Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a turret, particularly for an armoured military vehicle, like for example a tank or an armoured personnel carrier (APC), equipped with a support structure for a firearm, like for example a heavy machinegun.
  • an armoured military vehicle like for example a tank or an armoured personnel carrier (APC)
  • APC armoured personnel carrier
  • armoured military vehicle comprises both wheeled or tracked armoured vehicles capable of withstanding direct shots from light firearms by infantry, and wheeled or more often tracked armoured military vehicles capable of withstanding shots from medium-calibre cannons.
  • Armoured military vehicles typically include a turret that is able to swivel around a vertical axis of rotation and on the upper face of which a firearm, such as for example a heavy machinegun (or autocannon), in other words a firearm firing in bursts projectiles having a calibre of between 20 mm and 40 mm, is mounted, through a suitable support structure, with which a machinegun, in other words a firearm firing in bursts projectiles without explosive charge having a calibre of less than 20 mm, optionally may be associated.
  • a firearm such as for example a heavy machinegun (or autocannon)
  • a machinegun in other words a firearm firing in bursts projectiles without explosive charge having a calibre of less than 20
  • Figure 1 of the attached drawings illustrates an armoured military vehicle 10, in particular an APC (SAVIEM VAB 6x6 model), equipped with a turret 12 (GIAT Toucan 1 model) on which a heavy machinegun 14 (20 mm calibre GIAT M693 model) is mounted through a support structure 16.
  • the turret 12 also includes a machinegun 15 (7.62 mm calibre) mounted parallel to the heavy machinegun 14.
  • the heavy machinegun 14 is hinged to the support structure 16 so as to be able to rotate around a transversal horizontal axis of rotation X to tilt the firing axis of the heavy machinegun upwards or downwards with respect to the horizontal.
  • International Patent Application WO2005/118295 provides a support structure for a firearm on a turret of a military vehicle, comprising a horizontal rotary support shaft, on which the firearm is installed so as to rotate as a unit, and a stand mechanism arranged to move continuously the support shaft vertically between a lower travel-limit position and an upper travel-limit position.
  • the stand mechanism includes four legs hinged in pairs around an axis coinciding with the axis of rotation of the support shaft so as to take up an inverted V-shaped configuration, as well as a worm screw driving device arranged to drive the movement of the two pairs of legs towards or apart from one another, in order to move the axis of rotation of the firearm upwards or downwards, respectively.
  • US patent 4,706,543 discloses a turret of an armoured military vehicle, in particular a tank, equipped with a support structure for a firearm comprising a lower support element intended to be fixed onto the upper face of the turret and a pair of swivel arms arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical centre plane of the vehicle. Each of the swivel arms is articulated at its front end to the support structure and at its rear end to the firearm in an intermediate point thereof.
  • an armoured military vehicle in the illustrated example the VTT SAVIEM VAB 6x6 is generally indicated 10 and includes a turret 12 according to the present invention, onto which a firearm 14 (in the illustrated example the heavy machinegun 20 mm calibre GIAT M693) is mounted through a support structure 16. Parallel to the heavy machinegun 14 it is also possible to install a machinegun 15 (in the illustrated example a 7,62 mm calibre machinegun).
