Project Description
Fleming Technologies was contracted to work with ATK to reverse-engineer the legacy Apache-A Helicopter weapon systems in order to provide interoperability to ATK’s Modernized Rocket Launcher program. Fleming Technologies worked onsite with ATK personnel to evaluate, design, and ultimately produce a demonstration unit.
With the help of hardware design firm Aeronix, Inc., the team was able to successfully build and fly an adaptor module that strapped to the side of ATK’s launchers, and was able to translate from the Apache-A’s weapon system serial interface to the MRL’s MIL-STD-1760 compliant interfaces. The program was confirmed with successful live-fire demonstrations.
