Description

The invention relates to the field of armored vehicles, in particular to floating armored tracked vehicles, and can be used both in military affairs and in the national economy in the Ministry of Emergencies and transport services.

A search was performed for classes RU 2123432 C1. 20, SU 1770203 F, US 5228528 A, FR 2770805 A, US 3590685 A, F4111 7/02, B62D 55/065

The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle is known - see V.S. Wozniuk, P.Η Shapov "Armored vehicles", Moscow, publishing house DOOSAF USSR, 1987, p. 98, weighing about 14 tons. With rubber-metal joints in track chains, a torsion bar suspension and an engine in front.

The machine overcomes water obstacles afloat by rewinding the tracks in special navigable casings.

The BMD-1 floating airborne caterpillar tracked landing vehicle is known - see V.S. Voznyuk, P.Η Shapov “Armored vehicles”, Moscow, publishing house DOOSAF USSR, 1987, p. 100, weighing 7.2 tons, with two water-jet propulsors and the location of the power plant in the rear of the hull. Speed afloat up to 10 km / h.

The disadvantage of these machines is their vulnerability to modern means of destruction, especially afloat when crossing water barriers, poor security of personnel inside the car and insufficient patency on weakly bearing soils.

The closest in combination of features analogue is an armored personnel carrier with a transformable protective shield, described in patent RU 2399857 C1 of 11.23.2009.

Transformable shields of such an armored personnel carrier allow protecting an additional number of personnel from bullets and fragments, and also make it possible to observe the enemy and conduct fire on him to suppress.

The disadvantages of this design are the weighting of the armored personnel carrier and, as a consequence, the deterioration of patency on weakly bearing soils, the increase in size and, therefore, the likelihood of damage by enemy fire weapons, the limited maneuverability of the armored personnel carrier in real combat operations.

The task to which the proposed technical solutions are directed is to provide a manifold increase in the security of personnel inside the armored vehicle’s body, to ensure its patency on any soil, to secretly overcome water barriers of any depth, and also to overcome infected and radioactive areas.

The indicated technical results are achieved in that the body of the armored vehicle is made in the form of a multi-capsule structure, the patency is ensured by wheel-caterpillar and navigational propulsors, the wheels are able to transform telescopically, and the body of the armored vehicle is automatically sealed.

The invention is illustrated by drawings. In FIG. 1 shows a side view of an armored vehicle without a right wing. In FIG. 2 is a rear view in a stowed position on hard ground with the casement closed. In FIG. 3 is a rear view when driving on soil with low bearing capacity with the casement open, the armored vehicle has the same shape when moving under water, when the casement is closed and sealed.

The armored vehicle contains a housing 1, consisting of a lower stationary part with a horizontal plate 2, divided into sections by a longitudinal plate 3 and transverse partitions 4 according to the number of personnel, with swivel chairs 5 and the possibility of mounting on it in the rear of the engine 6, wheel mover 7 s clutches 8, a caterpillar mover with a rotary suspension 9, a navigational mover with an annular nozzle 10, a compressor 11 and a steering wheel 12, the casement rotary 13 with hatches 14, where the eyepieces 15 and loopholes 16 are located above the protective shields 17, on which the batteries 18 and compressed air cylinders 19 are installed before forcing the water barrier, while all parts of the housing and the turret 20 with weapons in the front of the housing are automatically sealed with a sealing tube 21 along the entire interface, and the motor 22 and the lower exit hatches 23 are respectively mounted and manually sealed by pressure handles.

To illustrate the possibilities of increasing the protection of personnel with a multicapsule machine, one can give an example of calculating the probability of complete destruction of personnel of an armored vehicle with the smallest caliber of ammunition that such a defeat produces when piercing armor up to 30 mm thick in real conditions.

Let the accuracy of defeat of the manpower compartment on an armored vehicle be 0.9, that is, out of two shells fired by the enemy, at least 1 will fall into the compartment and the personnel of the existing armored vehicle will be disabled.

In the case of a multi-capsule machine, where there is no total volume available for destruction, only one capsule will be affected. For further defeat with the same accuracy of 0.9, the enemy will be forced to fire at a target that has already "decreased" by 0.1 and is now 0.9 from the previous one. In this case, the probability of hitting the next shot will be equal to 0.81. Continuing the calculations, we get a series of numbers giving the overall probability of a complete defeat of personnel:

W = 0.9 × 0.81 × 0.72 × 0.63 × 0.54 × 0.45 × 0.36 × 0.27 × 0.18 × 0.09 = 0.000126, i.e.

the enemy would have to spend at least a thousand times more shells or switch to a larger caliber, which means a forced reduction in the number of shots at the attackers, or not to set a goal for the complete destruction of the crew, but only limit the area of its impact, damaging the chassis of the armored vehicle. Thus, the protection of personnel with a multi-capsule machine would be much more successful than with monoblock vehicles with the same thickness of the armor. In addition, in the proposed armored vehicle there are very few protruding parts, which increases the ricochet properties of the hull and further increases the survival of personnel.

The increase in patency of the armored vehicle of the proposed design, it is advisable to consider when it moves through marshland and all kinds of swamps.

When approaching a swampy area, the armored car driver delivers compressed air from a compressed air cylinder 19 to a telescopic wheel mover 7 and extends it to the maximum value, providing positive buoyancy of the armored vehicle, includes clutch 4, which are located in the same block with raising gears on the axis of the wheeled mover , and drives the caterpillar mover 9 in synchronous motion with the wheel mover and the same linear speed with it, while the caterpillar mover on the pivots lowers below the wheeled mover and begins to bear the main load when it hits hard ground and solid inclusions, and the casement flaps 13 can be closed and sealed with a tube 21 when compressed air is supplied to it along the entire interface, including the turret 20 and the lower part of the housing 1. When When the armored personnel carrier is immersed in swamp slurry or open water, the navigational propeller 10 is additionally switched on and the armored personnel carrier swims over the swampy area, after which the compressor pump 11 is turned on and the armored vehicle is moving ins evacuates air from the propulsion of the wheel, which is telescopically compressed into the stowed position under air pressure. When moving in a stowed position, if an enemy attack is possible, the personnel is deployed inside the capsules on swivel armored seats 5 with their backs to the outside of the hull, providing themselves with additional protection.

A separate problem is solving the problems of forcing water barriers and covert landing of motorized landing forces on the banks of lakes and sea coasts, since pontoon crossings, river fords and landing technique floating on the water surface can suffer heavy losses as a result of an enemy attack of various types with high-precision weapons, and missile and bomb handling ford and pontoon crossings can make them unsuitable for these purposes. Of course, the secrecy of ongoing operations helps to solve these problems, but it is difficult to achieve with modern means of ground, air and space reconnaissance.

A controlled change in the volume of the wheels will allow the armored vehicle to swim underwater at a depth of up to 15 m to a range of 4 km at a speed of 1.5-2 m / s, while the electric battery 18 for the electric motor 22 is installed before the forcing of the water barrier onto the protective shields 17, and at the end it is dumped on the go with the cylinders 19 ashore for recharging by the technical service, and the further movement is carried out with the help of diesel 2. While reducing the time of forcing or refueling the high pressure cylinders 19 correspondingly respiratory mixture immersion depth for the forcing water barriers can be significantly increased, which further complicate detection motodesanta landing operation adversary. The diving depth is vibrated by the commander using the steering wheel 12, based on the conditions of the landing. When preparing forcing, the exit hatches 14, 23 and loopholes 16 are sealed with clamping screws.
