RU168598U1 - MILITARY CRAWLER MACHINE WITH ACTIVE MASKING SYSTEM - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to military tracked vehicles. The essence of the utility model lies in the fact that the tracked chassis contains an armored casing, including an engine, transmission, torsion bar suspension, guides, driving and track rollers, and a driver’s workstation, an armored turret, including weapons, a fire control system and commander’s workstations and gunner-operator, and a camouflage system, including camouflage sheets, master devices and color control units. The technical result of the utility model consists in reducing the preparation time of the machine for changing weather conditions, as well as in reducing the visibility of the machine in the visible range.

Description

The utility model relates to military tracked vehicles, namely to armored weapons and equipment.

The T-72B2 “Slingshot” tank is known, which was first introduced in 2006 in Nizhny Tagil and is a deep modernization of the T-72 tank with the aim of significantly improving its tactical and technical characteristics. An improved 125 mm 2A46M-5 cannon with ammunition of increased power, an optical-electronic device for increasing firing accuracy, a new fire control system with a multi-channel gunner’s sight “Sosna”, a complex of optical-electronic suppression “Blind”, modular dynamic protection “Relic” were installed , a system of electromagnetic protection against anti-tank mines, and a camouflage complex "Cape".

The "Cape" complex is designed to reduce the likelihood of detecting a tank in the radar and near infrared ranges by day and night instruments and sights, thermal imaging systems and homing heads. [1 - BTVT Website "btvt.narod.ru/rogatka/rogatka1.htm].

The disadvantage of the existing complex is the unchanged color scheme, requiring up to 24 hours to replace the camouflage coating to match the surrounding terrain and weather conditions.

The problem to which the claimed technical solution is directed is to create a military tracked vehicle containing a tracked chassis, including an armored casing, a transmission, a torsion bar suspension, guides, drive and track rollers, and a driver’s workstation, and an armored tower including weapons , a fire control system and the workplaces of the commander and gunner-operator, and a camouflage system that provides a quick change in color scheme.

This task is achieved due to the fact that the tracked chassis contains an armored body, engine, transmission, torsion bar suspension, guides, driving and track rollers, and a driver’s workstation, and an armored tower that includes weapons, a fire control system and commander’s workstations and gunner-operator, and a camouflage system, including special and basic camouflage sheets, master devices and central and local control units.

The technical result provided by the given set of features is to reduce the time of preparing the machine for changing weather conditions, as well as reducing the visibility of the machine in the visible range.

The main masking sheets are part of a universal masking system designed for installation on the side and stern projections of various types of armored vehicles, while special masking sheets are created for each type of weapon separately, mainly on the frontal projections of the armored vehicles, in order to ensure that the driver retains the view , operator-gunner and commander, and do not interfere with aiming and firing.

The device is illustrated in FIG. 1-3, which depict a General view of the masking sheet assembly with electromagnetic master devices and a local control unit, and top and side views of a tank with an installed active masking system.

In FIG. 1 shows a General view of the masking sheet assembly, where

1 - masking sheet with a multicolor coating;

2 - master devices;

3 - armored connecting wires;

4 - local control unit.

In FIG. 2 shows a top view of a tank with an active camouflage system installed, where

5 - central color management unit;

6 - armored housing;

8 - workplace of the driver;

9 - armored turret;

10 - weapons;

11 - the workplace of the commander;

12 - workplace gunner-operator;

13 - special case camouflage sheets;

14 - the main body camouflage sheets;

15 - special tower camouflage sheets;

16 - the main tower camouflage sheets.

In FIG. 3 shows a side view of a tank with an active camouflage system installed, where

7 - track rollers;

10 - weapons;

13 - special case camouflage sheets;

14 - the main body camouflage sheets;

15 - special tower camouflage sheets;

16 - the main tower camouflage sheets.

A military tracked vehicle includes a tracked chassis containing an armored casing (6), including an engine, transmission, torsion bar suspension, guides, driving and track rollers (7), and a driver’s workstation (8), an armored turret (9), including weapons (10), a fire control system and the workplaces of the commander (11) and the gunner-operator (12), and a camouflage system, including special hull (13) and main hull camouflage sheets (14), tower special (15) and tower main camouflage sheets (16) specifying the device wa (2) and central (5) and local control units (4).
