To resupply a weapons vehicle, a resupply vehicle carries a docking boom which is maneuvered into a docking position to mate a docking head at its free end with a docking port on the weapons vehicle. The weapons vehicle is resupplied with ammunition and fuel through the docking boom. A wire communications link between the vehicles is also established through the boom. The boom docking and resupply operations are remotely controlled from within the resupply vehicle.
