Soldier creates device that speeds up Apache missile system rearming

"...Sgt. Travis Rogers took note of the excessive manpower, time and safety requirements each time his team had to swap out a key piece of gear on an Apache helicopter during rapid refueling and rearming.

The AH-64 Apache’s Reduced Crashworthy External Fuel System, or RCEFS, on the Hellfire missile launcher occasionally needs replacing during the brief refuel and rearm periods that occur in training or combat. ...Currently the cart is in its testing phase at Fort Campbell, according to a service release."
