## Abstract

A system and method allow for a platform to be collapsed and moved in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a wall rail platform system disposed in a vehicle includes a collapsible platform. The collapsible platform has a position, which is a collapsed position or an un-collapsed position. The system also includes a rail and a carriage. The carriage is attached to the collapsible platform. The carriage is vertically moveable along the rail. The system further includes a soldier restraint system having a seat assembly and a single point release system.

## Claims

A wall rail platform system disposed in a vehicle, comprising:
a collapsible platform, wherein the collapsible platform comprises a position, and wherein the position comprises a collapsed position or an un-collapsed position;
a rail;
an energy attenuation device, wherein the energy attenuation device is disposed between the rail and a floor of the vehicle;
a carriage, wherein the carriage is attached to the collapsible platform, and wherein the carriage is vertically moveable along the rail; and
a soldier restraint system, comprising:
a seat assembly;
an angle sensor mechanism; and
a single point release system.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wall rail platform system of claim 1, wherein the collapsible platform comprises a base portion and a collapsible base portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The wall rail platform system of claim 2, wherein the base portion and the collapsible base portion are attached to each other.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The wall rail platform system of claim 2, wherein the collapsible base portion is disposed upon the base portion when the collapsible platform is in the collapsed position.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The wall rail platform system of claim 2, wherein the un-collapsed position comprises the base portion and the collapsible base portion, wherein the base portion and the collapsible base portion create a horizontal surface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wall rail platform system of claim 1, wherein the carriage is vertically moveable up and down along the rail.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The wall rail platform system of claim 6, wherein the carriage comprises a pull handle, and wherein actuation of the pull handle allows for vertical movement of the carriage along the rail.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The wall rail platform system of claim 7, wherein the carriage is securable to the rail at a plurality of vertical positions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)
