This article details a systematic and organized search in the cloud through different databases worldwide, with the purpose of identifying existing technologies concerning transport processes and installation of weapons in military and defense aircrafts, as well as major suppliers or manufacturers of these technologies. It is mentioned a compilation of images and designs of these systems that describe technical specifications such as weight, load capacity, speed, specific functions, type of mechanism, type of aircraft for which it is designed, among others. At the end of the document, a series of conclusions are presented regarding the search carried out, highlighting which are the leading manufacturers of transport systems and installation of ammunition, as well as the countries that generate the greatest number of patents in this regard, what is the purpose of the leading manufacturers when designing ground support equipment; information that will serve as the basis for designing a ground support system that meets the specific needs of the Colombian Air Force, specifically for the AH60L fleet.
