- Description
- The US Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF) is conducting market research concerning solutions for swing arm mounting of M240 machine guns within fixed structures. Army personnel need to have the freedom of movement with fixed machine guns to fire from openings (window frames) of fixed structures. The base of the windows are approximately one meter above the floor. The operator needs to be able to engage targets with the freedom of side-to-side motion (approximately 160°) and up-and-down (up to 45°). We are seeking solutions that are based on existing products, and not requiring the engineering of one-of type solutions. Potential solutions considered include clamping the mounting bracket to the window frame, and using a mounting tube and pintle post braced to the wall/framing. The second solution is preferred, which would involve fastening the mounting tube to the wall, securing the pintle in the mounting tube, mount one end of the swing arm to the top of the pintle post, and mount the M240 machine gun mount on the opposite end of the swing arm. The machine gun mount must include an ammo can. The REF is requesting information, including pricing, availability, and time to order, of proposed solutions. Proposed solutions must provide information (including drawings) on securing the mounting bracket or the mounting tube. Information concerning the durability and safety-of-use of the entire mounting solution is needed.
