Description

 The invention relates to military equipment and can be used for armament of objects of armored vehicles, for example armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, etc.

 One of the directions in the development of armament of armored objects is the installation of additional weapons, such as machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and placing them outside the tower. This increases the probability of hitting a target, but increases the possibility of hitting a weapon and its ammunition with armor-piercing incendiary bullets of large-caliber sniper rifles or high-explosive fragmentation shells.

 A well-known tower for light armored vehicles with a lateral arrangement of weapons (see application EPO 0435771, class F 41 A 23/24, publ. July 3, 91), in which additional weapons are mounted outside the tower above the main weapon in a target moving at an angle cradle.

 The location of the weapon outside the tower reduces the reliability of the protection of additional weapons and their ammunition.

 Known tower installation with remote weapons (see RF patent 2112194, class F 41 A 27/00, F 41 H 5/20, publ. 05/27/98), in which the tower installation contains an armored cap with remote weapons. The location of weapons outside the tower increases the likelihood of its destruction.

 Famous combat vehicle, in particular a tank (see German patent 3928614, CL F 41 H 7/02, F 41 A 23/36, publ. 8.10.92,). having a turret, the main weapon and additional weapons mounted on a carriage and placed in the receiving chamber, built into the roof covering of the tower. An additional weapon carriage is connected to the main one using a parallelogram lever mechanism. In the described tower, additional weapons are located in the receiving chamber, however, the reliability of the protection of this chamber is less than the reliability of the protection of the tower.

 Known tower armored vehicles with weapons systems (see RF patent 2035024, CL F 41 A 23/34, publ. 05/10/95), adopted as a prototype. The tower contains an inhabited part, a roof, an opening of a hatch with a cover, the main weapon with an aim and an additional weapon - a grenade launcher mounted on a carriage outside the tower with the possibility of rotation in a vertical plane.

 The location of the grenade launcher outside the tower reduces the reliability of protecting weapons and their ammunition from armor-piercing incendiary bullets of large-caliber sniper rifles. Operational disadvantages are shooting in dusty conditions and reloading outside the tower.

 The objective of the invention is to increase the likelihood of hitting a target, protecting additional weapons and their ammunition, increasing the operational characteristics of weapons.

 The technical result obtained by the implementation of the invention is to enable the installation of several additional weapons, its reliable protection against defeat by installing it behind the armor of the tower while ensuring free access to weapons for loading, placing on carriages, reconciliation work, etc.

 The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the turret of an armored car with a weapon system containing an inhabited part, a roof, an opening of a hatch with a cover, the main weapon with an aim and one additional weapon mounted on a carriage with the possibility of rotation in a vertical plane, the tower is equipped with several other additional guns with carriages, a bevel is made in the rear of the tower, on which the hatchway is located, the lower part of which is located below the guns of additional guns, the manhole cover has protrusions with cavities on the sides, exit extending inside the tower, in front of the roof there is a ledge with a cavity connected to the inhabited part of the tower, on the sides of the tower on the same level as the cavity of the protrusion above the inhabited part there are cavities hidden outward, with one additional weapon placed in the cavity of the roof ledge above the main weapon, and other additional weapons are placed on the sides of the tower in such a way that their rear parts with carriages are located inside the rear of the tower and in the cavities of the protrusions of the manhole cover, and their front parts are placed in the open cavities of the tower , and all additional weapons are kinematically connected with the main weapon and its scope, and the main weapon is equipped with a casing in the back.

 Supply tower armored vehicles with several (for example, two) additional tools (for example, machine guns), their kinematic connection with the main weapon and its scope allows us to solve the problem of increasing the probability of hitting targets.

 The new implementation of the tower elements (the back of the tower, roof, hatchway, manhole cover) and the new placement of additional weapons in the tower allows the rear of the weapon with carriages to be covered with armor, which increases the reliability of protection of the additional weapon, while the tower design provides free access through the inhabited part and a hatchway to all elements of additional weapons, which increases the operational characteristics of the weapon.

 Providing a casing to the rear of the main weapon helps protect the crew of the armored vehicle from the harmful effects of the main weapon (gas pollution and the sound of shots), which also increases the operational characteristics of the weapon.

 Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the proposed technical solution has novelty and inventive step.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where figure 1 shows a General view of the tower; figure 2 is a view along arrow a of figure 1; figure 3 is a section GG of figure 2; figure 4 - the rear of the tower (section DD in figure 1); figure 5 is a top view along arrow B of figure 1; figure 6 - section bb in figure 1.

 The armored vehicle tower with the weapon system contains the main weapon 1 installed in the armored tower 2 on the trunnions 3 of the mask 4. In the front of the roof 5 of the turret above the main weapon there is a ledge 6, in the cavity 7 of which on the trunnions 8 of the mask 9 additional weapons are mounted on the carriage 10 automatic grenade launcher 11. The cavity 7 is connected to the habitable part 12 of the tower. The grenade launcher 11 is kinematically connected with the main weapon 1 by an articulated parallelogram 13 and can synchronously rotate with the main weapon. On the sides of the tower there are two other additional weapons in the form of machine guns 14, while their receiver 15 with carriages 16 are located in the rear uninhabited part 17 of the tower. Carriages 16 are mounted on masks 18 having pins 19 and are connected to the carriage 10 of the grenade launcher 11 by a hinged parallelogram 20. The machine gun trunks 14 are located in the outwardly open cavities 21. The rear of the tower 2 is made with a bevel 22, on which the opening 23 of the hatch is placed and installed cover 24. On the cover there are two protrusions 25 with cavities 26 extending inside the tower, in which the rear parts of the machine guns are located 14. The lower side of the opening is located below the carriages 16. This allows the machine guns 14 to be mounted on the carriages 16 through the opening 23 of the hatch. Sight 27 is connected with the main weapon 1 through a mechanical drive 28 parallelogram type. The rear of the main weapon, located in the habitable part 12 of the tower, is closed by a removable protective casing 29.

 When turning the main weapon, the grenade launcher 11, two machine guns 14 and the optomechanical sight system 27 synchronously with the main weapon rotate at all angles of elevation and declination of the weapon. Shooting for the chosen target is made from one weapon or several weapons.
