- low security of the operator, located in the BO in comparison with the crew members located inside the chassis of the combat vehicle, since the head and shoulders of the operator are in the upper part of the combat vehicle.

Closest to the claimed object is the design of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle BMP-2 (BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. Technical description and instruction manual. Part 1. Moscow. Military publishing house, 1987), which is selected as a prototype.

BO is located in the middle of the machine body behind the power compartment. BO includes a tower with a swinging mask, in which an automatic gun (AP) and a coaxial machine gun are installed. In the roof of the tower between the hatches of the operator and the commander, a launcher (launcher) of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) is installed. PU is designed to aim at the target, launch launch and flight control ATGM to the target. PU consists of a guide, a cap with a 9Sh119M1 device, a running gear, guidance drives, a control box and a control unit. The guide is designed to install and fix only one ATGM.

The tower is equipped with commander and operator workstations. At the commander’s workplace there are: the commander’s hatch with observation devices and illuminator, a seat, the commander’s sight and the stabilizer control panel. At the operator’s workplace there are: a seat, an operator’s sight, a stabilizer control panel, monitoring devices, a turret swivel mechanism, a paired mounting hoist and a turret stopper.

The commander and operator, using the indicated instruments and mechanisms, conduct an overview of the terrain, detect the target, measure the range to the target, point the weapon at the target and fire a shot.

To the right and left on the sides of the tower are fixed launchers (PU) of the system for setting the curtains (SDR). In the aft part of the tower, the antenna input pipe is rigidly fixed.

The disadvantages of BO are:

- low security crew BO;

- the large volume occupied by the BO as part of the chassis of a combat vehicle;

- the impossibility of "tandem" firing ATGM due to the long time of reloading PU;

- increased vulnerability PU ATGM installed on the roof of the tower;

- the inability to detect laser radiation generated by enemy equipment, which increases the vulnerability of the combat vehicle.

The objective of the invention is the creation of a qualitatively new combat vehicle with enhanced combat and operational characteristics of the fighting compartment and with reliable protection of the crew. In addition, the technical solution is aimed at increasing the security of the combat vehicle in battle, reducing the volume occupied by combat vehicles in the chassis of the fighting vehicle, and increasing the likelihood of hitting various enemy targets.

The task is solved by the fighting compartment of the armored object, including the turret with an automatic gun (AP) placed on it and a coaxial machine gun mounted in a rotating mask, anti-tank missile launchers, manholes located in the roof of the turret, sights of the operator and commander, devices and mechanisms of the fire control system, PU SDR and antenna inputs.

New is that the devices and mechanisms installed in the combat compartment are electrically connected to the devices of the fire control system of the operator and the commander, whose workplaces are equipped in the chassis of the combat vehicle, the anti-tank missile systems are located on the sides in the vertical dimensions of the tower and are designed to launch two ATGM from each launcher, on the right in the direction of fire there is an AP ammunition loading hatch, in the aft part of the turret there is a hatch providing maintenance of the AP and machine gun and access to instruments and mechanisms, size When mounted inside the tower, the operator’s and commander’s sights have a modular design and are mounted on stable platforms, the operator’s sight is located on the right in the bow of the tower in frontal projection dimensions of the tower, the commander’s sight is mounted on the tower’s roof providing a circular view of the terrain, under anti-tank launchers and on the rear the SDRP launchers are placed on the wall of the tower, additionally introduced indicators of laser radiation of the SDRs, antenna inputs of the radio station and additionally The data of the recognition device and the sensor of the state of the atmosphere are made with the possibility of folding in the stowed position.

On the right in the roof of the tower there is a hatch 6 loading ammunition AP. In the aft of the tower 1 there is a hatch 7, which provides maintenance of AP and machine gun and access to devices and mechanisms located inside the tower.

To the right in the bow of tower 1 on a stabilized platform is the operator’s sight 8. The operator’s sight 8 is installed so that when viewed from the front, it does not protrude beyond the dimensions of tower 1. On the left of the roof of tower 1, a panoramic sight of the commander 9 is installed on the stabilized platform. The sights are modular design and include a thermal imaging channel, television channels, a guided missile guidance channel, a range finder and an optical detection locator. Laser launchers 10 are located under the launchers 5 and on the rear wall of the tower 1. Laser radiation indicators 11 are installed in the bow and sides of the aft of the tower 11. The antenna inputs of the atmospheric condition sensor 12, the antennas of the radio station 13, and the recognition devices 14 are foldable.

The proposed design of the fighting compartment of the armored object provides:

- reliable protection of the commander and operator, located inside the chassis of the combat vehicle, from shells, bullets and fragments;

- search, detection, recognition and tracking of stationary and moving targets (auto tracking of up to 4 targets in sight);

- stabilization in two planes of the line of sight and aiming the aiming mark at the target by signals from the fire control system when firing from the place and on the move with all types of ammunition;

- formation of a control information field by the coded laser beam for guiding the ATGM to the target with the center of the control field above the line of sight and without exceeding;

- stabilization and stabilized guidance of the twin AP and machine gun launchers, ATGM launchers when firing from a place, on the move and afloat;
