Abstract
In one aspect the invention features a weapon maintenance stand that includes a base plate, a support flange, and a wall structure. The support flange is spaced from the base plate and defines a first plurality holes extending through the support flange. A subset of the first plurality of holes are configured to match a pattern of bolt holes of a deck-mounted weapon system and at least one of the first plurality of holes is configured to receive an alignment structure of the deck-mounted weapon system. The wall structure is attached to the base plate at a first end and attached to the support flange at a second end. The wall structure defines at least one tunnel extending through the wall, with the at least one tunnel being sized to accept umbilical components of the deck-mounted weapons system.

A weapon support system comprising:
- a weapon maintenance stand comprising:
- a base plate defining a first plurality of holes extending through the base plate and a second plurality of holes extending through the base plate;
- a support flange spaced from the base plate, the support flange defining a third plurality holes extending through the support flange;
- a wall structure attached to the base plate at a first end and attached to the support flange at a second end, the wall structure defining a tunnel extending through the wall;
- a plurality of braces attached to the wall structure and the base plate to support the wall structure;
- an umbilical guide structure attached to the base plate and located within a perimeter defined by the wall structure, and
- a deck-mounted weapon system mounted to the support flange such that umbilical components of the deck-mounted weapon system pass through the umbilical guide structure and through the tunnel, wherein a subset of the third plurality of holes are configured to match a pattern of bolt holes of a deck-mounted weapon system and at least one of the third plurality of holes is configured to receive an alignment structure of the deck-mounted weapon system, and wherein the first plurality of holes are located outside of the perimeter and the second plurality of holes are located inside the perimeter, and
- a pallet comprising:
- a top plate defining a fourth plurality of holes extending through the top plate and a fifth plurality of holes extending through the top plate, locations of the fourth plurality of holes corresponding to respective locations of the first plurality of holes of the weapon maintenance stand base plate and locations of the fifth plurality of holes corresponding to respective locations of the second plurality of holes of the weapon maintenance stand base plate;
- a base structure spaced apart from the top plate;
- and
- a plurality of support legs attached to the top plate at respective first ends, and, at least a portion of the plurality of support legs being attached to the base structure at respective second ends.
A weapon maintenance system comprising:
- a base plate;
- a support flange spaced from the base plate, the support flange defining a first plurality holes extending through the support flange;
- a wall structure attached to the base plate at a first end and attached to the support flange at a second end, the wall structure defining a tunnel extending through the wall;
- and
- a deck-mounted weapon system mounted to the support flange such that umbilical components of the deck-mounted weapon system pass through the tunnel, wherein a subset of the first plurality of holes are configured to match a pattern of bolt holes of a deck-mounted weapon system and at least one of the first plurality of holes is configured to receive an alignment structure of the deck-mounted weapon system.
A weapon support system comprising:
- a weapon maintenance stand comprising:
