Live and expended rounds are moved through the ammunition container by an endless loop carrier belt assembly. Rollers attached to the ammunition carriers, guide and control the carrier belt assembly though parallel tracks within the ammunition container. Complete round control is maintained by the cradling action of these ammunition carriers during straight line runs. Turns around sprockets are used to control the carrier at turn around points. Turn around cartridge guides provide guidance to each round as the round travels through the ammunition carriers, which open during turn around. The three sprockets beneath the second loop are the loading access unit which provides an interface for loading and downloading the system. These requirements are military unique and are not available in the commercial market sector.�� IMPEDIMENT TO COMPETITION: AMSC P - The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources.
