An armed aerial platform (100) includes a weapon for firing a projectile from a barrel (102) that defines a weapon axis (104). The weapon is supported by a single-axis gimbal mechanism (116) within a central vertical slot (112) in a rigid body (108) of a UAV (108) carried by a propulsion system (114) including at least four rotary propulsion units. The gimbal mechanism (116) provides an elevation adjustment of the weapon axis (104), while the azimuth adjustment is provided by motion of the UAV (108) itself.
