Particular embodiments include a non-dedicated, temporarily installed, airborne special mission payload mounting system which is mechanically interfaced to the Air Deployment System (ADS) rails of a host cargo aircraft. An Adaptive Mounting System (AMS) plate is placed over an ADS rail section and restrained in position. Once the AMS plate is secured, an articulated or fixed position strut can be attached to the AMS plate through the opened side doorway without removing the original door. A removable load transfer brace (LTB) can be coupled from the AMS plate inboard to the floor of the aircraft. The LTB is hinged to the AMS plate, and can be disconnected from the floor of the aircraft and rotated to a vertical position from the AMS plate.
