The commander's workplace 17 and the gunner's workplace 18 are located in the chassis of the combat vehicle, for example, under the armored cap, contain a control panel connected to the fire control system 12, for example, via wired connections.

The proposed combat module works as follows.

The combat module is controlled from the workplaces of the commander 17 and the gunner 18, located in the chassis of the vehicle. Before the combat use of the combat module, the crew loads the ammunition through the hatches 8 of the armored cap 1. Each of the eight rows of ammunition is loaded with one type of ammunition. The type and quantity of ammunition is recorded in the memory of the fire control system 12 using the control panel. The ammunition supply system 9 on commands of the fire control system 12 activates ammunition racks only with the selected type of ammunition. The crew commander, using the commander's panoramic sight 3, monitors the environment and searches for targets. When a target is detected, the commander brings the combat module into "Combat Mode" and transmits the target designation to the gunner. At the same time, the hydraulic drive for preparing the first shot 15, due to the operation of the hydraulic system 13, automatically cocks the mechanisms of the 57-mm automatic high-ballistic gun 2 by performing an artificial rollback, and the ammunition supply system 9 supplies ammunition of the selected type to the 57-mm automatic high-ballistic gun 2, after which it is possible to produce shooting. The gunner, using the gunner's sight 4, captures the target with the automatic tracking machine, measures the range to the target with a laser rangefinder, sets the firing mode, selects the type of ammunition, and fires single shots or bursts. In this case, the fire control system 12 automatically calculates ballistic corrections taking into account the range determined by the laser rangefinder, air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction determined by the atmospheric parameters measurement system 5, the speed and direction of the target movement determined by the target tracking machine, transmits these data to guidance and stabilization drive 10, which, in turn, direct the barrel of a 57-mm high-ballistics automatic gun 2 and a 7.62-mm machine gun mount 6 according to the required elevation and azimuth, issues control commands to the ammunition system 9 about the selected firing mode, type of ammunition and queue length. The 57-mm high-ballistics automatic gun 2 allows firing high-explosive fragmentation, armor-piercing, armor-piercing sub-caliber, multifunctional and guided projectiles. When using ammunition with a multifunctional projectile, the fuse installation equipment 11, taking into account the data on the range to the target from the fire control system 12, enters the flight time (time until the projectile bursts) into the remote-contact fuse of the projectile. When using ammunition with a guided projectile, the fire control system 12 directs the projectile to the target by means of the laser control channel of the commander's panoramic sight 3. After the production of a long burst, the commander or gunner turns on the barrel cooling system 16, which, by injecting a liquid-air emulsion into the barrel bore of a 57-mm automatic high-ballistic gun 2, cools it. When the working fluid in the recoil device 14 overheats, the commander or gunner turns on the hydraulic drive for preparing the first shot 15, which, by performing an artificial recoil, mixes the cold fluid from the hydraulic system 13 into the heated fluid of the recoil device 14. If it is necessary to use a 7.62-mm machine gun mount, the commander or gunner with using the control panel, selects it as a weapon and fires. The preparation time for firing when changing weapons does not exceed 5 s. At the same time, a rigid connection between the 57-mm high-ballistic automatic cannon and the 7.62-mm machine-gun mount and their placement on the same horizontal axis makes it possible to point weapons at one target.

By pointing the 57-mm automatic high-ballistic gun 2 to an elevation angle of -5° to 60°, it is possible to hit air targets. The low recoil force of 70,000 N does not adversely affect the power elements of the carrier object and favorably affects the accuracy of shooting.

Placing the ammunition system 9 with 8 independent ammunition racks, made with the possibility of using up to 8 types of ammunition, inside the armored cap 1 allows you to significantly increase the volume inside the armored weapon model, as well as use multifunctional and guided projectiles, which also ensures the destruction of air targets.

The use of a twin-engine guidance and stabilization drive 10, located inside the armored hood 1, also provides high firing accuracy, both from a standstill and while moving a sample of armored weapons.

Below is an example of a specific implementation of the proposed combat module.

Example 1

Placing a combat module on an armored vehicle of the middle weight category of the BMP-3 type.

The proposed combat module was placed on an armored vehicle of the middle weight category of the BMP-3 type (when replacing the regular fighting compartment). At the same time, the number of troops transported in the chassis increased by 4 people due to the small (0.5 m3) volume occupied by the combat module inside the chassis, as well as due to the placement of the ammunition supply system in the armored cap. During field tests, it was found that due to the use of a 57-mm automatic gun of high ballistics, the range of aimed fire was increased up to 6000 m and the maximum firing range - up to 14000 m. Also due to pointing the 57-mm automatic gun to an elevation angle of up to 60 ° and the use of a projectile with a remote fuse and a guided projectile ensured the destruction of air targets.

Example 2

Placing a combat module on an armored vehicle of the heavy weight category of the T-15 type.

The proposed combat module was placed on an armored vehicle of the heavy weight category of the T-15 type (when replacing the regular fighting compartment). During field tests, it was found that due to the use of a 57-mm high-ballistic automatic gun, the range of aimed fire was increased to 6000 m and the maximum firing range to - 14000 m. Also, due to pointing the 57-mm automatic gun to an elevation angle of up to 60 ° and the use of a projectile with a remote fuse and a guided projectile ensured the destruction of air targets.
