Basic Fire Control Box

The Remote Fire Control Box is a programmable firing system designed to enable safe, repeatable, and precise control of weapon actuation during research and development testing. The system allows users to define and execute custom firing sequences, eliminating human variability and enabling consistent data collection across test conditions.

Multiple firing modes are available to support a wide range of testing applications, including direct user-controlled firing, semi-automatic programmed sequences, and extended actuation for machine gun evaluation. These capabilities make the system well suited for endurance testing, suppressor surge evaluation, and controlled firing cycle development.

Integrated digital outputs allow the control box to synchronize external instrumentation, including data acquisition systems, high-speed cameras, and acoustic sensors, ensuring all data streams are time-aligned during testing.

Key Features

• Programmable firing control for repeatable R&D test sequences
• Three operating modes: manual control, semi-automatic, and machine gun actuation
• Touchscreen interface for defining and storing custom firing profiles
• Dual electronic pneumatic actuation for reliable, redundant operation
• Compatible with shop air or compressed CO2 systems
• Battery-powered for remote and field testing applications
• Isolated digital outputs for triggering external equipment
• Synchronization capability for DAQ systems, cameras, lighting, and microphones
• Compatible with Bighorn modular pneumatic actuator systems

Modular Pneumatic Actuator

The Modular Pneumatic Actuator provides reliable, remote actuation of firearm triggers for controlled testing environments. Designed for flexibility, the system can be adapted to a wide range of platforms, enabling consistent trigger input across rifles, shotguns, and crew-served weapons.

With adjustable mounting geometry and multiple attachment options, the actuator can be configured for both standard and non-standard platforms. This enables safe, repeatable operation during remote firing while maintaining compatibility with a variety of experimental setups.

Key Features

• Pneumatic actuation with up to 45 lbf trigger pull force
• Remote operation capability up to 200 feet from the test fixture
• Adjustable mounting geometry for compatibility with diverse platforms
• Designed for integration with remote fire control systems
• Durable construction for repeated use in live-fire environments

Attachment Options

• Standard pistol grip mounting system for AR-platform rifles
• Traditional field stock mounting configuration
• M2 Browning spade grip interface for M2A1 machine guns
• Custom mounting solutions available for non-standard applications
