety of roles and locations, including a ground support role. With the addition of a ground support kit and properly sandbagged, the pedestal mount can be employed in a stand alone role very easily. Examples of this type of employment would be the addition of fire support on the tops of buildings, guard towers, trailers, etc. Also, the pedestal mount can be mounted on rotary wing aircraft for additional fire support. Special mounting kits and components are required for aviation operations. Please specify aircraft model and type of installation desired and we can provide a price quote.

Single wide combat assault ladders The Combat Assault Ladder System (C.A.L.) is lightweight, easily deployable and simple to use. It has revolutionized the world of assault ladders by meeting the demands for a system that has been specially designed for the Special Operations community strictly for breaching targets. The C.A.L. system provides ground commanders with the flexibility to adapt and support changing crisis scenarios by using equipment that was initially deployed. This system gives the greatest amount possible of different configurations from any one ladder system. Since no tools are required in the assembly or disassembly of the ladders or any of the accessories, immediate on-site configurations can be executed rapidly. Because, of it's unique and patented design, ladders may be deployed as a complete system or separated and used as individual ladder sections. The ladder will accept a wide range of accessories that are designed to enhance ladder operation and aid operators in their breaching mission. Since situations may change by the time an assault team reaches its destination, the complete package or individual sections may be reconfigured to suit immediate mission requirements. With the use of this system, the ground commander gains a flexible asset that can be utilized as needed to equip his assault teams or forces with custom configurations with available equipment. Since the primary mission of the C.A.L. system is the assault of aircraft, only the major types of current commercial aircraft were selected as a base line for equipment specifications. This is by no means the extent of the capabilities but only a selection for planning purposes. The system is also capable of accessing heights to second story buildings windows, fire escapes and balconies. Ladders can also be used on security walls of the same height. The shorter ladders used on the smaller series of commercial aircraft can be separated into two individual sectionsfor use in the assault of passenger buses and trains and in some instances first floor dwelling windows. When used with certain accessories, ladder sections can be deployed as observation or sniper platforms that are suspended or leaning against walls or other supportive structures or free standing. With its universal design, any future accessory will also fit current stocks of ladders that are already deployed in the field. Custom accessories or attachments can be designed and manufactured to suit any special requirements that you have and shipped independently to ladders in the field or mission site.
