ABSTRACT:
A suspension lug system for use with a jettisonable weapon that provides a mechanical interface between the weapon and a multiplicity of aircraft. The system has a dual-function lug that is disposed in a well when it is in a stowed position, and that is pivotable in opposite directions on a transverse pivot pin. A first end of the lug is configured as a saddle lug that is exposed above the outer surface when the lug is rotated into a saddle-deployed position. The second end of the lug is configured as a clevis that is exposed above an outer surface of the system when the lug is rotated into a clevis-deployed position. A spring is coupled to the lug that spring loads it and returns it to a stowed position when it is not engaged with the ejector release unit to preserve the outer contour of the weapon.
