Abstract
A stealth weapon module () including a weapon support cage () and a weapon (), with the weapon module () able to be stowed beneath a retractable hard roof (). The roof () is raised and lowered by a hydraulic motor (), and includes a stabilizing cloth () that keeps the roof (), made of interconnected slats (), from pulling apart or otherwise changing shape as it is raised and lowered, even at rates of travel of several inches per second. The weapon module (), with any of various different roof designs including the retractable hard roof (), can be incorporated into either a transportable shell (), able to be moved from one application to another, or can be built into (and so specially adapted to) a structure, such as the back/cab of a sports utility vehicle.
