Default ASP 30mm Cannon

I remember reading about this weapon several years ago and I'm unsure if it ever went into production. As I understood it, it is essentially the chaingun off an Apache AH-64 configured for use in a ground role and could be used on any mount or tripod capable of taking an M2 .50 machine gun. I reckon this could greatly increase the fire power of a HMMWV or similar mounting it in place of a regular mg. Did it go into production/service? Could chain guns from damaged/unservicable AH-64's be modified to this configuration?
