EDO MBM Technology Ltd provide product and design services to ensure the safe and reliable carriage and release of stores from airborne platforms. Having over 50 years of experience in the design and development of bespoke stores interfaces, EDO MBM has proven time and time again their innovative and rapid development systems to ensure single weapon configurations fit across multiple airframe types. Specific areas of expertise include structural analysis through FEA and test facilities, electrical and fuzing requirements, separation timing issues and end-user logistic issues.

	Lug Systems – Bale EDO MBM have supported the design and manufacture of all types of Bale Suspension Lug systems as highlighted in the MIL-A-8591. These systems have been supplied to several different users. Lug Systems – MACE EDO MBM Technology Ltd have designed Minimum Area Crutchless Ejector (MACE) suspension systems for several in-service stores. The systems have been designed with the end-user in mind through the utilisation of current tooling wherever possible.
	Integrated Interface Systems - Enhanced Paveway / Storm Shadow / Paveway III / Paveway IV With the implementation of low cost GPS seeker systems; it has been evident that these systems need to be interfaced onto standard warhead systems. EDO MBM Technology Ltd has been at the leading edge of developing bolt on kits to allow stores to be capable of interfacing with MIL-STD-1760 without having to modify the entire weapon system in service. Recent successes include the Enhanced Paveway programme for the UK MoD where through intelligent packaging the end user has retained maximum flexibility in service without an expensive Return to Works programme or additional containerised systems. EDO MBM's long experience with Enhanced Paveway enabled it to design an innovative solution for the complete weapon-to-pylon interface for the UK RAF Paveway IV programme. EDO MBM will provide all the structural, mechanical and electrical linkages between the aircraft and the weapon guidance and fusing systems. It incorporates a universal interface allowing the weapon to fit Tornado, Harrier, Eurofighter and all future platforms.
	Suspension Systems - LightWeight Stores EDO MBM has developed lightweight store suspension systems to dispense specialised packages from airframes. Due to the nature of the stores and the base carriage equipment a simple and reliable means of separation needs to be based around each application.
	Electrical Arming Interconnects - LEFA / CAFA's EDO MBM have a long history of the design and supply of simple interconnect products which allow the end-user the maximum flexibility to fuze warhead systems effectively. These systems are built onto the stores and provide a frangible link as the store is ejected from the airframe. EDO MBM supplies over 10 different variants into airforces worldwide on both ballistic and precision weapons alike.
