Fighting vehicle with telescopic platform - has remote control, operation and indication of weapons and platform attitude for each platform

The invention relates to a military fighter driving generating according to the preamble of claim 1. The like fighting vehicles have been developed to the advantageous use of weapons from positions behind covering protected areas by converting or overshoot same to allow.

In previous versions it was customary always only one lifting system with non-man to ter howdah on such vehicles bring (DE 31 20 338).

In the course of further previous applications had the same inventors then first two calm manned combat platforms in a two-part articulated mast constructed (DE 34 37 625). This arrangement of two However, platforms carried out on one and the same Jack system. It increased relative to the effectiveness Combat vehicles with a single platform, but led the technical details to the realization that the Mutual movement of both moderate dependence Platforms from common Hubsatz adversely to the simultaneous control of several destinations from acts.

The present invention is therefore based on the object, A combat vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 to be designed so that any interference Build two lifting systems with combat platforms largely on a common emergency vehicle be excluded, and effectiveness increase is achieved.

This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claims reached. The with this invention achievable advantages are that by the Construction of two intrinsically flexible combat platforms at the upper ends separate in all directions extendable lifting systems, both at their lower End with a common rotational axis tilting and turning the vehicle are articulated, the number of of such a struggle driving testify simultaneously usable weapons will be doubled. In addition, the mobility of two intrinsically allows Portable combat platforms and lifting equipment is now an effective common as well as separate insert the arranged on the fight platforms and weapons Equipment against ground and air targets in the same or different directions and distances.

Mutual disabilities are due to the high loading mobility of the inserts compensated. All BEWE se- quences and position changes both the Hub systems and combat platforms are the crew constantly displayed figuratively in the vehicle. additionally automatically back incipient movement and fire lock against carelessness in combat.

When lifting systems are at slight highly mobile combat vehicles preferably on or mehrschübige Teles kopausleger provided. Two armed Knickhebelaus offer casual with telescoping upper support arms contrast with heavy versions of such struggle vehicles certain advantages. combinations ver various lifting systems are also possible.

The subject invention features by building two mutually independently deployable combat Platt shapes via a comparison with previous armed Systems superior efficacy.

The ability to maintain soil surveys, houses etc. around or to overshoot and therefore this to use as cover, can be the best possible terrain use in combat to. It is all so out led combat vehicles award because they put only a small target their bidding, unmanned combat platforms equipped with weapons and warning Visionik sensors from enemy fire, while the crew protected with the vehicle in partial or full coverage remains. The subject invention may be effected by his two combat platforms with dual combat strength and due to the high mobility of its insert parts flexible and responsive to an opponent Act.

The invention is particularly suitable for DEFENCE zone-based uses. For example allows the combined use of several moderate Combat vehicles, that only one of several operating combat vehicles its Visionik Monitoring extends and other means of continuously transmitted Real-time images informed until the most opportune time point has come for them to take action. This Example is intended to show that new operational tactics and the enemy surprising special forms of struggle may be associated.

The increased number howdah the subject invention stand improved circumferentially also its observation and monitoring capability. This is accompanied by a increased survival and responsiveness. Of the Registration subject has Double Attack strength and is more flexible and effective than available known developments. inventive from tours can be with their lifting systems also himself loaded or other vehicles and thus their own facilitate care and maintenance. also allow the removal and recovery of of lifting equipment including combat platform without help their radio, cable or fiber optic remote-controlled stationary use. the settling Combat vehicle remains with the second plant here still an emergency vehicle with a Hubplatt form as similar usefulness.
