The design, development and testing of a test prototype hydraulic servo recoil system that reduces the recoil forces of the 20mm M197 gatling gun to near-constant levels is described. The system concept, system implementation and engineering, preflight and flight test on board an AH-1G helicopter are summarized. Preliminary conclusions are that the vibrations in the helicopter resulting from gun firing are virtually eliminated. (Author)
