Definitions
- the technical sector of the present invention is that of observation systems.
- Observation and / or shooting systems are generally mounted on vehicle chassis and placed in such a way that this vehicle must reveal itself to the target of observation or shooting to carry out a mission in particular in compartmentalized terrain such as urbanized or wooded areas.
- the target can take concealment, dodge or retaliate. Once revealed to its target, the vehicle is vulnerable to aggressive action by that target.
- the lifting means can be used for lifting, clearing land, etc., by being provided with appropriate tools.
- the object of the present invention is to give versatility to a lifting means carried by a vehicle and to an observation system by providing an appropriate interface on the elevation means allowing the connection with any observation system and an appropriate interface on the observation means allowing its connection with the elevation means or a supporting structure .
- Another object of the invention is to allow the use of the lifting means of a vehicle with an observation means carried by any carrying structure, for example the vehicle itself.
- Another object of the invention is to produce multi-purpose vehicles intended to fulfill not only observation and / or shooting missions, but land development operations or operations for handling or lifting loads and / or of people.
- the subject of the invention is therefore an observation and / or firing system intended for an observer housed in a vehicle, characterized in that the vehicle is provided with means for raising the observation means, said means being supported by a supporting structure, said lifting means being equipped with an interface for power supply and communication with the observation means.
- the observation means consists of a cupola adapted to the bearing structure and removable with respect to the latter.
- the cupola is a component of the usable supporting structure, said supporting structure being a vehicle.
- the lifting means is constituted by the maneuvering arm of the vehicle.
- the cupola is equipped with control means actuated by the observer when this cupola is supported by the lifting means or fixed to the vehicle.
- the cupola is equipped with sensors for measuring distance or identifying vehicles or targets.
- the sensors are type cameras daylight, low light level, thermal infrared, light intensification, radars, optical or laser rangefinders, imagers, optical detectors or goniometers.
- the cupola is equipped with offensive devices intended to neutralize, destroy, blind a target.
- the offensive devices consist of grenade launchers, automatic weapons, cannons or mortars, missile launchers or lasers.
- the observation means comprises a base capable of adapting to the bearing structure and to the lifting means, a first mobile cradle along a first axis (Dl) relative to the structure bearing under the action of a motorization means, a second mobile cradle along a second axis (D2) under the action of a motor relative to the first cradle, and power and communication interfaces between the structure base, the first cradle and the second cradle.
- the vehicle is equipped with means for controlling the observation means from the cockpit, means for receiving the signals transmitted by the observation means, and means for viewing images.
- the offensive devices and the observation means are fixed to the second cradle.
- the lifting means, the motorization means and the observation means are supplied with electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy.
- a very first advantage of the system according to the invention lies in the modular design of the observation system since the lifting means can take care of any cupola. This feature is important insofar as the destroyed observation means can be released and replaced by another means taken from another bearing structure.
- Another advantage is the resulting versatility of the means of elevation. Indeed, the arm being provided with a versatile interface, it is possible to adapt different systems to it without modifying the elevation function.
- FIG. 1 is a view of a vehicle equipped with the observation means
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cupola
- Figure 3 is an exploded view of the cupola

- the arm is actuated in elevation by cylinders 7 and 8 and is controlled by the operators housed inside the vehicle in a completely conventional manner and the position of use thereof is decided by these operators.
- the cupola 4 connected to the vehicle 1 by a connection interface 9 which will be described more fully below. This interface 9 allows the use of all or part of the functions of the cupola by the operators.
- the cupola 4 integrates observation and / or firing means and this cupola can be supported by the arm as will be explained below.
- the cupola 4 comprises gripping means intended to cooperate with the manipulator arm thus constituting an elevation means.
- the excavator 6 must then be separated from the arm in order to cooperate with the cupola.
- the manipulator arm 3 already equips the vehicle 1 support.
- the arm 3 or lifting means can be constituted by a telescopic mast or an articulated arm or by a combination of an articulated arm and a telescopic mast.
- This elevation means 3 can be equipped with different interfaces to support the cupola 4, the excavator or any other element.
- It further comprises connection means for supplying the control energy, for example electrical, and for ensuring the commands from the vehicle to the cupola and the transfer of the information collected by the observation means.
