Description

The invention relates to a weapon system for a combat vehicle with the features of the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a combat vehicle with the weapon system and a method for defeating reactive armor.

Combat vehicles are usually equipped with armor to protect the vehicles themselves and their crew from fire from enemy combat vehicles. In addition to active and passive armor systems, so-called reactive armor is also known, with the main armor of the combat vehicle also being provided with cover plates, which are usually blasted off with explosives when a projectile penetrates, in order to at least partially compensate for the effect of the projectile. To combat combat vehicles with reactive armor, so-called tandem shaped charges are used, among other things, which comprise two shaped charges arranged one behind the other. The first shaped charge detonates the reactive armor and prevents the effect of the second shaped charge from being weakened. However, such tandem shaped charges have a low flight speed, which can have a disadvantageous effect in duel situations.

For example, the reference describes DE 4114145 C1 a warhead with a tandem shaped charge for combating reactive armor, which has a rail in front of the main shaped charge at a distance from the longitudinal axis on the side facing the reactive armor, which penetrates the plate of the reactive armor lying opposite the warhead, forming an opening. The spike of the main shaped charge can pass through the opening without any performance-reducing interaction with the plate.

The invention is based on the object of creating a weapon system which is characterized by efficient combating of the armor system of enemy combat vehicles.

This object is achieved by a weapon system having the features of claim 1, a combat vehicle having the features of claim 11 and a method having the features of claim 12. Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims, the following description and the attached figures.

The invention relates to a weapon system which is designed and/or suitable for a combat vehicle. The weapon system includes a weapon arrangement with at least or exactly two barrel weapons for firing ammunition. In particular, at least one of the two barrel weapons is designed as a main weapon and/or the other barrel weapon is designed as a secondary weapon of the combat vehicle. One barrel weapon, in particular the main weapon, is preferably used to combat heavily armored targets and the other barrel weapon, in particular the secondary weapon, is used to combat lightly armored targets and/or area targets. Depending on the combat situation, the two barrel weapons can be used independently or in combination. The two guns can be aligned and optionally arranged side by side or one above the other. In particular, the barrel weapons can be arranged in a rotatable turret of the combat vehicle. The two barrel weapons can be loaded with ammunition from the combat vehicle.

The weapon system includes a fire control device which is designed to coordinate the firing of the two barrel weapons. In particular, the fire control device has a fire control computer which is designed to determine fire control and aiming data for the weapon arrangement as a function of the type of ammunition and/or target coordinates. The fire control device is preferably used to control a pointing device, with the pointing device converting a pointing movement of the weapon arrangement on the basis of the pointing data supplied by the fire control device. Furthermore, the fire control device can have one or more sensors for detecting and/or detecting and/or tracking a target.

In the context of the invention, it is proposed that the fire control device be designed, based on a fire command, to first fire one barrel weapon at a target and then to fire the other barrel weapon at the target, so that the ammunition of the two barrel weapons hits the target at the same meeting point one after the other. In particular, based on the fire command, the weapon system can be used to combat active, passive or reactive armor of an enemy target. In particular, the target is a stationary or moving ground target, preferably an enemy combat vehicle. The fire command can be entered and/or selected manually via an input console of the fire control device. In particular, the two barrel weapons are fired automatically in a fixed time sequence after the command to fire has been entered or selected. In particular, the first firing of one barrel weapon serves to weaken the armor and the second firing of the other barrel weapon to penetrate armor in the weakened area. In the case of reactive armor, the first firing serves preferably to trigger the reactive armor and the second firing to penetrate the main armor. The two barrel weapons are preferably matched to one another in such a way that the ammunition of the two firearms hit the same meeting point of the target with a time delay.

The advantage of the invention is that a weapon system is proposed which is characterized by particularly effective combat against armored combat vehicles. In particular, with just one fire command, an automated sequence for firing the barrel weapons at the same target can be carried out, so that the armor can be effectively combated by several consecutive hits based on the fire command. In addition, a weapon system is proposed which is characterized by a high level of effectiveness in combating reactive armor, with the reactive armor and the main armor being able to be penetrated with just one fire command.

In a specific embodiment, it is provided that the fire control device is designed to track the weapon assembly after the first firing of one barrel weapon and/or before the second firing of the other barrel weapon in order to correct a deviating point of impact of the barrel weapon. In particular, the tracking of the weapon arrangement serves to compensate for different impact points of the ammunition of the barrel weapon on the target. Preferably, one of the two guns can be rigidly mounted and the other gun can be adjustably mounted. Alternatively, however, both barrel weapons can also be adjustable relative to one another. The aiming device is preferably designed to transfer the aiming movement to the barrel weapon to be tracked in order to correct the point of impact. In particular, a barrel weapon is first aimed at the target and fired, and then the other barrel weapon is adjusted and fired, so that the ammunition of the two barrel weapons hit the target at the same point or the same meeting point one after the other. A weapon arrangement is thus proposed which is characterized by precise combating of armor.

In a specification, it is provided that the fire control device is designed to carry out at least one height correction of the weapon arrangement in order to correct the point of impact. In particular, the height correction serves to achieve the same point of impact in the case of different ballistic values, for example different trajectories of the ammunition. For example, the height can be corrected for different types of ammunition. Optionally, in addition, the fire control device can be designed to carry out a lateral correction in order to achieve the same point of impact when the barrel weapon is aligned in the same direction and/or parallel. For example, the side correction can be made to compensate for a distance between the two guns. The fire control device is preferably designed to control the aiming device in order to implement an elevation and/or windage correction of the corresponding barrel weapon on the basis of the aiming movement. A weapon arrangement is thus proposed which is characterized by an exact alignment of the barrel weapons with respect to one another.

In a further implementation, it is provided that the fire control device is designed to adjust a firing sequence of the two barrel weapons in such a way that the ammunition of the two barrel weapons hit the target at the meeting point in immediate succession. In particular, the barrel weapons are fired at a time interval which is defined as a function of the type of ammunition. In particular, the time interval between the first and the second firing is coordinated in such a way that the ammunition from one barrel weapon reaches the target immediately after the arrival of the ammunition from the barrel weapon fired first. A time interval between the arrival of the ammunition can be less than 2 seconds, preferably less than 1 second, in particular less than 0.5 seconds. Alternatively or optionally in addition, the time interval between the arrival of the ammunition can be more than 0.1 seconds, preferably more than 0.7 seconds, in particular more than 1.5 seconds. By adjusting the firing sequence, the ammunition from the two barrel weapons can arrive in such a short time that the target has no time to initiate effective countermeasures. A weapon system is thus proposed which offers a decisive advantage over conventional weapon systems, particularly in duel situations.

In a further specification, it is provided that the ammunition of the two barrel weapons have different flight speeds after firing, in particular when using different types of ammunition. In this case, the fire control device is designed to adjust the firing rate of the barrel weapons in such a way that a time interval between the impact of the ammunition on the point of impact is less than a time interval between the firing of the two barrel weapons. The setting of the firing sequence preferably serves to coordinate and/or compensate for the different flight speeds. For this purpose, the ammunition with the lower flight speed is preferably fired first fires and is at least partially caught up by the ammunition with the higher flight speed, so that the time between the impacts on the target is shorter than the time between firing.

In a further specific embodiment, it is provided that the two guns are aligned coaxially and/or axially parallel. In particular, one barrel weapon, in particular the secondary weapon, can be arranged to the left or right of the other barrel weapon, in particular the main weapon. Alternatively, one barrel weapon, in particular the secondary weapon, can also be arranged above or below the other barrel weapon, in particular the main weapon. Alternatively or optionally in addition, the two guns can be arranged on the same level or offset from one another. “Coaxial” is preferably to be understood to mean that the core axes of the two barrel weapons are oriented in the same direction and/or parallel to one another. Due to the coaxial arrangement of the guns, a common aiming device can be used for both guns. A small angle could also be fixed between the two tubes. Then no realignment would have to be carried out at a certain target distance and less realignment at other target distances.

In a further specification, it is provided that the tank cannon can be adjusted relative to the machine cannon (on this below).

In a further development it is provided that one barrel weapon, in particular the main weapon, is designed as a tank cannon and the other barrel weapon, in particular the secondary weapon, is designed as a machine cannon. In particular, the tank gun is designed as a smoothbore gun, which is designed to fire ammunition with a caliber of more than 100 mm and/or less than or equal to 140 mm. In particular, the automatic cannon is designed as a fully automatic rapid-fire cannon, which is designed to fire ammunition with a caliber of more than 15 mm and/or less than or equal to 50 mm. In particular, the machine cannon is rigidly mounted relative to the tank cannon, with the tank cannon being operatively connected to the aiming device to correct the point of impact. To combat the armor, the machine cannon is preferably fired first and then the tank cannon. A weapon arrangement is thus proposed which is characterized by effective combating of armored combat vehicles with combined firing. Another advantage is that by using the autocannon independently of the tank gun, a larger number of lightly armored targets can be effectively engaged compared to an onboard machine gun.

In a further development it is provided that the tank gun is designed to fire KE ammunition. In particular, "KE ammunition" is an armor-piercing projectile that uses the kinetic energy (KE) of its projectile to penetrate armor, particularly the main armor, of the target. Alternatively or optionally in addition, the automatic cannon is designed to fire MK ammunition. In particular, “MK ammunition” means any ammunition that is designed and/or suitable for the automatic cannon (MK). The MK ammunition can also be formed by a kinetic energy projectile or by a projectile filled with explosives, in particular a grenade. In particular, after firing, the MK ammunition has a slower flight speed than the KE ammunition. Since the MK ammunition is slower than the KE ammunition, the time interval between the firing of the autocannon and the tank gun can be adjusted such that the target is hit by the KE ammunition immediately after the MK ammunition at the same point of impact. As a result, the KE ammunition hits a spot on the main armor that has been weakened and/or no longer damaged by the previous hit with the MK ammunition, e.g. B. is protected by the reactive armor. A weapon arrangement is thus proposed which is optimized in particular with regard to combating heavy armor, in particular reactive armor.

In a further implementation, it is provided that the automatic cannon is designed to fire the MK ammunition as a single shot or a burst of fire at the target. In particular, the automatic cannon is designed to fire precisely one projectile of the MK ammunition at the target in the case of a single shot. Alternatively, the automatic cannon is designed to fire at least two, preferably more than three, in particular more than five projectiles directly one after the other at the target in the event of a burst of fire. In particular when firing a burst of fire, it can be guaranteed that the armor of the target will be significantly weakened by the multiple incoming projectiles before the arrival of the KE ammunition and/or that the reactive armor will be triggered, especially when using smaller calibers.

In a further specification, it is provided that the tank gun can be adjusted relative to the machine gun. In particular, the relative elevation of the two guns can be adjusted by the aiming device. The fire control device is designed to set a trajectory for the KE ammunition in accordance with the point of impact of the MK ammunition.

A further object of the invention relates to a combat vehicle with the weapon system as already described above, the combat vehicle being designed as a tank. In particular, the tank is used to combat ground targets. Optionally, the tank is used to combat air targets. The tank can preferably be designed as a battle tank or as an armored personnel carrier.

• - Abfeuern der einen Rohrwaffe auf das Ziel, wobei die zugehörige Munition eine Reaktivpanzerung des Ziels in einem Treffpunkt trifft;
• - Abfeuern der anderen Rohrwaffe auf das Ziel, wobei die zugehörige Munition eine Hauptpanzerung des Ziels in demselben Treffpunkt trifft.

A further object of the invention relates to a method for overcoming reactive armor of a target, with the weapon system and/or the combat vehicle as already described above. The procedure includes the following steps.

• - aiming the weapon assembly at the target;
• - Firing the one barrel weapon at the target, the associated ammunition hitting a reactive armor of the target at a point of impact;
• - Firing the other barreled weapon at the target, with the associated ammunition hitting a main armor of the target in the same point of impact.

In particular, in a first step, the target is selected by means of the fire control device, with a fire command for combating the reactive armor being implemented by the fire control device after the target has been selected. The steps of the method are carried out automatically at short time intervals based on the fire command. Specifically, first the autocannon is aimed and fired, and then the tank cannon is aimed and fired.

In an intermediate step, the weapon arrangement is tracked after the first firing and/or before the second firing, so that a deviating point of impact of the barrel weapon is corrected. In particular, for this purpose the tank gun is adjusted relative to the machine gun, with the machine gun remaining stationary. To correct the point of impact, at least one altitude correction is preferably carried out by the aiming device in order to adjust the different trajectories of the MK ammunition and the KE ammunition. In particular, with a slower flight speed of the MK ammunition, the tank gun must be lowered in order to match the impact point of the faster KE ammunition with the impact point of the MK ammunition.

In a further intermediate step, the firing sequence of the two barrel weapons is set in such a way that the time interval between the arrival of the ammunition at the meeting point is shorter than the time interval between the firing of the ammunition. In particular, after the autocannon has been fired, the MK ammunition is partially caught up by the faster KE ammunition, so that the time interval between firing is shorter than between the arrival of the ammunition at the point of impact.

Further features, effects and advantages of the invention result from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention and the attached figures. show:

• 1 a schematic representation of a weapon system for a combat vehicle as an embodiment of the invention;
• 2 a combat vehicle with the weapon system of 1 in a combat situation.

1 shows a highly schematic representation of a weapon system 1, which is intended for a combat vehicle 2, as in 2 shown, formed and / or suitable. In particular, the weapon system 1 is used to combat armor plating 14 on enemy targets, in particular an enemy combat vehicle 3, as is shown in 2 is shown. For example, the combat vehicle 2 is designed as a battle tank and the enemy combat vehicle 3 as an armored vehicle, e.g. B. another battle tank trained.

The weapon system 1 essentially comprises a weapon arrangement 4 , a fire control device 7 and an aiming device 8 . The weapon arrangement 4 has a first barreled weapon 5 and a second barreled weapon 6 . The first barreled weapon 5 is in the form of a tank gun 9 and the second barreled weapon 5 is in the form of an automatic cannon 10 . The tank gun 9 forms a main weapon and can be designed, for example, as a 120 mm smoothbore gun. The automatic cannon 10 forms a secondary weapon and can be designed, for example, as a 30 mm rapid-fire cannon.

The automatic cannon 10 is aligned in the same direction as the tank cannon 9 . The tank gun 9 has a first chord axis A1 and the machine gun 10 has a second chord axis A2, with the first and second chord axes A1, A2 being aligned parallel to one another. In particular, such an arrangement is also known as a coaxial arrangement, with the tank gun 9 and the machine gun 10 or the first and second chord axes A1, A2 being aligned parallel to one another at all times.

The tank gun 9 is operatively connected to the aiming device 8 , the aiming device 8 being designed to transmit a pointing motion to the tank gun 9 . The machine gun 10 is rigidly mounted relative to the tank gun 9 and thus remains stationary when the tank gun 9 is adjusted. The fire control device 7 is connected to the aiming device 8 in terms of signals, with the fire control device 7 being designed to actuate the aiming device 8 to correct a point of impact and/or to calibrate the two barrel weapons 5 , 6 . In this case, the aiming device 8 is designed to pivot the tank gun 9 about a pivot axis S.

The tank cannon 9 can be equipped with KE ammunition 11 and the machine cannon 10 with MK ammunition 12. In this context, KE ammunition 11 is understood to mean ammunition that acts on the target solely because of its kinetic energy. MK ammunition 12 is understood to mean ammunition which is suitable for firing from the automatic cannon 10 . For example, as MK ammunition 12 grenades with a guide ring or armor-piercing shells can be used.

The current generation of main battle tanks has armor 14, which is increasingly protected by reactive armor, also known as "explosive reactive armor (ERA)". The reactive armor has the function of significantly reducing or compensating for the effectiveness of the KE ammunition 11 . For this purpose, the reactive armor is arranged in the form of tiles on the passive main armor, for example steel or composite armor, the tiles being made up of a metallic cover plate and an explosive layer underneath. When the KE ammunition 11 hits the reactive armor, the explosive layer explodes, causing the cover plate to be thrown against the KE ammunition 11 .

For example, it is known to penetrate such reactive armor by firing multiple shots with the main weapon. However, there is no possibility of eliminating the opposing combat vehicle 3 with the first firing of the main weapon. There is therefore a risk that the enemy combat vehicle 3 will initiate appropriate countermeasures after the first hit before its own main weapon is ready to fire again. An alternative is the use of so-called tandem HE ammunition, which can penetrate reactive and main armor in one shot. However, the tandem HE ammunition has a significantly slower flight speed than the KE ammunition, so that a disadvantage can arise, for example, in surprising duel situations with the opposing combat vehicle 3 .

The fire control device 7 is designed to coordinate firing of the tank gun 9 and the machine gun 10 based on a fire command in order to overcome the armor 14, in particular the reactive armor, of the opposing combat vehicle 3. For this purpose, the fire control device 7 is designed to fire the tank gun 9 and the machine gun 10 automatically in a specific time sequence based on the fire command, in order to penetrate the armor 14, in particular the reactive armor and the main armor, with just one fire command. For this purpose, the fire control device 7 first triggers the automatic cannon 10, which fires the MK ammunition 12 at the target by means of single fire or by means of a burst of fire. The fire control device 7 then triggers the tank gun, which fires the KE ammunition 11 at the target. The MK ammunition 12 triggers the reactive armor and deactivates it, as a result of which the following KE ammunition 11 hits the unprotected main armor. The MK ammunition 12 and the KE ammunition 11 hit the target so quickly one after the other that the opposing combat vehicle 3 has no time to take effective countermeasures, such as. e.g. B. shoot back to initiate. Thus, a weapon system 1 is proposed which allows efficient combat against a combat vehicle 4 protected by reactive armor 3 .

2 shows the combat vehicle 2 with the weapon system 1 in a duel situation with an opposing combat vehicle 3, which is protected by the armor 14, in particular reactive armor. The tank gun 9 and the machine gun 10 are integrated in a turret 13 of the combat vehicle 2 and can be equipped with the respective ammunition 11, 12 from inside the combat vehicle 2.

1. 1. Die Maschinenkanone 10 wird auf das Ziel ausgerichtet;
2. 2. Die Maschinenkanone 10 wird abgefeuert (Einzelfeuer oder kurzer Feuerstoß), sodass die MK-Munition 12 das Ziel in einem Treffpunkt TP trifft.
3. 3. Die Panzerkanone 9 wird auf das Ziel nachgerichtet (z. B. etwas tiefer);
4. 4. Die Panzerkanone 9 wird abgefeuert, sodass die KE-Munition 11 das Ziel in dem Treffpunkt TP der MK-Munition 12 trifft.

To combat the armor 14 of the enemy combat vehicle 3, the enemy combat vehicle 3 is detected by the fire control device 7 as a target and the fire command z. B. triggered by pressing a button. After triggering the fire command, the following steps take place automatically and at short intervals one after the other:

1. 1. The autocannon 10 is aimed at the target;
2. 2. The autocannon 10 is fired (single fire or short burst) so that the MK ammunition 12 hits the target in a point of impact TP.
3. 3. The Panzerkanone 9 is aimed at the target (e.g. a little deeper);
4. 4. The tank gun 9 is fired so that the KE ammunition 11 hits the target in the point of impact TP of the MK ammunition 12.

The special sequence of steps 1 to 4 ensures that the armor 14 is first weakened by the MK ammunition 12 at the point of impact TP and is immediately hit or penetrated by the KE ammunition 11 at the same point of impact TP. The MK ammunition 12 and the KE ammunition 11 arrive at such a short time interval that the opposing combat vehicle 3 has no time to react to the attack. For example, the MK ammunition 12 and the KE ammunition 11 hit the target less than one second apart.

The KE ammunition 11 and the MK ammunition 12 have different ballistic values and thus different trajectories F1, F2. Here, the KE ammunition 11 has a higher flight speed than the MK ammunition 12, so that the tank gun 9 correspondingly lower before firing the KE ammunition 11, as in FIG 2 indicated schematically, must be readjusted in order to correct the different points of impact. For this purpose, the fire control device 7 controls the aiming device 8 in order to transmit the aiming movement to the tank cannon 9 in order to implement an elevation correction.

Due to the different flight speeds, it is possible to adjust the firing sequence of the automatic cannon 10 and the tank cannon 9 in such a way that the time interval between the arrival of the MK ammunition 12 and the KE ammunition 11 at the meeting point TP is shorter than the time interval between the Firing the MK ammunition 12 and the KE ammunition 11. This is possible because the KE ammunition 11 has a higher flight speed than the MK ammunition 12 and can therefore partially catch up with the MK ammunition 12 that has already been fired.

Due to the automated firing of the two barrel weapons 5, 6 in quick succession and at the same target, the KE ammunition 11 can be used effectively to combat reactive armor 14. Furthermore, in addition to combined firing, independent use of the two barrel weapons 5, 6 is also possible. Thus, the automatic cannon 10 can be used independently of the tank cannon 9 to economically and efficiently engage a larger number of lightly armored targets without wasting the scarcely stocked ammunition for the tank cannon.
