Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a weapon system, in particular with an increase in caliber with a constant interface in an existing turret of a combat vehicle, such as the Leopard 2 or Leclerc.
  • the invention relates in particular to the scaffolding of a weapon system with a larger caliber diameter in the existing "tower" interface of a weapon system of smaller caliber with the aim of increasing the performance of the weapon system and thus of the combat vehicle.
  • the MBT Leopard 2 currently has a weapon system in caliber 120 mm. In the late 1970s, it replaced the Leopard 1 MBT with a cannon in caliber 105 mm. An increase in caliber was made. However, increasing the caliber of a main battle tank has significant effects on the entire MBT system. These effects are reflected, among other things, in the installation space or the dimensions of the weapon system through a larger cargo space. The tower load or the system load are also problematic. Problems also arise from the ammunition handling (dimensions) and the dimensions of the ammunition bunker. Earlier studies on the scaffolding of a new weapon system, for example in the 140 mm caliber, have made the aforementioned problems clear.
  • the invention therefore has the task of showing a significant increase in the performance of a weapon system of a battle tank while solving the aforementioned problems.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that a significant increase in performance (firepower) of the Leopard 2 battle tank (MBT) is primarily possible through the use of a larger caliber diameter and a larger cargo space in the weapon system.
  • the GB 232,989 A discloses a possibility of being able to fire ammunition from a rifled gun barrel either very far or very short.
  • the cartridge chamber of the gun barrel has at least two pressure cones, so that projectiles of different lengths can be fired from the gun barrel.
  • a gun barrel for firing ammunition with different case lengths describes the U.S. 2,815,602 A. .
  • the invention is based on the idea of maintaining the installation space dimensions of the original weapon system with a new weapon system and approximately maintaining the cargo space diameter of the larger-caliber weapon barrel with respect to the smaller caliber.
  • the larger cargo space volume required for increasing the caliber is achieved predominantly by lengthening the cargo space of the weapon barrel itself. Since the cargo space diameter remains almost unchanged with a larger caliber, the outer dimensions of the weapon barrel in the area of the cargo part also remain almost unchanged.
  • the extension of the length of the cargo space is to be selected depending on the desired shooting performance. This extension is determined by the desired projectile length (required length of the penetrator of the KE ammunition) and the propellant charge required as a result.
  • the ammunition length is limited by the maximum size of the ammunition bunker of the combat vehicle.
  • the advantage of this idea is that problems regarding the dimensions with the new weapon system in the larger caliber are prevented.
  • the increase in performance is essentially achieved by increasing the caliber diameter, lengthening the length of the cargo space and the resulting larger volume of the propellant charge, as well as a possible lengthening of the projectiles (e.g. KE penetrators).
  • KE penetrators e.g. KE penetrators
  • the installation space dimensions of a weapon system in the turret be adhered to and a cargo space diameter of a weapon barrel of larger caliber with respect to the smaller caliber approximately to be retained.
  • the larger cargo space volume required for increasing the caliber is achieved predominantly by lengthening the cargo space of the larger-caliber weapon barrel compared to a cargo compartment of the smaller-caliber weapon barrel itself. Since the cargo space diameter remains almost unchanged in the case of a larger caliber, the external dimensions of the larger-caliber weapon barrel also remain almost unchanged compared to the external dimensions of the smaller-caliber weapon barrel in the area of the cargo part.
  • the higher-caliber weapon system with weapon barrel, breech and recoil system can be integrated into the existing interface of a smaller weapon system in the turret of the main battle tank.
  • the smaller-caliber weapon system can be exchanged and / or replaced by a larger-caliber weapon system, while retaining the existing interface.
  • a weapon barrel 1 ' accordinging to the prior art is shown schematically in section.
  • a front area 11 'of the weapon barrel 1' is a caliber part 12 'with a caliber diameter 13'.
  • a rear region 14 'of the weapon barrel 1' is a cargo part 15 'with a cargo space diameter 16' and a cargo space length 17 '.
  • FIG. 3 shows the modified compared to the prior art weapon barrel 1 according to the invention in section in a schematic representation.
  • a front area 11 is a caliber part 12 with a caliber diameter 13.
  • a rear area 14 is a cargo part 15 with a cargo diameter 16 and a cargo space length 17.
  • the gun barrel 1 'in Fig. 2 has a smaller caliber than the barrel 1 in Fig. 3 on.
  • the weapon barrel 1 ' is in the caliber 120mm, the weapon barrel 1 in the caliber 130mm.
  • the caliber diameter 13 '(120mm) of the smaller-caliber weapon barrel 1' is thus smaller than the caliber diameter 13 (130mm) of the larger-caliber weapon barrel 1.
  • the weapon system 100 is integrated into a turret (mount) via an interface of a battle tank etc., built into it.
  • Each weapon system requires a so-called installation space in the tower.
  • the cargo space diameter 16 of the weapon barrel 1 in relation to the cargo space diameter 16 'of the smaller-caliber weapon barrel 1'.
  • the cargo space length 17 of the cargo part 15 of the larger-caliber weapon barrel 1 is changed in relation to the cargo space length 17 'of the cargo part 15' of the smaller-caliber weapon barrel 1 '(see FIG Fig. 3 ) by an extension 20.
  • the outer dimensions 18, 18 'of the gun barrels 1, 1' are the same in the area of the cargo part 15, 15 ', i.e. the outer size 18 of the larger-caliber gun barrel 1 remains in this area compared to the smaller-caliber gun barrel 1' almost unchanged.
  • the extension 20 of the cargo space 17 is dependent on the length of the ammunition used or to be fired and the amount of propellant charge required to increase performance in the target.
  • the return path of the weapon system 100 can, for example, be lengthened.
  • the idea of the invention for increasing the performance of a weapon system as described is not limited to the 130mm caliber and can also be used in small, medium and other large-caliber weapon systems.
