  "textContent": "A munitions handling vehicle (10) is adapted for loading and unloading weapons in military aircraft. The munitions handling vehicle includes a vehicle chassis (12) and a plurality of wheel axles (14) attached to the chassis. A plurality of omni wheels (15) are mounted on respective wheel axles (14), and cooperate to induce omni-directional movement of the vehicle (10). A mechanical lift (20) is supported by the vehicle chassis. A munitions carrier is secured to a top end of the lift (20), and is movable upon actuation of the lift (20) between a weapons-transport position and an aircraft-access position. In the weapons-transport position, the lift (20) is sufficiently retracted adjacent the vehicle chassis (12) to facilitate transport of weapons in the carrier to and from the aircraft. In the aircraft-access position, the lift (20) is sufficiently extended to enable precision loading and unloading of weapons in the aircraft without repositioning or reconfiguring the aircraft.",
