    Abstract: A vibration suppression unit for an aircraft comprising a mass having a center of mass, a first rotor, a second rotor, a first coupling between the first rotor and the mass, a second coupling between the second rotor and the mass, the first and second couplings having first and second coupling centers offset perpendicularly from a central axis of rotation by different radial distances and offset in axially from the center of mass with respect to the central axis by different axial distances, the first and second coupling centers having a selectively variable displacement angle defined by the angle between lines extending between the central axis of rotation and the first coupling center and the second coupling center, respectively, wherein the first rotor and the second rotor are controllable to produce a vibration control force vector having a controllable magnitude and frequency about the central axis.

    Abstract: Ammunition containers are reloadable from within an armored vehicle to supply a remote weapon system mounted externally on the vehicle. The ammunition containers are designed to be fixedly mounted within an internal compartment of a weapon turret. In a first embodiment, at least one guide wall defines a spiral guide path for an ammunition belt, and a rotatable sprocket enables the belt to be loaded into the guide path. In a second embodiment, an ammunition clamp holds a round of ammunition, and the clamp is rotatable to wind the ammunition belt about the clamp's axis of rotation. A third embodiment has a guide sprocket and an adjacent peg to facilitate reloading an ammunition belt in horizontal layers. A fourth embodiment includes a pair of spaced support rails for hanging an ammunition belt in vertical columns, wherein rear ends of the rails may be located outside the container for easier loading.
