ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an integral hoist and weapon rack interface assembly adaptable for loading a weapon onto an aircraft. The assembly includes a hoist mechanism positioned at an aircraft weapon station and a separate rack attached to the hoist by straps is lowered into contact with the weapon. After the weapon is attached to the rack, the combination of weapon and rack are raised into engagement with a structural plate supporting the hoist mechanism. A plurality of uplock hooks mounted on the plate automatically engage swaybraces mounted on the rack to mechanically lock the rack to the hoist.
