Gunner Platforms

BMI Defense Systems custom engineers gunner platforms that can be installed in a variety of military or armored vehicles. Our platforms can be mounted directly to the floor, cantilever off of a sidewall, or be integrated into an existing seat structure. The platforms are height adjustable to accommodate the full range of potential gunners from the shortest to tallest (5th to 95th percentile).
 

BMI begins all its designs with the assumption that the vehicle should not be permanently modified in any way that would prevent the vehicle manager from returning it to its original configuration if they choose.  Therefore no cutting, welding, or drilling/tapping of holes is required to complete the installation.

​

BMI Defense Systems' Ratchet Gunner Platforms (RGP) are manually adjustable and do not require hydraulics or electrical assist to achieve the desired height.  BMI's patented ratchet mechanism allows full height adjustability without the need for external pins that are hard to insert. In addition, the actuator pedal drops the platform to full depression in seconds when required. 

The redesigned standing surface of the platform eliminates the safety hazard caused by weapon lube and CLP that typically pools on the surface.  Additionally, the Toe Cue™ provides a positive stop to keep the gunner's feet from slipping off the edge and allows him to know where his feet are located on the platform without looking down.
