Abstract

On an armoured combat vehicle (10) with a turret (12) for the crew, a lifting device (20) is preferably designed as a two-part articulated arm (22, 23), the upper arm (22) being telescopic. The two combat stages (42, 43) arranged at the upper end of the telescopic arm (22) are each partially or completely movable about the three space axes. The lifting device (20) is so designed that the combat stages (42, 43) remain fully operational even in the lowered transport position of the telescopic arm (22). By means of additional stages (52, 53) in the region of the articulation (24) of the lifting device (20), the combat capacity of the combat vehicle (10) can be further increased. The possibility of controlling all the combat stages (42, 43, 52, 53) independently of one another allows a plurality of targets on the ground and/or in the air to be combatted simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug mit einem Turm für die Besatzung, mit zwei mit Waffen und Visionik ausgerüsteten Kampfplattformen sowie mit einer Hubanlage mit Teleskoparm.The invention relates to an armored combat vehicle with a turret for the crew, with two combat platforms equipped with weapons and vision, and with a lifting system with a telescopic arm.

Ein gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug dieser Art ist Gegenstand der DE-OS 34 37 625. Bei diesem Kampffahrzeug mit teleskopierbarem Knickhebelausleger ist eine zweite Plattform im Bereich des Knickgelenks angeordnet. Diese zweite Plattform kann Waffen, aber auch Versorgungs- und Betriebsmittel, Tarnstoffe, Löschmittel, Dekontaminationsmittel und dergleichen, aufnehmen. Auch eine Verwendung der zweiten Plattform als Kran, beispielsweise für Montage- und Reparaturarbeiten am Kampffahrzeug, ist vorgesehen.An armored combat vehicle of this type is the subject of DE-OS 34 37 625. In this combat vehicle with a telescopic articulated arm, a second platform is arranged in the area of the articulated joint. This second platform can hold weapons, but also supply and operating materials, camouflage materials, extinguishing agents, decontamination agents and the like. Use of the second platform as a crane, for example for assembly and repair work on the combat vehicle, is also provided.

Ein weiteres Kampffahrzeug mit einer am oberen Ende eines teleskopierbaren Knickarms angeordneten, um alle Achsen stabilisierbaren Kampfplattform mit zusätzlich ausfahrbarer Visionik ist Gegenstand der DE-PS 31 20 338.Another combat vehicle with a combat platform arranged at the upper end of a telescopic articulated arm that can be stabilized about all axes and with an additionally extendable vision system is the subject of DE-PS 31 20 338.

Ein gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug mit einer Kampfplattform am oberen Ende eines Teleskopmastes, der zwischen der Waagerechten und Senkrechten verschwenkbar am Deck des Kampffahrzeuges angelenkt ist, ist in der DE-OS 30 29 294 offenbart.An armored combat vehicle with a combat platform at the upper end of a telescopic mast, which is pivotably articulated on the deck of the combat vehicle between the horizontal and vertical, is disclosed in DE-OS 30 29 294.

Militärische Fahrzeuge mit einer am oberen Ende eines senkrecht stehenden, lediglich ein- und ausfahrbaren Teleskopmastes sind Gegenstand der DE-OSen 29 45 278 und 22 05 826.Military vehicles with a telescopic mast at the upper end of a vertical, only retractable and extendable are the subject of DE-OSen 29 45 278 and 22 05 826.

Die DE-OS 35 24 244 offenbart schließlich ein gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug mit einem als Integrationsgehäuse bezeichneten drehbaren Turm, auf dem ein Knickhebelmast montiert ist, an dem eine Kampfplattform montiert ist. Die Waffenträger dieser Kampfplattform sind um bis zu 180 Grad um die Querachse schwenkbar zum Zweck der Nachmunitionierung aus einem im Turm angebrachten Munitionsmagazin.DE-OS 35 24 244 finally discloses an armored Combat vehicle with a rotating tower called an integration housing, on which an articulated mast is mounted, on which a combat platform is mounted. The weapon carriers of this combat platform can be swiveled by up to 180 degrees around the transverse axis for the purpose of re-ammunition from an ammunition magazine installed in the turret.

Bei der Konstruktion derartiger gepanzerter Kampffahrzeuge ist eine Vielzahl von Forderungen und Pflichten einzuhalten, die zu technischen Kompromissen führen. Eine Bedingung ist, daß zwei Ausstiegsluken für die Besatzung vorhanden sein müssen, die nicht blockiert werden. Eine weitere Bedingung ist, daß die Kampfplattform und deren Visionik möglichst hoch angeordnet sein sollen, um maximale Sicht und maximales Schußfeld zu haben. Andererseits soll aber der Gesamtaufbau des Kampffahrzeuges auch möglichst niedrig sein, um optimale Deckung zu finden. Eine weitere Bedingung ist, daß die Kampfplattform und ihre Hubanlage möglichst leicht sein sollen, damit das Gesamtfahrzeug nicht toplastig und instabil wird, daß aber andererseits die Kampfplattform so stabil gelagert sein muß, daß Richten, Zielen, Schießen und Verfolgen ohne Störungen möglich sind.When designing such armored combat vehicles, a large number of requirements and obligations must be met that lead to technical compromises. One condition is that there must be two exit hatches for the crew that are not blocked. Another condition is that the combat platform and its vision should be arranged as high as possible in order to have maximum visibility and maximum field of fire. On the other hand, the overall structure of the combat vehicle should also be as low as possible in order to find optimal coverage. Another condition is that the combat platform and its lifting system should be as light as possible so that the entire vehicle does not become top-heavy and unstable, but that on the other hand the combat platform must be mounted so stably that straightening, aiming, shooting and tracking are possible without interference.

Neben derartigen mechanisch-konstruktiven Bedingungen muß ein modernes Kampffahrzeug taktisch-konstruktiv auf die Erfordernisse des Gefechtsfeldes abgestimmt sein. So werden beispielsweise angreifende Panzer, zu deren Abwehr die Kampffahrzeuge mit elevierbaren Kampfplattformen in erster Linie geeignet und bestimmt sind, stets von Hubschraubern unterstützt. Ein modernes Verteidigungssystem sollte also in der Lage sein, Erd- und Luftziele in gleicher Weise zu bekämpfen. Dieser taktischen Forderung werden die bisher bekannt gewordenen Kampffahrzeuge mit elevierbaren Kampfplattformen nur in sehr begrenztem Umfang gerecht.In addition to such mechanical-constructive conditions, a modern combat vehicle must be tactically and constructively matched to the requirements of the battlefield. For example, attacking tanks, for the defense of which combat vehicles with elevatable combat platforms are primarily suitable and designed, are always supported by helicopters. A modern defense system should therefore be able to fight earth and air targets in the same way. The combat vehicles known to date with elevatable combat platforms meet this tactical requirement only to a very limited extent.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, welches sowohl die mechanisch-konstruktiven als auch die taktisch-konstruktiven Bedingungen erfüllt.The present invention has for its object to provide an armored combat vehicle of the type mentioned, which meets both the mechanical-constructive and the tactical-constructive conditions.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein gattungsgemäßes Kampffahrzeug mit Merkmalen gemäß Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a generic combat vehicle with features according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Kampffahrzeug erfüllt die oben genannte taktische Forderung hervorragend. Die Bekämpfung von Erdzielen wird von der einen Kampfplattform, die Bekämpfung der Luftziele von der anderen Kampfplattform aus wahrgenommen, wozu die Kampfplattformen mit den entsprechenden Kampfmitteln ausgerüstet sind. Auch eine gemischte Bestückung der Kampfplattformen ist möglich, da beide Kampfplattformen praktisch gleichwertig sind. Wesentlich ist, daß für jede Kampfplattform ein eigener Schütze verantwortlich ist, der seinen Platz relativ geschützt unter der Panzerung des Kampffahrzeuges hat, das seinerseits in Deckung steht.Such a combat vehicle excellently fulfills the tactical requirement mentioned above. Combating earth targets is performed by one combat platform, combat aerial targets by the other combat platform, for which the combat platforms are equipped with the appropriate weapons. A mixed assembly of the combat platforms is also possible, since both combat platforms are practically equivalent. It is essential that a separate shooter is responsible for each combat platform, who has his place relatively protected under the armor of the combat vehicle, which in turn is under cover.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß die Kampfplattformen nicht nur bei teilweise oder ganz ausgefahrener Hubanlage, sondern auch in deren abgesenkter Transportstellung voll einsatzfähig sind. Dies ermöglicht eine bewegliche Kampfführung und die zeitlich lückenlose Verteidigung des Kampffahrzeuges selbst.Another advantage is that the combat platforms are fully operational not only when the lifting system is partially or fully extended, but also in its lowered transport position. This enables agile warfare and the seamless defense of the combat vehicle itself.

Unterstützt wird das ganze dadurch, daß beide Kampfplattformen in ihren drei Achsen verstellbar sind, da nur so schnelle Luftziele verfolgt werden können, während gleichzeitig die für ein sicheres Zielen erforderliche Nivellierung der Kampfplattformen gewährleistet werden kann.The whole thing is supported by the fact that both combat platforms can be adjusted in their three axes, since only in this way fast aerial targets can be pursued, while at the same time the leveling of the combat platforms required for safe aiming can be guaranteed.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind beide Kampfplattformen übereinander auf einer am oberen Ende des Teleskoparmes angebrachten, um Längs- und Querachse beweglichen Basisplattform angebracht, um ihre Hochachse voll beweglich und um ihre Querachse teilbeweglich. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung übernimmt vorzugsweise die obere Plattform die Bekämpfung von Luftzielen, die untere Plattform die Bekämpfung von Erdzielen. Hierzu sind die obere Kampfplattform vorzugsweise zwischen -10 Grad und +85 Grad, die untere Kampfplattform vorzugsweise zwischen -10 Grad und +10 Grad um ihre Querachsen verschwenkbar. Bei einer derartigen Abstimmung sind die denkbaren gegenseitigen Behinderungen der Kampfplattformen minimal.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two combat platforms are arranged one above the other on a base platform attached to the upper end of the telescopic arm and movable about the longitudinal and transverse axes, fully movable about its vertical axis and partially movable about its transverse axis. In this configuration, the upper platform preferably takes over the fight against air targets, the lower platform takes over the fight against earth targets. For this purpose, the upper combat platform is preferably pivotable between -10 degrees and +85 degrees, the lower combat platform preferably between -10 degrees and +10 degrees about its transverse axes. With such a coordination, the conceivable mutual disabilities of the combat platforms are minimal.

Statt übereinander können gemäß einer Variante die beiden Kampfplattformen nebeneinander auf einer am oberen Ende des Teleskoparmes um Längs- und Querachse beweglichen Basisplattform angebracht sein, wobei sie um ihre Hoch- und Querachsen wenigstens teilbeweglich sind. Bei dieser Variante sind beide Kampfplattformen in gleicher Weise für die Bekämpfung von Erd- und Luftzielen einsatzfähig.Instead of one above the other, according to one variant, the two combat platforms can be mounted next to one another on a base platform that can be moved about the longitudinal and transverse axes at the upper end of the telescopic arm, wherein they are at least partially movable about their vertical and transverse axes. With this variant, both combat platforms can be used in the same way for fighting earth and air targets.

Vorzugsweise ist auch die Basisplattform in diesem Fall um ihre Hochachse wenigstens teilbeweglich. Auf diese Weise gelingt es, auch Ziele in dem Raumsektor zu bekämpfen, der bei einer starren Anordnung der Basisplattform von der jeweils anderen Kampfplattform eingenommen wird.In this case, the base platform is preferably also at least partially movable about its vertical axis. In this way, it is also possible to combat targets in the space sector which is occupied by the other combat platform when the base platform is rigidly arranged.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Sicherheit empfiehlt es sich, in die Feuerleiteinrichtungen beider Kampfplattformen eine Schußsperre für den von der jeweils anderen Kampfplattform eingenommenen Raumsektor einzubauen.To further increase security, it is advisable to install a bullet barrier in the fire control devices of both combat platforms for the space sector occupied by the other combat platform.

Um der Forderung nach einer möglichst einfachen und störungsfreien Konstruktion zu entsprechen, umfaßt die Hubeinrichtung vorzugsweise nur den Teleskoparm, der am Fahrzeugdeck zwischen Waagerecht und Senkrecht verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Angesichts der Drehbarkeit der Kampfplattformen selbst und angesichts der Fähigkeit des Kampffahrzeuges, sich mittels seines Ketten- oder Radfahrwerkes auf der Stelle zu drehen, ist ein solcher Drehkranz für die Hubanlage nicht erforderlich. Wegen der relativ großen Masse der Hubanlage und der Kampfplattformen würde eine Drehung mit Hilfe des Drehkranzes auch relativ langsam erfolgen. Ohne Drehkranz kann auch der Schwenkantrieb für die Hubanlage einfacher konstruiert werden.To meet the requirement for a simple and trouble-free construction, the Lifting device preferably only the telescopic arm, which is pivotably mounted on the vehicle deck between horizontal and vertical. In view of the rotatability of the combat platforms themselves and in view of the ability of the combat vehicle to turn on the spot by means of its chain or wheel chassis, such a turntable is not necessary for the lifting system. Because of the relatively large mass of the lifting system and the combat platforms, rotation with the help of the slewing ring would also take place relatively slowly. The swivel drive for the lifting system can also be constructed more simply without a slewing ring.

Gegebenenfalls ist das Schwenklager auf einem Drehkranz am Fahrzeugdeck, insbesondere am Turm, befestigt.If necessary, the swivel bearing is attached to a turntable on the vehicle deck, in particular on the tower.

Eine gesteigerte Kampfkraft ergibt sich, wenn die Hubeinrichtung wie an sich bekannt einen Knickarm umfaßt, bei dem der Teleskoparm das obere Teilstück bildet. Ist der Knickarm am vorderen Ende des Kampffahrzeuges angelenkt, können die Kampfplattformen mit dem Teleskoparm vor die Vorderkante des Kampffahrzeuges gebracht werden, so daß Waffen und Visionik das Gefechtsfeld überblicken, das Fahrzeug selbst jedoch in sicherer Deckung hinter einer Hausecke verbleiben kann.An increased combat strength results if the lifting device comprises an articulated arm in which the telescopic arm forms the upper section, as is known per se. If the articulated arm is articulated at the front end of the combat vehicle, the combat platforms can be brought with the telescopic arm in front of the front edge of the combat vehicle, so that weapons and vision can survey the battlefield, but the vehicle itself can remain safely behind a corner of the house.

Bei der Ausgestaltung der Hubanlage als Knickarm empfiehlt es sich, das untere Teilstück als A-förmigen Doppelarm auszubilden, wodurch die Stabilität der Hubanlage ebenso gesteigert werden kann wie ihre Tragkraft, ohne das Gewicht in gleicher Weise steigern zu müssen.When designing the lifting system as an articulated arm, it is advisable to design the lower section as an A-shaped double arm, as a result of which the stability of the lifting system can be increased as well as its load capacity without having to increase the weight in the same way.

Vorzugsweise sind die Seitenarme des Doppelarms parallel gerichtet. Auf diese Weise können sie die zugehörige Schwenkeinrichtung, die beispielsweise entsprechend lange Hydraulikzylinder umfaßt, schützen. Freiliegende Hubelemente werden durch eine zusätzliche Abdeckung geschützt.The side arms of the double arm are preferably directed parallel. In this way, they can the associated swivel device, for example, correspondingly long Protect hydraulic cylinder. Exposed lifting elements are protected by an additional cover.

Weiter verbessert wird dieser Schutz dadurch, daß der Doppelarm als U-förmiger oder V-förmiger, nach unten offener Rahmen ausgebildet ist und in abgesenkter Position die zugehörigen Hubelemente, d. h. die Hydraulikzylinder, überdeckt. Dabei ist die V-Form der Doppelarme zu bevorzugen, weil sie einen verbesserten Splitterschutz bietet. Bei Verwendung geschlossener, zur Außenkante des Fahrzeugs abgeschrägter Rahmen werden die Hubelemente durch eine zusätzliche Abdeckung geschützt.This protection is further improved in that the double arm is designed as a U-shaped or V-shaped frame which is open at the bottom and, in the lowered position, the associated lifting elements, ie. H. the hydraulic cylinders, covered. The V-shape of the double arms is preferred because it offers improved splinter protection. When using closed frames that are bevelled to the outside edge of the vehicle, the lifting elements are protected by an additional cover.

Eine Verbesserung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Hubplattform ergibt sich, wenn das obere Ende des Doppelarms um einen kleinen Winkel nach oben gekröpft ist, so daß das Ende des Doppelarms, an dem der Teleskoparm angelenkt ist, höher liegt als sein unteres Ende. Auf diese Weise bleibt auch bei abgesenktem Teleskoparm und Doppelarm die Einsatzfähigkeit der an ihm befestigten Kampfplattformen, sei es daß diese übereinander, sei es daß diese nebeneinander angeordnet sind, voll erhalten.An improvement in the possible uses of the lifting platform results if the upper end of the double arm is cranked upwards by a small angle, so that the end of the double arm to which the telescopic arm is articulated is higher than its lower end. In this way, even when the telescopic arm and the double arm are lowered, the operational capability of the combat platforms attached to it remains intact, be it that they are one above the other or that they are arranged side by side.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist im Bereich des Knickgelenks wenigstens eine weitere Plattform angeordnet, die je nach Verwendungszweck starr, teilbeweglich oder vollbeweglich ist. Diese weitere Plattform kann je nach Verwendungszweck selbst wieder ein oder mehrere Kampfplattformen tragen. Die weitere Plattform kann aber auch Werfer ohne eigene Visionik tragen; die Kampfmittel werden im Bedarfsfall in die Ziel- und Lenkeinrichtung der Haupt-Kampfplattformen eingeschossen.According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one further platform is arranged in the area of the articulated joint, which is rigid, partially movable or fully movable, depending on the intended use. Depending on the intended use, this additional platform can itself carry one or more combat platforms. The additional platform can also be used by launchers without their own vision; if necessary, the weapons are shot into the aiming and guiding device of the main fighting platforms.

Statt mit Waffen kann die weitere Plattform jedoch auch mit Tarnstoffen und/oder Dekontaminationsmitteln ausgerüstet werden. Auch eine Verwendung als Montage- und Reparaturplattform ist denkbar.Instead of weapons, the other platform can also be equipped with camouflage materials and / or decontamination agents will. Use as an assembly and repair platform is also conceivable.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Kampfplattformen in Transportstellung des Teleskoparmes absenkbar, vorzugsweise abkippbar. Dadurch erhöht sich insbesondere die Beweglichkeit in bewaldetem Gelände.According to a development of the invention, the combat platforms can be lowered, preferably tilted, in the transport position of the telescopic arm. This increases mobility in wooded terrain in particular.

Anhand der Zeichnungen soll die Erfindung in Form von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht, Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf ein erstes gepanzertes Kampffahrzeug 10 mit von einer elevierbaren Hubanlage 20 getragenen Kampfplattformen 40, 50. Die Hubanlage 20 ist in abgesenkter Transportstellung und in angehobener Kampfstellung dargestellt. Das Kampffahrzeug 10 besitzt ein Kettenfahrwerk 11. Am Fahrzeugdeck 14 sind Luken 12, 13 für Besatzung und Fahrer vorgesehen. Ferner ist hier eine Hubanlage 20 angelenkt. Diese besteht aus einem in Draufsicht etwa A-förmigen Doppelarm 23 als unterem und einem Teleskoparm 22 als oberem Teilstück. Am freien Ende des Teleskoparms 22 sind zwei Kampfplattformen 42, 43 gelagert, und zwar mit Hilfe einer Basisplattform 41, 45. Die Basisplattform 41 wird mit Hilfe eines Hydraulikzylinders 32 bewegt und mittels einer Kantautomatik horizontiert.1 shows a side view, FIG. 2 shows a top view of a first armored combat vehicle 10 with combat platforms 40, 50 carried by an elevatable lifting system 20. The lifting system 20 is shown in the lowered transport position and in the raised combat position. The combat vehicle 10 has a chain undercarriage 11. On the vehicle deck 14, hatches 12, 13 are provided for the crew and the driver. Furthermore, a lifting system 20 is articulated here. This consists of an approximately A-shaped double arm 23 in plan view as the lower and a telescopic arm 22 as the upper section. At the free end of the telescopic arm 22, two combat platforms 42, 43 are mounted, with the aid of a base platform 41, 45. The base platform 41 is moved with the aid of a hydraulic cylinder 32 and leveled by means of an automatic edge system.

Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, sind die beiden Kampfplattformen 42, 43 nebeneinander angeordnet und sowohl um ihre Hochachse als auch ihre Querachse beweglich. Darüber hinaus ist auch die Basisplattform 41, 45 um ihre Hochachse drehbar. Die Bewegungsmöglichkeit der Kampfplattformen 42, 43 um ihre Querachse kann entsprechend den taktischen Anforderungen vorzugsweise auf den Winkelbereich zwischen -10 Grad und +85 Grad begrenzt werden. Auf diese Weise können sowohl Erdziele als auch Luftziele bekämpft werden.As shown in FIG. 3, the two combat platforms 42, 43 are arranged next to one another and are movable both about their vertical axis and their transverse axis. In addition, the base platform 41, 45 can also be rotated about its vertical axis. The possibility of movement of the combat platforms 42, 43 about their transverse axis can preferably be limited to the angular range between -10 degrees and +85 degrees in accordance with the tactical requirements. In this way, both earth targets and air targets can be combated.

Der Knickarm 22, 23 wird vorzugsweise mit Hilfe von Hydraulikzylindern 31, 33 gehoben und gesenkt.The articulated arm 22, 23 is preferably raised and lowered with the aid of hydraulic cylinders 31, 33.

Die Hubanlage 20 kann entweder direkt auf dem Deck 14 des Fahrzeugs oder auf einem dort vorgesehenen, vorzugsweise zentralen Drehkranz befestigt sein. Die Befestigung auf einem Drehkranz hat den Vorteil, daß die Hubanlage 20 unabhängig vom Fahrzeug 10 um die Hochachse gedreht werden kann. Im Grunde ist dies jedoch nicht erforderlich, da das Fahrzeug 10 mit Hilfe seines Kettenfahrwerks 11 sich selbst auf der Stelle drehen kann, insbesondere aber weil die Kampfplattformen 42, 43 und ihre Basisplattform 41, 45 jeweils um die Hochachse drehbar sind. Aufgrund des geringeren Gewichts lassen sich die Kampfplattformen 42, 43 bzw. die Basisplattform 41, 45 erheblich schneller und mit geringerem Energieaufwand drehen als die erheblich schwerere Hubanlage 20 über den Drehkranz.The lifting system 20 can either be fixed directly on the deck 14 of the vehicle or on a preferably central swivel head provided there. The attachment to a turntable has the advantage that the lifting system 20 can be rotated about the vertical axis independently of the vehicle 10. Basically, however, this is not necessary since the vehicle 10 can turn itself on the spot with the aid of its tracked chassis 11, but in particular because the combat platforms 42, 43 and their base platform 41, 45 can each be rotated about the vertical axis. Because of the lower weight, the combat platforms 42, 43 or the base platform 41, 45 can be rotated considerably faster and with less energy expenditure than the considerably heavier lifting system 20 via the turntable.

Wie Fig. 1 gut erkennen läßt, ist der untere Doppelarm 23 nach oben gekröpft. Dadurch liegen die Kampfplattformen 42, 43 auch bei abgesenktem Teleskoparm 22 so hoch, daß sie voll einsatzbereit sind, ohne die Sicht der Besatzung aus dem gepanzerten Turm zu behindern. Auf diese Weise kann sich das Fahrzeug 10 während des Transports verteidigen. Gleichzeitig ist seine Gesamthöhe niedrig und die Baulänge kurz genug, so daß optimale Deckung und optimale Beweglichkeit im Gelände gegeben sind.As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1, the lower double arm 23 is cranked upwards. As a result, the combat platforms 42, 43 are so high, even when the telescopic arm 22 is lowered, that they are fully operational without obstructing the crew's view from the armored turret. In this way, the vehicle 10 can defend itself during transportation. At the same time, its overall height is low and the overall length short enough to ensure optimal coverage and mobility in the field.

Der Querschnitt des Doppelarms 23 ist U- bzw. V-förmig. Dadurch überdeckt er in abgesenkter Transportstellung die Hydraulikzylinder 31 und schützt diese gegen Beschuß. Gleichzeitig werden Splitter besser abgelenkt.The cross section of the double arm 23 is U-shaped or V-shaped. As a result, it covers the hydraulic cylinders 31 in the lowered transport position and protects them against fire. At the same time, fragments are better distracted.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Kampfkraft können auch im Bereich des Gelenks 24 Zusatzkampfplattformen 50 vorgesehen werden, bestehend in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel wiederum aus zwei Kampfplattformen 52, 53 an einer gemeinsamen Basisplattform 51, 55, deren Kantautomatik wiederum einen Hydraulikzylinder 34 aktiviert. Um die Kosten des Gesamtsystems niedrig zu halten, kann die Waffenanlage der Zusatzplattformen 52, 53 ohne eigene Visionik ausgeführt werden. Die Kampfmittel werden in diesem Fall in die Visionik der Kampfplattformen 42, 43 eingeschossen und von diesen ins Ziel gelenkt. Die Anordnung einer Kampfplattform im Bereich des Knickgelenks ist im übrigen prinzipiell bekannt aus der DE-A-34 37 625.To further increase the combat strength, additional combat platforms 50 can also be provided in the area of the joint 24, consisting in this embodiment again of two combat platforms 52, 53 on a common base platform 51, 55, the automatic edge activation of which in turn activates a hydraulic cylinder 34. In order to keep the costs of the overall system low, the weapon system of the additional platforms 52, 53 can be implemented without own vision. In this case, the weapons are shot into the vision of the combat platforms 42, 43 and directed by them to the target. The arrangement of a combat platform in the area of the articulated joint is known in principle from DE-A-34 37 625.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal zur Ausnutzung der hohen Kampfkraft ist es, daß jede der beiden Kampfplattformen 42, 43 und gegebenenfalls Zusatzplattformen 52, 53 von einem eigenen Besatzungsmitglied, z. B. Kommandant und Schütze, gesteuert wird. Nur so ist es möglich, Erdziele und Luftziele gleichzeitig zu bekämpfen. Um zu verhindern, daß die Kampfmittel der einen Kampfplattform versehentlich die andere Kampfplattform beschädigen, empfiehlt es sich, in die Waffenanlage eine geeignete Schußsperre einzubauen. Die Auswirkungen einer solchen Schußsperre sind in der Praxis zu vernachlässigen, da es mit Hilfe der um ihre Hochachse drehbaren Basisplattformen 41, 45 möglich ist, jede der Kampfplattformen 42, 43 so zu positionieren, daß ihr Gefechtsfeld einen Vollkreis um das Kampffahrzeug 10 herum beschreibt.An essential feature for exploiting the high combat strength is that each of the two combat platforms 42, 43 and possibly additional platforms 52, 53 by its own crew member, eg. B. Commander and gunner is controlled. This is the only way to combat earth targets and aerial targets at the same time. To prevent the Weapons from one combat platform accidentally damage the other combat platform, it is advisable to install a suitable shotgun in the weapon system. The effects of such a shot block are negligible in practice, since with the aid of the base platforms 41, 45 which can be rotated about its vertical axis, it is possible to position each of the combat platforms 42, 43 in such a way that their battlefield describes a full circle around the combat vehicle 10.

In besonderen Fällen können die Zusatzplattformen 50 nicht mit Waffen, sondern mit anderen militärischen Einsatzmitteln ausgerüstet werden. Zu erwähnen wären Behälter mit Wasser oder Sand, beispielsweise um einen für Infrarotstrahlen undurchlässigen Wassernebel um das Kampffahrzeug 10 herum zu erzeugen oder um ABC-Kontaminationen zu beseitigen.In special cases, the additional platforms 50 cannot be equipped with weapons, but with other military resources. Mention should be made of containers with water or sand, for example in order to produce a water mist that is impermeable to infrared rays around the combat vehicle 10 or to eliminate ABC contaminations.

Die Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen ein weiteres Kampffahrzeug 10′, dessen Hubanlage 20′ nur den Teleskoparm 22 umfaßt, an dessen oberem Ende die Waffenanlage 40′ mit ihren beiden Kampfplattformen 46, 47 gelagert ist. Das untere Ende des Teleskoparmes 22 ist an einem Schwenklager 21 gelagert, entweder starr oder über einen Drehkranz mit dem Fahrzeugdeck 14 verbunden. Dank der exzentrischen Anordnung der Hubanlage 20′ auf dem Fahrzeugdeck 14 sind Turm und Luke 12 für die Besatzung problemlos zugänglich.4 and 5 show another combat vehicle 10 ', the lifting system 20' includes only the telescopic arm 22, at the upper end of the weapon system 40 'with its two combat platforms 46, 47 is mounted. The lower end of the telescopic arm 22 is mounted on a pivot bearing 21, either rigidly or connected to the vehicle deck 14 via a turntable. Thanks to the eccentric arrangement of the lifting system 20 'on the vehicle deck 14 tower and hatch 12 are easily accessible for the crew.

Bei dieser Variante sind die beiden Kampfplattformen 46, 47 übereinander angeordnet, wobei die Basisplattform 41 mit ihrer Kantautomatik die Kampfplattformen 46, 47 horizontiert. Der Schwenkwinkel der unteren Kampfplattform 46 ist vorzugsweise auf einen Wert zwischen -10 und +10 Grad beschränkt, während der Schwenkbereich der oberen Kampfplattform 47 vorzugsweise den vollen Winkelbereich zwischen -10 Grad und +85 Grad überstreicht. Die untere Kampfplattform 46 ist deshalb vorzugsweise für die Bekämpfung von Erdzielen, die obere Kampfplattform 47 für die Bekämpfung von Flugzielen und Erdzielen vorgesehen. Schußsperren müssen nicht mehr vorgesehen werden.In this variant, the two combat platforms 46, 47 are arranged one above the other, the base platform 41 with its automatic edge leveling the combat platforms 46, 47. The pivot angle of the lower combat platform 46 is preferably limited to a value between -10 and +10 degrees, while the pivot range of the upper combat platform 47 preferably covers the full angular range between -10 degrees and +85 degrees. The lower one Combat platform 46 is therefore preferably provided for the fight against earth targets, the upper combat platform 47 for the fight against flight targets and earth targets. Gun barriers no longer have to be provided.

Als Teil der Feindverfolgungs- und Waffenlenkanlage ist eine Radaranlage 44 hinter der oberen Kampfplattform 47 vorgesehen.As part of the enemy tracking and weapons guidance system, a radar system 44 is provided behind the upper combat platform 47.
