Weapon System Emulation
Butler National Gun Emulators are the ideal way to develop and test new components.
An M230 Chain Gun, controlled by the Butler National B306 GCU, is mounted to a helicopter. BNC Gun Emulators are available for all motor-driven cannons, including the M230.
How it Works
Butler National Gun Emulators make the development process cheaper by eliminating the need for bailment guns, dummy rounds and test equipment. Built-in fault-injection switches and status monitoring lights make it easier to test, debug, and verify system behavior.
A Testing/Development Solution for OEMs
1-1 Gun Replacement
The Gun Emulator runs on vehicle power and connects to control units and vehicle systems just like the gun.
Simplify Testing & Troubleshooting
Fault injection and status lights make it easy to test and verify behavior of control units and vehicle systems.
Reduce Costs
You’ll no longer need a bailment gun, dummy rounds, or a hangfire override module.
Load Banks
Custom load banks are available. Load banks absorb excess electrical load to protect system components during emulator operation.
Gun Emulator Availability
Gun Emulators are available off-the-shelf for all motor-driven guns and cannons.
