Abstract

The invention relates to a combat vehicle with an anti-aircraft system. A device carrier configured as an azimuth-pivotable turret (4) is arranged on the top side of the combat vehicle (1), and carries as the first effective element for the purpose of air defense an automatic weapon (4) which can be pivoted into an elevation position. The second effective element for the purpose of air defense is at least one launching device (8', 8) for vertically taking off guided missiles mounted at the rear of the combat vehicle (1). The launching device (8', 8) can be displaced from a horizontal transport position into a vertically oriented launching position. The launching device (8') can be integrated into the vehicle contour in the transport position and can be arranged at a defined distance to the combat vehicle in the launching position.

Description

The invention relates to a combat vehicle with anti-aircraft system having the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Such a combat vehicle is in EP 03 88 762 A2 described. It is a military combat vehicle upgrade kit with a combat platform that can be a simple rocket box and is located on the roof of a battle tank behind the tower. The rocket box can be erected to launch from the horizontal position to the vertical.

Combat vehicles with air defense system are still in the documents DE 100 24 320 C2 and DE 34 10 467 A1 described.

When setting up DE 100 24 320 C2 is the first arranged on the rotatable device carrier active agent designed as a launching container for fast fragmentation grenades.

When setting up DE 34 10 467 A1 is the first means of action as arranged on a carapace turret launcher designed for launching throwing bodies.

It is still out DE 102 47 350 A1 a device for the protection of objects against ammunition designed as a missile, which may also be arranged on a combat vehicle and in which warning sensors are arranged on a common equipment carrier above a launching device for firing action means.

Finally it is over US 5,661,254 known to arrange a launch vehicle for missile pivotable in azimuth and elevation on a combat vehicle.

The invention has the object of providing a combat vehicle with anti-aircraft system having the features of the preamble of claim 1, so as to form an anti-aircraft hybrid system that allows the use of both guns and missiles as a means of action on a weapon system

The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

A basic idea of the invention is that the launcher for launching in the vertical direction Lenklugkörper is arranged at the rear of the combat vehicle, that they in two movement steps from a transport position in which they are preferably in the vehicle contour is integrated and oriented horizontally, is movable into a Abschusstellung in which it is vertically aligned and can be arranged at a predetermined distance from the vehicle.

In the following an embodiment of a combat vehicle with anti-aircraft system according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The combat vehicle shown in the drawings has a vehicle trough 1, which is supported by a chain chassis 1.1. On the roof panel 1.2 of the vehicle pan 1, a rotatable in azimuth tower 3 is arranged, which is equipped with a designed as a twin-tube weapon machine gun 4. Furthermore, a target assignment radar device 5 is arranged at the turret rear, which is located in the working position above the machine gun 4 and - as in Fig. 4 with 5 'indicated - is formed foldable. Between the gun barrels of the machine gun 4, a target tracking sensor 6 is arranged on the tower front, and on the tower roof is an additional, regardless of mounted to other sensors directional all-round sensor 7, the crew allows the optronische terrain monitoring using a CCD camera or thermal imaging device.

The machine gun 4 represents a first means of action for air defense. To realize an anti-aircraft hybrid system, a second active means is provided, which is designed as a launching device 8 or 8 'for launching missile in the vertical direction. The launcher can take two positions, namely once a Abschusstellung in which it is vertically aligned and arranged at a predetermined distance from the vehicle pan and on the other hand, a transport position in which it is aligned horizontally and integrated into the vehicle contour. In the FIGS. 1 to 3 is the transport position with reference numeral 8 'and in Fig. 4 the firing position respectively denoted by reference numeral 8.

In the illustrated embodiment, two such launchers 8 and 8 'are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the vehicle longitudinal axis at the rear of the vehicle. The integration of the launcher in the vehicle contour is done in the trained as a tracked vehicle combat vehicle by the launcher 8 'are arranged in the transport position in each case in the chain case 1.3 parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis.

The movement of the launcher from the transport position to the Abschusstellung done in two steps. In a first movement step, the horizontal launching device 8 'is displaced horizontally in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal axis until the launching device lies outside the vehicle contour. In a second movement step then takes place a pivoting of the launching device from the horizontal to the vertical position, which is designated by reference numeral 8.

In order to enable this movement, each launching device is associated with a bearing and drive unit 9 arranged at the rear of the combat vehicle. This serves u.a. for the storage of transversely across the vehicle width reaching linear guideways 9.2, on which slidable holders are guided, are arranged on which outwardly facing, in its longitudinal direction in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal axis slidable support arms 9.1. By arranged in not specifically shown manner in the storage and drive units electrical drive devices, the support arms can be moved 9.1 to the outside. At the outer end of the support arms 9.1 each launcher 8 'is pivotally mounted about a horizontal, perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal axis pivot axis.

Both the sliding movement and the pivotal movement of the launcher are arranged by arranged in the storage and drive units 9, not shown electrical drive devices.

In the illustrated embodiment, the drive device for the pivoting movement of the Abschusseinrichtung is realized by a cable 10, which in the Fig. 1 . 3 and 4 is indicated in its visible to the outside elements. In the respective storage and drive unit 9 is a driven by a drive motor, not shown, cable drum on which the pull cable 10 is wound. The traction cable 10 is guided via cable guides or rollers to the launcher 8 or 8 ', the end 10.1 of the traction cable 10 being fastened in the region of the end of the launcher 8 or 8' facing away from the pivot axis. In this embodiment, the launcher 8 'is pivoted down under the effect of the dead weight of the launcher, while the swinging up takes place via the pull cable 10.

The end positions of the movements are secured by locking devices, not shown.
