This device is the closest to the proposed invention and is taken as a prototype.

Despite the fact that the well-known articulated combat vehicle has several advantages in comparison with the known analogues, it is not without drawbacks, especially in the part concerning the second section. These include: its weak protection from a possible attack by the enemy, which penetrated the battle formations of our troops. Low level of information of the crew of the second section about the situation on the battlefield. Low environmental safety of the second section (with the engine running).

The objective of the invention is to increase the combat effectiveness of the articulated combat vehicle, in particular the second section, increase the security of the crew, improve information and rational (effective) placement of the crew of the second section, improve the environmental safety of the machine.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the articulated combat vehicle, consisting of two connected sections, the sections being configured for dismemberment and autonomous functioning and interconnected by means of a docking device, the first section comprising a tower with weapons, electric energy sources, an electric drive, and controls power plant fire and communications. The second section is equipped with a driver’s workstation, made in an armored turret with an automated aircraft gun, coaxial with a machine gun, periscope, driver’s hatch, controls for the undercarriage and the main power plant, instruments for monitoring the situation on the battlefield and the road. The fighting compartment is located in the center of the second section, and the walls of the fighting compartment are armored and in the upper part have an armored hatch of the fighting compartment. Inside, the fighting compartment is equipped with a workstation for the operator of the anti-aircraft missile system of the radar station, the screen of the radar station, a rotating operator’s seat, the launcher of the anti-aircraft missile system with the possibility of finding it in the combat and stowed positions, and in the stowed position it is closed by an armored plate in which the periscope is located observation of the situation, and in a fighting position is lifted by a lifting device. The armored turret and the fighting compartment are connected by a passage, and the airborne radar antennas are located in the aft part of the hull of the second section, and in the combat position they are closed by radio-transparent bulletproof casings, and in the marching position they are closed by armored covers. The main power plant is equipped with an exhaust filter-converter, and the electric generator and supercapacitor battery are configured to provide energy for the first section and quickly charge the energy sources of the first section.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing. The drawing shows the second section of the articulated combat vehicle:

a) side view, 1 - automated aircraft gun; 2 - armored turret; 3 - periscope, 4 - hatch of the fighting compartment; b) a top view, 5 - the hatch of the docking device; 6 - the hatch of the driver; 7 - coaxial machine gun with a gun; 8 - hatch radar antenna; 9 - shell compartment; 10 - retractable periscope of the fighting compartment; 11 - supercapacitor battery; 12 - electric generator; 13 - airborne radar antennas; 14 - power plant; 15 - exhaust filter neutralizer; c) A-B section of the fighting compartment; 16 - radar station; 17 - screen radar station; 18 - rotating operator's seat; 19 - anti-aircraft missile system operator; 20 - lifting device; 21 - anti-aircraft missile; 22 - launcher.

The second section is based on the hull of a serial tank, for example the T-72. In front of the hull there is an armored turret 2, which houses the driver, an automated aviation 30 mm cannon 1, for example 2A72, a machine gun coaxial with it, controls, a power plant of an articulated combat vehicle 14, as well as devices for monitoring the situation on the battlefield and beyond the road (with autonomous movement of the second section).

At the front of the second section is also located the docking device 5, which is closed by an armored hatch when both sections operate separately, in the upper part of the hull there are two radar antennas designed to scan the front upper space in order to detect helicopters and enemy aircraft. In the combat position, the antennas are closed by radiotransparent bullet-proof covers, and in the marching position they are closed by armored hatches of the radar antennas 8. On both sides of the hull (inside it) there are sectioned fuel tanks equipped with automated fire extinguishers and systems that ensure that the fuel does not leak when the section body is pierced. In the upper part of the hull (behind the turret) there is a shell compartment 9, in the armored compartment in special holders the main ammunition of the gun is installed, for example 50-60 shells. Moreover, it is located horizontally, which facilitates the reloading of the first section. The inner walls of the projectile compartment 9 are armored so that the armor withstands the explosion of ammunition when shells (missiles) of the enemy hit. On top of the projectile compartment is closed with an armor plate. In the central part of the second section there is a fighting compartment, which houses an anti-aircraft missile system, which includes a launcher with two missiles placed on it, for example, such as Strela-2 or Igla, and an ammunition, radar station 16 with a screen radar station 17, which displays the air situation. The signals on the screen 17 come from antennas located in front of the sides and in the rear of the housing 13.

The launcher can be in a combat and marching position. At the same time, in the stowed position, the starting device is placed in the housing, and on top is closed by an armor plate, in which the periscope for monitoring the situation is located. In combat position, the launcher 22 is lifted by a lifting device 20, for example, a hydraulic jack, to a level that allows rockets to be launched 21. The fighting compartment is additionally armored in order to protect the operator from fragments of shells and armor in case of rupture in the section case.

In the aft compartment of the section, a power plant 14 is installed - an internal combustion engine, an electric generator 12 to provide energy to the first section, as well as a supercapacitor battery 11 for quickly charging energy sources of the first section. There is also a gearbox, side clutches connected to the drive wheels. In the back of the case there is a special compartment - an engine exhaust filter-converter 15 by water scuffing, through which they pass to clean the engine exhaust when working in enclosed spaces and shelters.

The work of the proposed machine is as follows. Having received the task of using an articulated combat vehicle, the crew fires from weapons at ground targets. If necessary, the crew divides the first and second sections and prepares them for independent tasks. The first section at this time can carry out various tasks to destroy ground targets, and the second section covers the first and the entire unit from an air attack, remaining in cover. After completing the task, the second section, moving independently, is coupled to the first. If necessary, charge the power supply of the first section and replenish the ammunition.

The proposed articulated combat vehicle has not only relatively high characteristics of maneuverability, maneuverability, as well as the possibility of their further improvement. The modular layout allows to simplify the restoration of vehicles, reduce the vulnerability of military equipment and increase its survivability, since, as it is believed, the probability of failure of both sections simultaneously is small.

The developed articulated combat vehicle has several advantages:

increased survivability of the car, the safety of crew members;

increased crew informativeness about the situation on the battlefield;

improved environmental safety.

All these and other non-listed positive qualities can be obtained by design developments using a significant number of ready-made units and assemblies. The design of the machine is fully consistent with the existing technology of factories that produce and repair tanks.
