Abstract

The separately elevatable secondary gun for an armored vehicle has a smaller gun (3) aligned with the main gun (2) to allow a wider height range to be covered when the armament is fired upwardly towards incoming targets. The secondary gun can be part of the elevatable assembly of the main gun, with an adjustable mounting for the secondary gun and its accessories.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein gepanzertes und bewaffnetes Fahrzeug, das sich aus den üblichen Teilen wie Antriebsmotor, Getrieben, Radsätzen oder Kettenlaufwerk, einem Besatzungsraum und einem Gehäuse, das alle Ein- und Anbauten aufnimmt, und einer Waffenanlage zusammensetzt.The invention relates to an armored and armed vehicle, which is composed of the usual parts such as drive motor, gearboxes, wheelsets or track drive, a crew room and a housing that houses all inputs and attachments, and a weapons system.

Bei der Bewaffnung wird ein großer Elevationsbereich für die Waffe immer wichtiger, um nahe und sehr hoch gelegene oder auch nahe und sehr tief liegende Ziele bekämpfen zu können. Dies kann zum Beispiel der Fall sein bei der Bekämpfung von Zielen in oberen Stockwerken von Gebäuden oder bei der Abwehr von Angreifern direkt neben dem Fahrzeug und betrifft vor allem die klein- oder mittelkalibrige Sekundärbewaffnung. Neben der Sekundärbewaffnung betrifft die Forderung nach großer Elevationsmöglichkeit zudem Wurfanlagen für Tarn- und Täuschmittel zur Top-Attack-Abwehr.When arming a large elevation range for the weapon is becoming increasingly important in order to fight near and very high or close and very low-lying targets. This can be the case, for example, in the fight against targets on the upper floors of buildings or in the defense of attackers directly next to the vehicle and, above all, the small- or medium-caliber secondary armament. In addition to the secondary armament concerns the demand for large Elevationsmöglichkeit also throwing equipment for camouflage and deceptive to Top Attack defense.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Vorschläge zur Erweiterung des Elevationsbereichs für Waffen an Fahrzeugen gemacht worden.In the prior art, various proposals have been made for extending the elevation range for weapons on vehicles.

Aus der DE 19927656A1 ist ein gepanzertes Transportkraftfahrzeug bekannt, welches mit einem unbemannten Schartenturm einschliesslich Lafette und Bordmaschinenwaffe als Bewaffnung ausgerüstet ist, der von der Besatzung aus dem Fahrzeuginneren fernbedient wird.From DE 19927656A1 an armored transport vehicle is known, which is equipped with an unmanned fuselage tower including gun carriage and on-board machine weapon as armament, which is remotely controlled by the crew from the vehicle interior.

Naturgemäß ist der Elevationsbereich von einer Hauptbewaffnung durch deren Waffenabmessungen und die Geometrie eines Trägerfahrzeugs begrenzt. Eine Sekundärbewaffnung, die achsparallel zur Hauptwaffe angebracht ist, kann dementsprechend nur den Elevationsbereich der Hauptwaffe erreichen, was in vielen Fällen nicht ausreicht. Deshalb wird der Forderung nach einem großen Elevationsbereich für die Sekundärwaffe konventionell mit zusätzlichen Lafetten unterschiedlichster Ausführung, wie zum Beispiel einer Freirichtlafette, einer bemannten oder unbemannten gesonderten Waffenstation, Rechnung getragen. Richtbare Wurfanlagen für Tarn- und Täuschmittel sind nach dem Stand der Technik ebenfalls als eigenständige Lafetten ausgeführt.Naturally, the elevation range is limited by a main armament by its weapon dimensions and the geometry of a host vehicle. A secondary armament, which is mounted axially parallel to the main weapon, can accordingly only the elevation of the Reach the main weapon, which in many cases is not enough. Therefore, the requirement for a large elevation range for the secondary weapon is conventionally met with additional carriages of various designs, such as a free-lift carriage, a manned or unmanned separate weapon station. Directable throwing machines for camouflage and deceptive means are also designed according to the prior art as independent carriages.

Der Nachteil der vorhandenen Lösungen liegt vor allem darin, daß zusätzliche Lafetten Raumbedarf auf dem Fahrzeug- oder Turmdach haben, wobei Einbauplatz knapp ist und nur mit Einschränkungen und weiteren Nachteilen zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann und zusätzlicher Aufwand getrieben werden muß.The disadvantage of the existing solutions lies in the fact that additional carriages have space requirements on the vehicle or tower roof, with installation space is scarce and can only be made available with limitations and other disadvantages and additional effort must be driven.

Auch ist eine eigenständige Waffenstation aufgrund der zusätzlich benötigten Komponenten wie Richtanlage, Optik usw. aufwendig.Also, an independent weapons station due to the additional required components such as straightening system, optics, etc. consuming.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Sekundärbewaffnung mit sehr großem Elevationsbereich und ohne eigenständige richtbare Lafette in Verbindung mit einer Hauptbewaffnung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Das Erfindungsprinzip sollte sich zudem auf Wurfanlagen für Tarn- und Täuschmittel anwenden lassen.The object of the invention is to provide a secondary armament with a very large elevation range and without independent directional mount in conjunction with a main armament available. The principle of the invention should also apply to throwing equipment for camouflage and deodorant.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Merkmale ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further features emerge from the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine höhenrichtbare Waffenaufnahme für eine Sekundärwaffe an die höhenrichtbare Masse der Hauptbewaffnung angeflanscht, so daß die Sekundärwaffe einen erweiterten Höhenrichtbereich erhält, der über den Höhenrichtbereich der Hauptwaffe hinausgeht.According to a höhenrichtbare weapon mount for a secondary weapon is flanged to the höhenrichtbare mass of the main armament, so that the secondary weapon receives an extended elevation range, which goes beyond the elevation range of the main weapon.

Dabei wird die Sekundärwaffe zum Beispiel seitlich von der Hauptwaffe, wo in der Regel Munitionsmagazine der Hauptwaffe angebaut sind, angebracht als Teil der höhenrichtbaren Teile der Hauptwaffe. Die Sekundärwaffe erhält einen eigenen und von der Hauptwaffe separaten Höhenrichtantrieb. Damit kann die Sekundärwaffe unabhängig von einer Höhenrichtung der Hauptwaffe in Höhe eingestellt werden in einem gewissen Bereich.The secondary weapon, for example, is laterally of the main weapon, where usually ammunition magazines of the main weapon are grown, attached as part of the elevatable parts of the main weapon. The secondary weapon receives its own and separate from the main weapon Höhenrichtantrieb. Thus, the secondary weapon can be set in height regardless of a height direction of the main weapon in a certain range.

Bei Einstellen der Höhenrichtung der Sekundärwaffe mittels der Höhenrichteinrichtung der Hauptwaffe und der Höheneinrichtung der Sekundärwaffe addieren sich die beiden Höhenrichtungen und die Sekundärwaffe kann weiter nach oben oder nach unten als die Hauptwaffe gerichtet werden.When adjusting the height direction of the secondary weapon by means of the height adjustment device of the main weapon and the height device of the secondary weapon, the two height directions add and the secondary weapon can be further up or down as the main weapon.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen darin, dass sich die Elevationsbereiche von Haupt- und Sekundärbewaffnung addieren können je nach Funktionseinstellung und damit ein sehr großer Elevationsbereich für die Sekundärbewaffnung ermöglicht wird. Alternativ zu einer Sekundärbewaffnung lässt sich eine Wurfanlage für Tarn- und Täuschmittel in gleicher Weise an die höhenrichtbare Masse der Hauptbewaffnung adaptieren.The advantages of the invention are that the elevation ranges of main and secondary armament can add up depending on the function setting and thus a very large elevation range for the secondary armament is made possible. As an alternative to a secondary armament, a throwing device for camouflage and deceptive means can be adapted in the same way to the höhenrichtbare mass of the main armament.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Waffenanlage 1 mit Hauptwaffe 2 und Sekundärwaffe 3, die mittels eines Flansches 4 auf einem Fahrzeug (nicht dargestellt) angebaut werden kann. Die Hauptoptik 8 befindet sich am Flansch 4 der Waffenanlage. Eine Sekundäroptik 5 ist unterhalb der Sekundärwaffe 3 angebaut.FIG. 1 shows a weapon system 1 with main weapon 2 and secondary weapon 3, which can be mounted by means of a flange 4 on a vehicle (not shown). The main optics 8 is located on the flange 4 of the weapon system. A secondary optics 5 is grown below the secondary weapon 3.

Figur 2 und 3 zeigen die Anordnung von der Seite und von oben. Die Sekundärwaffe 3 ist außen seitlich an der Hauptwaffe 2 an einem Anbau 6, der als Magazin für Munition fungiert und ebenfalls einen Höhenrichtantrieb 7 für die Sekundärwaffe aufnimmt.Figures 2 and 3 show the arrangement from the side and from above. The secondary weapon 3 is outside the side of the main weapon 2 on a cultivation 6, which acts as a magazine for ammunition and also receives a Höhenrichtantrieb 7 for the secondary weapon.

Figur 4 und 5 zeigen die Hauptwaffe 2 in einer oberen und einer unteren Funktionsstellung der Höhenrichtung und zugeordnet dazu eine obere und eine untere Funktionsstellung der Sekundärwaffe 3, wobei die Sekundärwaffe 3 weiter als die Hauptwaffe nach oben respektive nach unten gerichtet wird.Figures 4 and 5 show the main weapon 2 in an upper and a lower functional position of the height direction and associated with an upper and a lower operating position of the secondary weapon 3, wherein the secondary weapon 3 is directed further than the main weapon upwards or downwards.

Bei der Höhenrichtung wird die Sekundärwaffe 3 zunächst mit der Hauptwaffe 2 ohne Einsatz des eigenen Richtantriebs 7 in der Höhe gerichtet. Bei Anschlag der Hauptwaffe 2 an einen maximalen Höhenrichtpunkt oben oder unten kann die Sekundärwaffe 3 mittels des eigenen Richtantriebs 7 weiter nach oben oder unten als die Hauptwaffe gerichtet werden.In the height direction, the secondary weapon 3 is initially directed with the main weapon 2 without the use of their own leveling drive 7 in height. When the main weapon 2 stops at a maximum elevation point above or below, the secondary weapon 3 can be directed further up or down than the main weapon by means of its own leveling drive 7.

Da die Hauptoptik 8 in der Regel nur im Elevationsbereich der Hauptwaffe 2 agieren kann, ist die Sekundärwaffe 3 mit einer zusätzlichen starr gekoppelten Sekundäroptik 5 ausgestattet.Since the main optics 8 can usually act only in the elevation range of the main weapon 2, the secondary weapon 3 is equipped with an additional rigidly coupled secondary optics 5.

Die Figur 6 verdeutlicht alternativ zur Sekundärbewaffnung 3 eine Wurfanlage 9 für Tarn- und Täuschmittel, die in gleicher Weise wie die Sekundärbewaffnung an die höhenrichtbare Masse der Hauptbewaffnung 2 adaptiert ist. In gleicher Weise wie bei der Sekundärbewaffnung eröffnen sich durch die Kombination des eigenen Richtantriebes mit dem Richtantrieb der Hauptwaffe 2 auch hier große Elevationsmöglichkeiten.As an alternative to the secondary armament 3, FIG. 6 illustrates a launcher 9 for camouflage and deception means, which is adapted to the height-orientable mass of the main armament 2 in the same way as the secondary armament. In the same way as in the secondary armament opens up by the combination of its own directional drive with the directional drive of the main weapon 2 also here large elevation options.
