Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of military vehicles and in particular that of light vehicles such as off-road vehicles with a mass of less than 25 tons.
- the main problem encountered in the design of such vehicles is related to the difficult compromise between the overall weight of the vehicle (which must be reduced) and the protection to be provided against gunfire and mines and which leads to increase in mass.
- the invention aims to propose a new lightweight military vehicle architecture to facilitate the definition of new vehicles or new models of a given vehicle while ensuring each time the best compromise mass / protection possible.
- the subject of the invention is a light military vehicle characterized in that it combines, on the one hand, a chassis equipped with mobility means and, on the other hand, at least one armored habitable cabin, which cabin is fixed to the chassis of a vehicle. dismountable manner by securing means, cabin which is equipped with means for controlling the vehicle from inside the cabin, control means being interposed for this purpose between the cabin and the mobility means.
- the control interface means may thus allow to control at least one motor external to the cabin.
- the vehicle may include a first module which will be fixed to the chassis in a manner independent of the cabin and which will cover or carry the engine or engines.
- the vehicle may include at least one second module which will be fixed to the chassis in a manner independent of the cabin.
- This second module may for example be a transport compartment.
- the second module can be fixed behind the cab.
- the vehicle may comprise at least one floor shielding means which will be fixed to the frame below the cabin.
- the invention also relates to a cabin which is intended to equip a light military vehicle.
- This cabin is characterized in that it comprises on the one hand mechanical securing means for attaching a removable manner on a chassis equipped with mobility means and secondly control interface means for controlling the mobility means of the vehicle from inside the cabin.
- the cabin may advantageously comprise at least one floor shielding means.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a vehicle according to the invention
- FIG. 1 thus shows a vehicle 1 which comprises a chassis 2 equipped with mobility means which are here constituted by two axles carrying wheels 3 driven by a motorization 7.
- the representation is very schematic and it has not shown in the figure the means ensuring the suspension of the wheels nor the detailed structure of the frame itself which comprises conventionally welded or bolted spars.
- the geometric shape of the frame 2 has also been simplified here to the extreme and represented by a simple rectangle.
- the chassis can of course have more or less complex shapes including curved or inclined spars.
- the vehicle 1 comprises at least one shielded habitable cabin 4 which is fixed to the frame 2 in a demountable manner by securing means 5.
- the securing means comprise pads 5a fixed on the bottom of the cabin 4 and cooperating with complementary pads 5b integral with the frame 2 (see Figure 2).
- the pads 5a, 5b may include means for damping shocks and vibrations, for example elastomeric elements.
- At least three securing means 5 will be provided between the cabin 4 and the chassis 2.
- the vehicle 1 also comprises a first module 6 which is fixed to the chassis 2 in a demountable manner and independent of the cabin 4.
- This module is disposed here in front of the cabin 4 and it carries the engine 7.
- the latter is connected to the front axle of the chassis 2 by a mechanical interface 8, for example a drive shaft connected to a differential carried by the chassis 2.
- the motor 7 could be secured to the frame 2 and simply covered and protected by the first module 6.
- the first module 6 is fixed to the frame 2 by securing means 9 which comprise pads 9a fixed to the first module 6 and cooperating with complementary pads 9b integral with the frame 2.
- the first module 6 also contains the equipment associated with the motorization (batteries, refrigeration means, control and regulation means, gearbox ).
- the vehicle 1 finally comprises at least a second module 10 which is also fixed to the frame 2 in a demountable manner and independent of the cabin 4.
- This module 10 is fixed behind the cab. It may be constituted by a transport compartment, for example for equipment or be constituted by a habitable module. In the latter case it will be provided with appropriate shielding.
- the second module 10 is fixed to the frame 2 by securing means 11 which comprise pads 11a fixed on the second module 10 and cooperating with complementary pads 11b integral with the frame 2.
- the cabin 4 is equipped with means for controlling the vehicle 1 from inside the cabin 4.
- control means means 12a, 12b are interposed between the cabin 4 and the means providing mobility (engine 7 and 3 wheels).
- the cabin 4 contains a control module 13 which allows the driver present in the cabin 4 to act on the engine 7 through an interface 12a.
- a control module 13 which allows the driver present in the cabin 4 to act on the engine 7 through an interface 12a.
- the motorization may be electrical conductors, cables or mechanical control rods or hydraulic pipes.
- an interface 12b allows the driver present in the cabin 4 to act on the means controlling the direction of the vehicle 1.
- the interface 12b is here represented as a steering rod connecting a steering wheel (not shown) disposed in the cabin 4 to a box 14 of the steering control carried by the frame 2.
- the housing 14 may control the pivoting of the wheels 3 (for example by a rack) or control (steering by shifting) a differential braking of the wheels on the right side relative to the wheels of the vehicle. left side (or a crawler train on the right side compared to a crawler train on the left).
- the housing 14 may finally be an electronic control unit for individual control of each wheel in the case where the motorization would be provided by motors incorporated in each of the wheels.
- the cabin 4 is intended to ensure the survival of the crew. It therefore has a particularly protected structure against the firing of weapons and splinters (shielding of the side walls and the roof).
- the cabin 4 also includes a protection against mines, for example at least one shielding plate or box 15 disposed for example below the floor 16 of the cabin.
- the vehicle 1 also carries a floor shielding means 17 which is fixed to the chassis 2 below the cabin 4.
- This shielding is fixed to the chassis by means of attachment means 18 enabling disassembly to replace the shielding means 17, for example when it is deformed by an explosion. It will also be possible to replace the shielding means 17 to modify the level of protection of the vehicle 1.
- This shielding means 17 completes the protection provided by the shielding 15.
- the shielding means 17 (as well as the shield 15) may easily be replaced with an improved shielding means of different structure, to allow to ensure 1 Protection against new threats.
- Linking means 21 allow the transfer of signals or information from the cab 4 to the rear module 10 (and vice versa).
- the invention facilitates the definition of a vehicle adapted to the needs of a user.
- the armored cabin 4 includes most of the means ensuring the protection of the occupants of the vehicle. Apart from the shielding means 17, the frame 2 can thus be a standard commercial chassis. The mass of the vehicle is reduced because only the cabin is reinforced. The front 6 and rear 10 modules may not be protected or have little protection. They are therefore relatively light.
- FIG. 3 shows a vehicle 1 similar to that of FIG. 1 but in which the second module 10 is a simple transport tray.
- FIG. 4 shows another vehicle 1 in which the second module 10 is a platform supporting a turret 19 carrying a small or medium-sized weapon system 20.
- This weapon system and its turret can be remotely operated from the inside. of cabin 4 by implementing
- a connecting means 21 (e.g. wire) connecting the cabin 4 and a control box 22 of the turret 19 and the weapon system 20.
- This connection means permit the transfer of data between the housing 22 and an interface control 23 arranged in the cabin 4.
- the turret may be controlled by an operator who can exit the cabin 4 by a physical communication means connecting the cabin to the second module 10, for example the opening 24 (closed by a door).
- FIG. 5 shows, by way of example, a vehicle 1 which comprises the shielded cabin 4 and a first module 6 arranged on another type of chassis 2.
- This chassis is elongated with respect to the chassis described with reference to FIG. It carries two rear axles carrying two pairs of wheels 3a, 3b.
- This chassis has a higher carrying capacity.
- the vehicle 1 here comprises two rear modules 10a and 10b.
- the module 10a closest to the cabin 4 communicates with the latter through an opening 24 and 21 communication interfaces.
- This module 10a is an inhabited module, carrying for example a command post or a communications station.
- the module 10b is a simple transport tray.
- the cabin 4 may however remain substantially identical to the condition of being able to adapt to appropriate mechanical interfaces on the chassis and with the mobility means (engine 7 and steering means 14 controlling the wheels 3).
- Figure 6 shows a vehicle 1 for which the frame 2 carries caterpillars 25.
- the shielded cabin 4 is again attached to the frame 2.
- the first module 6 of course comprises a motor 7 and steering control means adapted to the control of the caterpillars 25.
- Various variants are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. It is thus possible to define a vehicle in which the first module 6 protecting the engine 7 is behind the cab 4. This type of mounting will be possible provided that the control interface means of the cabin, including means 12a which control the motorization 7.
- the drive control can be made by electric cables, it will be sufficient for example to provide at the cabin 4 a wiring with two different interfaces: one can provide the link with a motor located at the front of the cabin and a other able to provide a link with a motor located at the rear of the cabin.
