Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shooting module with a housing which can be rotated in azimuth on a support structure and in which a heavy weapon is pivotally mounted in elevation about a shield pin, projectiles being fed to the weapon by means of a fully automatic projectile feeding device which can be pivoted on the shield pin has a mounted bullet transfer arm, at the free end of which there is a bullet adapter provided with a charging cradle and which, from a raised position in which the charging cradle is aligned with the barrel core axis of the weapon, can be pivoted parallel to the elevation plane into a lowered position in which the Charging cradle is aligned substantially vertically, and a projectile transporter with a transport arm, which has a gripping device at its free end, by means of the respective one
- the bullet is gripped vertically in a bullet magazine with the tip pointing upwards and is fed to the charging cradle by the bullet transporter in the lowered position of the bullet transfer arm.
- the housing is designed as a rotatable turret on which the heavy weapon is arranged.
- the tower rotates in azimuth on a support structure that is designed as a tracked vehicle.
- the storey magazines are located below the pivot bearing in the vehicle trough of the carrier vehicle, and the storeys are gripped by the storey transporter and initially placed in a transport rail, which is also arranged in the vehicle trough and is initially oriented horizontally.
- the transport rail moves the respective storey linearly and rotates around the vertical axis to compensate for the different possible tower lengths relative to the chassis. After reaching the tower position, the transport rail opens the floor in a vertical position and transfers it to the charger's cradle.
- the projectile transfer arm is then swiveled up about the shield pin axis until the charging cradle of the projectile aligner is aligned with the barrel core axis of the weapon.
- the propellant charges are supplied by hand to the weapon in the known device.
- the invention has for its object to design a shooting module of the type mentioned above so that a considerable saving. Installation space, in particular installation height, and weight is achieved and the construction of the projectile feeding device is further simplified. Shooting should be fully automatic, for example from a command post outside of the shooting module itself can be carried out, and the shooting module should be versatile, ie a track vehicle as well as a wheeled vehicle for road or rail as well as a solid structure or a ship should serve as a support structure.
- the shooting module has the following features:
- At least one projectile magazine and the projectile transporter are arranged in the housing in the area in front of the shield pin;
- the charging cradle on the projectile transfer arm can be pivoted about a pivot axis oriented substantially vertically in the lowered position of the projectile transfer arm by at least 180 ° between a receiving position opening towards the area in front of the shield pin and a delivery position opening towards the area behind the shield pin;
- At least one propellant charge magazine is arranged in the housing in the region next to or behind the shield pin;
- the weapon is supplied with propellant charges by means of a fully automatic propellant charge device arranged in the housing, which has a propellant charge shell with a propellant charge pusher that can be pivoted into the area behind the weapon and aligned with the barrel axis of the weapon.
- the basic idea of the invention is to arrange both the projectile magazines and the fully automatic projectile supply device in the same housing above a rotary bearing, in which all propellant charge magazines as well as a fully automatic propellant charge supply device are accommodated.
- the bullet magazines are clearly separated from the propellant charge magazines and the bullet supply device from the propellant charge supply device. This results in very short ways of transferring both the projectiles and the propellant charges to the weapon, which enables a high firing rate.
- the weapon, the projectile transfer arm and the projectile magazine with the projectile transporter thus form a unit, the shooting module, which is arranged above the pivot bearing.
- the transport rail necessary in the known device is dispensed with, which simplifies the projectile feed device and reduces its weight. By eliminating the transport rail, the overall height of the shooting module is also reduced.
- the projectile supply device was supplemented by a fully automatic propellant charge supply device.
- the shooting module according to the invention allows the gun operating personnel to be separated from the weapon, the aiming system, the projectile supply device, the gsvomchhing propellant supply and the ammunition.
- the ballistic protective structure present in the known device can thus be limited to the protective volume of the personnel and thus of the command post. With this measure, the total weight of a gun consisting of a low-protection shooting module and an optimally protected command station can be reduced to a weight, while largely maintaining the other gun characteristics (firepower, range, cadence, automatic), which enables air transport with small and medium-sized transport aircraft ,
- the full automation also allows the reduction of operating personnel, which in turn leads to a lower risk to personnel in the event of an emergency and in peace operations.
- the number of personnel can be reduced to a minimum and the personnel can be protected with an optimal ballistic protective structure.
- the overall weight of the gun can also be minimized.
- the separation of the personnel and the shooting module in the form described allows new loading concepts, since previously reserved spaces could be used for the gun operating personnel. Higher voltages can be used for the electric drives and thus weight and cost reductions and / or performance increases can be achieved. Furthermore, the effort for air conditioning and ABC protective ventilation is reduced, since only a comparatively small command station volume has to be estimated. An improvement in the protection of personnel is achieved by the spatial separation and isolation from the ammunition carried and from the weapon aiming and loading movements.
- the shooting operation can be carried out fully automatically, and it can be operated from a point outside the housing, that is to say, for example, from a command post placed in the field or from the driver's cab of a carrier vehicle.
- the propellant charge magazines and the propellant charge supply device can be designed such that propellant charges of different sizes can be freely selected and supplied.
- the propellant charges are particularly quickly ready if, as described below, two mutually independent propellant charge magazines and two propellant charge supply devices are arranged in the housing.
