Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weapon system for launching or firing light ammunition such as short-range missiles, rockets, or even grenades or the like, in the direction of targets such as armored vehicles or the like.
  • these weapons systems are generally portable, that is to say that they are transported by men.
  • the weapon systems mainly comprise one or more cylindrical launch tubes inside which the ammunition is housed respectively, and a firing station including, among others, aiming and firing control devices.
  • a firing station including, among others, aiming and firing control devices.
  • the firing station is placed on the shoulder of a (military) operator who fires from the control device.
  • the firing station can also be attached to a support, such as a tripod.
  • the tube housing the ammunition during the various operations of handling and movement also serves as launching tube of the ammunition such as an anti-tank missile.
  • the length of the tube is necessarily much greater than the ammunition and must correspond to the distance required for the missile ejection speed to be compatible with a departure under optimal conditions.
  • the tube can easily to exceed a meter in length with, consequently, a heavy weight to which is added that of the ammunition.
  • Such a weapon system leads to a significant congestion and weight that is added to other equipment and equipment already worn by the military during missions. So that the weapon system is transported by two servicemen, one carrying the or usually two ammunition tubes on a bag-to-back type carrying equipment, the other carrying the post. shot also attached to a specific carrying equipment of the bag-to-back type. To this can be added the tripod support and other ancillary equipment.
  • a weapon system comprising a tube inside which is housed a munition, and a shooting station on which is mounted the tube for launching the ammunition.
  • the firing station is equipped with an extension tube for receiving the launch tube of the ammunition, the diameters of the launch tube and the extender being identical.
  • the present invention aims to facilitate the movement of operators on mission by improving their mobility and endurance, and to provide a weapon system of the type above whose design reduces its size and weight.
  • said tubular extension comprises at least a first cylindrical portion adapted to be fixed to the firing station and receiving, by said connecting means, the front end of said ammunition tube, and a second movable cylindrical portion, mounted in said first fixed cylindrical portion, and occupying, prior to mounting the tube, a position retracted into the first cylindrical portion and, as a result of mounting the tube over substantially the entire length of the first fixed cylindrical portion, a the output position relative to the first cylindrical portion, for which said ammunition carrier tube is ready for operation, said second movable cylindrical portion constituting the length of extension to the tube for launching the ammunition.
  • tubular extender attached to the firing station and disassociated from the ammunition tube serves as part of the launcher tube and thus serves for all ammunition shortened tubes transported during the same mission or a next mission.
  • cost savings are achieved by reusing the extender after each shot. In the end, only the ammunition tube of the weapon system is disposable.
  • the firing station is protected from thermal and mechanical stresses related to the ejection of the munition by the tube and the tubular extension.
  • the fixed part serves as a common connection to the tube and the moving part which corresponds to the additional tube part necessary for the correct firing of the ammunition due to the shortening of the ammunition tube.
  • said complementary connecting means are of the screw type, the front end of said cylindrical tube comprising a thread cooperating with a thread formed in the axial passage of said tubular extension. Note the simplicity and reliability of realization of these connecting means, ensuring a firm and solid support of the tube in the tubular extension.
  • the output position of the second mobile part is marked by an axial abutment provided on the first fixed part of said tubular extension.
  • said complementary connecting means are of the interlocking, telescopic type.
  • the second movable portion slides axially in the manner of a cylinder rod, between its two limit positions, or helically in ramps or the like.
  • fastening means associate the tubular extension to said firing station.
  • the same fastening means are used as those initially intended for a tube of great length of the prior art, which thus limits the design costs.
  • said tubular extension is integrated with said firing station and slides relative thereto between a position returned to the firing station and a protruding position of said firing station when said missile tube is mounted in said firing station.
  • the weapon system may comprise, in a support of the firing station, a plurality of cylindrical ammunition tubes, arranged in one or more ranks and on which is mounted, successively and automatically after each shot, said extension.
  • the weapon system instead of being worn by an operator, is mounted on a carrier or on a fixed base and provides the aforementioned advantages, namely cost savings, weight and bulk by the automated reuse of the same extender successively on all the ammunition tubes.
  • the figure 1 shows, in schematic longitudinal section, the ammunition tube and the extinguisher station of a weapon system according to the invention, before assembly.
  • the Figures 2 and 3 show the ammunition tube and the weapon system extender at and after assembly, respectively.
  • the tube 2 is open and the ends designated rear 7 and 9 before its cylindrical side wall, are open for the introduction of the missile in the housing 4 and its subsequent launch.
  • the cylindrical tube 2 is dimensionally adapted to the missile.
  • protective caps 10 and 11 are provided at the ends of the tube. They are mounted, by screwing on an external thread 12 provided on the cylindrical side wall 3 of the tube, at the front ends 9 and rear 7, thus closing the openings of the housing 4 of the tube. One could consider fitting fitted plugs around the ends.
  • the geometric shape in this case substantially octagonal, in front view, plugs, facilitating transport and storage.
  • the firing station 6 is, according to the invention, equipped with a tubular, cylindrical extension 14, the purpose of which is to ensure axial continuity with the tube 2 for launching the missile 5 because the tube 2 is of similar length to the missile, which thus advantageously reduces the size and weight of these tubes for the reasons mentioned above.
  • the tubular extension 14 is composed of a first fixed portion 15 with a cylindrical wall 16 open at its ends, and a second movable portion 17 with a cylindrical wall 18 open at its ends and mounted, axially movable, within the first fixed part.
  • the cylindrical wall 16 is, in the representation, of total annular section, but one could consider a partial annular section of the gutter type.
  • the first portion 15 of the extender 14 is secured to the firing station 6 by fastening means 20 forming supports and schematically represented fasteners, for correctly positioning and maintaining the extender on the firing station.
  • fastening means 20 forming supports and schematically represented fasteners, for correctly positioning and maintaining the extender on the firing station.
  • the side wall 18 of the second movable part 17 Inside the axial passage 21 delimited by the side wall 16 of the first fixed part 15 is engaged the side wall 18 of the second movable part 17.
  • the axial displacement thereof relative to the first part can be effected in different ways, the main thing being to bring the second part of a position entered in the first part, for which the tubular extension is inactive ( figures 1 and 2 ), at an extended position relative to the first part, for which the tubular extension is active, operational ( figure 3 ), and vice versa.
  • the axial displacement of the second part is carried out by screwing also allowing, as will be seen, the mounting of the tube 2.
  • the cylindrical side wall 16 of the first part 15 is internally provided, on the side of its axial passage 21, with a tapping 22 along its entire length in the illustrated representation, while the cylindrical side wall 18 of the second part 17 is externally provided with a corresponding thread 23 along its entire length also.
  • the tapping could be partial, made at one or both ends of the fixed part.
  • the two parts are screwed into each other until a transverse end shoulder 24, forming a stop and ending the second part, is applied against the transverse end face 25 of the first part, as shown in figure 1 .
  • the transverse end face 26 of the second part, opposite the shoulder 24, is then close, but at a distance, from the other transverse face 27 of the first part, so as to allow the assembly of the tube as we will see later.
  • cylindrical side wall 18 of the second portion 17 thus engages substantially all of the internal threaded passage 21, 22 of the first portion 15, the length L1 of the second portion constituting the length required for correct launching missile, in addition to that of the tube.
  • the internal diameter D1 of the internal axial passage 28 of this second tubular portion corresponds to the diameter D of the tube.
  • This mounting by screwing could of course be replaced by any other suitable mounting, such as by interlocking, telescopic.
  • the protective caps 10 and 11 of the tube are removed and the open front end 9 thereof is arranged axially opposite the tubular extension 14, on the side of the transverse face 27 of the first fixed part 15.
  • the tube 2 is screwed progressively into the threaded passage 21, 22 of this first fixed part as shown in figure 2 . It can be seen on the latter that the transverse faces 13, 26 respectively of the tube 2 and of the second cylindrical portion 17 are close to one another.
  • the second movable portion 17 of the extension 14 is unscrewed (23-thread thread 22) and thus changes from the retracted position to the extended position relative to the first fixed portion 15, which position can be marked by a usual abutment symbolized at 30 on the figure 3 .
  • the screwing of the tube 2 missile carrier 5 continues in the threaded wall of the first fixed part 15, which thus ensures the maintenance of the tube in the extender over almost the entire length of the first part and that until contact between the transverse faces 13 and 26 and without discontinuity due to the identical diameters D and D1 of the tube 2 and the second cylindrical portion 17.
  • the weapon system 1 shown on the figure 3 is then ready to work.
  • the movable part 17 is then locked in the retracted position by screwing, then evolves freely after unscrewing, and the tube assembly 2-moving part 17 is then locked by screwing.
  • the tube 2 missile carrier 5 is simply removed from the extender 14, then removed, the mobile part replaced in the fixed part, in the retracted position .
