Eine andere Form des Schutzes zeigt die FR 1,189.351 ,The GB 543,742 A indicates a possibility to provide a simple tractor with a protection, the front wheels of which are excluded. This protection is designed as an armored steel cover, which is placed on the axles of the wheels. Another form of protection shows the FR 1,189,351 .

Die US 6,382,069 B1 offenbart ein Minenräumfahrzeug mit einer Fahrerkabine, die weit entfernt von den die Minen ausiösenden Mittel auf dem Fahrzeugchassis angebracht ist und die als gepanzerte, federmontierte Kabine ausgeführt ist.The US 6,382,069 B1 discloses a mine clearance vehicle with a cab mounted far from the mine triggering means on the vehicle chassis and embodied as an armored, spring-mounted cab.

Der Artikel "Kampfpanzer Leopard 2" - Online - offenbart, dass das Fahrgestell das Kampfpanzers Leopard für Aufbauten eines Bergepanzers (Büffel), eines Brückenlegers (Leguan), eines Pionierpanzers (Kodiak) oder eines Minenräumfahrzeuges (Keiler) verwendet wird. Mittelschwere militärische Unterstützungsfahrzeuge sind für die Unterstützung von derartigen militärischen Rad- und Kettenfahrzeugen In den Gewichtsklassen 25t bis 45t konzipiert sowie als Arbeitsgerät der Pioniertruppen vorgesehen. Diese Unterstützungsfahrzeuge werden in mindestens vier Kategorien eingeteilt, den Berge-, Brücken-, Pionier- und Minenräumvarianten.The article "Battle Tank Leopard 2" - Online - reveals that the chassis of the Leopard Battle Tank is used for the construction of an armored recovery vehicle (buffalo), a bridge iguana, a pioneer tank (Kodiak) or a mine clearance vehicle (Keiler). Medium duty military support vehicles are designed to support such military wheeled and tracked vehicles in weight classes 25t to 45t as well as being intended as work equipment of the Pioneer Groups. These support vehicles are divided into at least four categories, the mountain, bridge, pioneer and demining variants.

Die DE 1 907 050 A1 , welche einen Ausgangspunkt für den Anspruch 1 bildet, beschreibt ein Raupenfahrzeug für militärische Zwecke. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Raupenfahrzeug zu schaffen, mit dem der technische Gesamtaufwand für eine Vielzahl benötigter verschiedener Fahrzeuge wesentlich verringert werden kann. Dazu weist das Fahrzeug ein Grundfahrzeugteil zur Aufnahme für eine Vielzahl verschiedener Aufbauten auf. In einer Ausführung ist dem Grundfahrzeugteil ein gepanzertes Fahrerhaus aufgesetzt.The DE 1 907 050 A1 , which forms a starting point for claim 1, describes a tracked vehicle for military purposes. It is the object of the invention to provide a tracked vehicle with which the total technical effort for a variety of required different vehicles can be substantially reduced. For this purpose, the vehicle has a base vehicle part for receiving a plurality of different structures. In one embodiment, the basic vehicle part an armored cab is attached.

Die mittelschweren Unterstützungsfahrzeuge werden gemäß den bekannten Einsatzdoktrinen neben den klassischen Einsatzszenarien, wie Angriffs- und Stellungesituationen, verstärkt unter anderem In friedenserhaltenden Maßnahmen eingesetzt, wobei diese Fahrzeuge auch einer ballistischen Bedrohung 360° ausgesetzt sind und auch durch Panzerabwehr - und Personenminen sowie durch Sprengstofffallen bedroht werden. Diese Tatsache würde einen Rundumschutz des Fahrzeuges notwendig machen. Jedoch unterliegen diese Fahrzeuge auch der Anforderung, luftverladbar zu sein.The medium-duty assistance vehicles are according to the well-known doctrines in addition to the classic use scenarios, such as attack and position situations, used inter alia in peacekeeping measures, these vehicles are also exposed to a ballistic threat 360 ° and are threatened by anti-tank and personnel mines and by explosive devices , This fact would require a complete protection of the vehicle. However, these vehicles are also subject to the requirement to be air-transportable.

Hier greift die Erfindung die Aufgabe auf, ein Schutzkonzept aufzuzeigen, mit Hilfe dessen die Anforderung an den Schutz der Besatzung als auch der Lufiverladbarkelt des Fahrzeuges zu erfüllen.Here, the invention takes on the task of demonstrating a protection concept, with the help of which to meet the requirement for the protection of the crew and the Lufiverladbarkelt of the vehicle.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind In den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are listed in the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, zumindest den Bereich am Fahrzeug mit angepasstem Rundumschutz zu versehen, der für die Aufnahme einer Besatzung dient. Die anderen Bereiche erhalten einen minimalen Schutz, der für die Grundbedrohung ausgelegt ist.The invention is based on the idea to provide at least the area on the vehicle with adapted all-round protection, which serves to accommodate a crew. The other areas receive minimal protection designed for the basic threat.

Die DE 202 21 019 U1 offenbart ein Minenräumfahrzeug mit einer Kamerakabine und einer Schutzzelle für einen Bediener. Diese ist anstelle der Kamerakabine oder zusätzlich neben dieser im vorderen Bereich des Räumfahrzeuges Integrierbar. Die Schutzzelle ist aus einem splittersicheren Panzerstahl oder Verbundmaterial hergestellt. Damit wird eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass das Räumfahrzeug entweder direkt oder ferngelenkt betrieben werden kann.The DE 202 21 019 U1 discloses a mine clearance vehicle having a camera cab and a guard cell for an operator. This can be integrated in place of the camera cabin or in addition to this in the front area of the clearing vehicle. The protective cell is made of a shatterproof armor steel or composite material. This creates a possibility that the clearing vehicle can be operated either directly or remotely controlled.

Wesentliches Merkmal des vorliegenden Schutzkonzeptes ist eine separate, abgekoppelte und in sich geschlossene Besatzungszelle. Unter dem Wannenboden des Chassis wird im Bereich der Besatzungszelle eine Minenschutzplatte adaptiert. Des Weiteren wird die Zelle von dem Hydraulik- bzw. Fahrgestellbereich strikt getrennt. Durch diese Maßnahme wird die Gefährdung der Besatzung durch mögliche Verpuffungen von brennbaren Flüssigkeiten minimiert. Im Außenbereich wird die Besatzungszelle durch Zusatzpanzerungen (Add-on-Armour) ausgestattet. Vorgesehen sind auch reaktive und / oder aktive Schutzmodule gegen Panzerabwehrhandwaffen bzw. Richtminen mit horizontaler Wirkung. Die Besatzungszelle ist innen mit einem Liner ausgestattet, der einerseits die Splitterkegel einer ballistischen Durchdringung reduziert und andererseits körperschall- und wärmeisolierend wirkt. Des Weiteren können die Besatzungszelle und / oder das Chassis mit reaktiven und aktivern Schutzmodulen gegen Panzerabwehrhandwaffen und Richtminen mit horizontaler Wirkung ausgestattet sein.An essential feature of the present protection concept is a separate, decoupled and self-contained crew cell. Under the tank bottom of the chassis a mine protection plate is adapted in the area of the crew cell. Furthermore, the cell is strictly separated from the hydraulic or chassis area. By this measure, the danger to the crew is minimized by possible deflagrations of combustible liquids. In the outdoor area, the crew cell is equipped with additional armor (add-on armor). Also provided are reactive and / or active protection modules against antitank guns and / or directional mines with horizontal action. The crew cell is equipped with a liner on the inside, which on the one hand reduces the splinter cones of a ballistic penetration and on the other hand has a structure-borne and heat-insulating effect. Furthermore, the crew cell and / or the chassis may be equipped with reactive and active protection modules against antitank guns and horizontal directional mines.

Die Besatzungszelle wird über geeignete Lagerungen in das Fahrgestell eingehängt. Ähnliches ist bereits aus der DE 196 53 283 C1 sowie der DE 10 2004 026 237 A1 und DE 10 2004 006 819 A1 bekannt. Über diese Lagerungen werden einerseits Schockbelastungen aus Minen- bzw. Sprengstoffdetonationen ausgekoppelt sowie Schwingungs- und Körperschallbelastungen minimiert.The crew cell is hung on suitable bearings in the chassis. Similar is already from the DE 196 53 283 C1 as well as the DE 10 2004 026 237 A1 and DE 10 2004 006 819 A1 known. On the one hand, shock loads from mine or explosive detonations are decoupled via these bearings and vibration and structure-borne noise are minimized.

Die Besatzungszelle verfügt des Weiteren über ausreichend große Sichtscheiben und Winkelspiegel für eine direkte Sicht nach außen und zudem über elektronische Sichtmittel, wie Tag- und Nachtsichtkameras bzw. -sensoren. Weitere Kameras und Sensoren am Fahrzeug dienen dazu, der Besatzung hinreichende Informationen des nahen Umfeldes zu übermitteln (ähnlich wie im zivilen Fahrzeugbau).The crew cell also has sufficiently large viewing windows and angle mirrors for a direct view to the outside and also electronic visual aids, such as day and night vision cameras and sensors. Other cameras and sensors on the vehicle serve to provide the crew with sufficient information about the surrounding environment (similar to civilian vehicle construction).

Die Sichtscheiben sind als Pz-Verbundglas gegen die entsprechende Bedrohung ausgelegt und verfügen über einen Laserschutzfilter, um die Augen der Besatzung vor ungewolltem Laserlicht zu schützen. Auch absenkbare bzw. klappbare Blenden sind vorgesehen, die einerseits einen zusätzlichen ballistischen Schutz bilden und gegen Splitter verwendet werden können, aber andererseits als passiver Schutz verwendet werden können, wenn der Mannschaftraum abgedunkelt werden soll. Selbstverständlich dienen die Blenden darüber hinaus der Verhinderung von reflektierenden Lichtspiegelungen auf der Scheibenoberfläche.The lenses are designed as Pz laminated glass against the corresponding threat and have a laser protection filter to protect the eyes of the crew from unwanted laser light. Lowerable or hinged panels are also provided, which on the one hand form an additional ballistic protection and can be used against splinters, but on the other hand can be used as passive protection if the crew room is to be darkened. Of course, the screens also serve to prevent reflective reflections of light on the surface of the pane.

Weiterhin ist eine Art Gegensprechanlage ins Fahrzeug einzubinden, um zu verhindern, dass die Besatzung bei Kontaktaufnahme mit fremden Personen eine Tür oder Luke öffnen zu müssen.Furthermore, a kind of intercom is to be integrated into the vehicle in order to prevent the crew having to open a door or hatch when making contact with strangers.

Die Sitze der Mannschaft sind in der Besatzungszelle derart eingebunden, dass diese den Forderungen der Belastungsreduzierung bei Minenansprengung und den Schwingungsentkopplungen genügen. Die Sitze sind mit Rückhaltesystemen und entsprechenden Kopfstützen versehen. Die Besatzung verfügt zudem vorzugsweise über wenigstens eine Luke im Dachbereich und eine Tür bevorzugt an der Rückseite der Besatzungszelle.The seats of the crew are integrated in the crew cell in such a way that they meet the requirements of load reduction in mine clearance and vibration decoupling. The seats are equipped with restraint systems and corresponding headrests. The crew also preferably has at least one hatch in the roof area and a door preferably at the rear of the crew cell.

Die Besatzungszelle beinhaltet des Weiteren Schutzwirkungen und Luftaufbereitungsanlagen gegen ABC-Bedrohung sowie eine Mannschaftsraumklimatisierung. Das ermöglicht, die physiologischen Belastungen der Besatzung gering zu halten.The crew cell also includes protective effects and anti-ABC air conditioning systems as well as crew room air conditioning. This makes it possible to keep the physiological burdens of the crew low.

Das Chassis verfügt neben dem Grundschutz zur Überlebensfähigkeit des Systems über einen geschlossenen Hydraulikbereich, in dem Teile der Kraftstoffanlage untergebracht sein können. Hydraulikraum als auch Triebwerksraum verfügen ihrerseits jeweils über eine Feuerlöschanlage. Im Ansaugbereich der Triebwerkskühlanlage sind Fire-Wire Sensoren eingebunden, die bei einem externen Brand ein Abschalten der Kühlerlüfter vornehmen.In addition to the basic protection for survivability of the system, the chassis has a closed hydraulic area in which parts of the fuel system can be accommodated. Hydraulic room and engine room each have a fire extinguishing system. In the intake area of the engine cooling system, Fire-Wire sensors are integrated, which shut off the radiator fans in case of an external fire.

Aktive Schutzmaßnahmen sind eine weitere Ausgestaltung am Fahrzeug. Diese umfassen beispielsweise eine Nebelwurfanlage sowie eine manuelle oder fernsteuerbare Waffenanlage. Störsender haben die Aufgabe, Sprengfallen weit vor dem Fahrzeug auszulösen.Active protective measures are another embodiment of the vehicle. These include, for example, a Nebelwurfanlage and a manual or remote-controlled weapons system. Jammers have the task of triggering booby traps far in front of the vehicle.

Als passiver Schutzmaßnahme sind neben geeigneten Tarnnetzen auch Tarnkits vorgesehen, die die optischen, IR- und Radarsignaturen mindern oder stark abändern. Zusätzlich werden die Triebwerksabgase und die Kühlluft geschirmt hinten am Fahrzeugheck ausgebracht. Zusätzliche Luftverblechungen, Hinterlüftungen und Isolierungen sorgen für eine Abschirmung der heißen Gase zur Fahrzeugstruktur. Die Partikel in den Abgasen des Triebwerkes sind durch geeignete innenmotorische Maßnahmen und / oder Filter minimierbar.As a passive protective measure camouflage kits are provided in addition to suitable camouflage nets, which reduce the optical, IR and radar signatures or greatly modify. In addition, the engine exhaust gases and the cooling air are deployed shielded at the rear of the vehicle rear. Additional air brakes, rear vents and insulations shield the hot gases from the vehicle structure. The particles in the exhaust gases of the engine can be minimized by suitable internal engine measures and / or filters.

Der Pionierpanzer ist mit einer Baggeranlage mit Schnellwechselsystem ausgestattet und erlaubt, wie bei allen Tätigkeiten einen Wechsel der Werkzeuge unter Panzerschutz. Dozer- und Minenräumarbeiten werden ebenfalls ausschließlich unter Panzerschutz ausgeführt. Das Bergefahrzeug ist mit einer Gefechtsfeldbergeeinrichtung versehen, die ein Bergen von Schadfahrzeugen unter Panzerschutz ermöglicht. Der Brückenlegepanzer ist ebenfalls für das Auslegen und Aufnehmen modularer Brückenteile konzipiert. Diese Fahrzeugkonzepte sind vielmals auch miteinander kombinierbar. Das so genannte Universal-Unterstützungsfahrzeug vereinigt somit die wesentlichen Merkmale der Berge-, Pionier- und Minenräumvariante. Die Brückenlegervariante wird durch eine Modifikation der Basisstruktur im Dachbau und Anordnung des Mannschaftsraumes gebildet. Ein identisches Chassis dient als Basis unterschiedlicher Fahrzeugvarianten. Ein solches Konzept ist auch aus der EP 0 974 510 A1 bekannt.The Pioneer tank is equipped with an excavator system with quick-change system and allows, as in all activities, a change of tools under armored protection. Dozer and mine clearing work is also carried out exclusively under armored protection. The recovery vehicle is equipped with a battlefield device that allows the recovery of damaged vehicles under armored protection. The bridge armor is also designed for laying out and receiving modular bridge parts. These vehicle concepts can often be combined with each other. The so-called universal support vehicle thus combines the essential features of the recovery, pioneer and mine clearance variant. The bridge laying variant is formed by a modification of the basic structure in the roof construction and arrangement of the crew compartment. An identical chassis serves as the basis for different vehicle variants. Such a concept is also from the EP 0 974 510 A1 known.
