Abstract: The devices and systems disclosed herein improve on existing weapon system control handles, by replacing complicated spring and cam components with a gauge shaft. The use of a gauge shaft eliminates unnecessary part-complexity and extra assembly labor. The use of a gauge shaft increases operational response and accuracy while decreasing cost and weight of weapon system control handles. Moreover, the gauge shafts can be readily repaired or replaced, reducing the overall costs of maintenance associated with damaged weapon system control handles. In alternative embodiments, a disk gauge is used in place of gauge shafts.

Abstract: An apparatus. The apparatus includes electrical circuitry for selectably controlling a first and a second weapon system different from the first weapon system. The electrical circuitry includes a first switch including a first pole and a second pole. The apparatus also includes a first connector having a first terminal coupled to a common terminal of the first pole. A second connector has a first terminal coupled to a common terminal of the second pole. The first connector is configured to couple to a first weapon system mounted on a mobile platform; and the second connector is configured to couple to a second weapon system mounted on the mobile platform. The first weapons system is configured to operate when the first switch is in a first position and the second weapon system is configured to operate when the first switch is in a second position.
