Description

The invention relates to military equipment for the design of the fighting squads (BO) of combat vehicles of the ground forces of the light weight category.

Known infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1 (BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle. Technical description. Military publishing house of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, Moscow, 1972, p. 14) which has a BO located in the middle of the vehicle’s body between the partition of the power compartment and the fence landing seats. BO includes an armored cap with a hanging basket. In the armored cap installed:

- smoothbore gun of caliber 73 mm;

- coaxial machine gun;

- gun loading mechanism;

- sight;

- control equipment;

- drive guidance;

- observation devices;

- operator's hatch;

- hatch issuing shots.

On the suspended rotating floor of the basket are installed:

- mechanized stacking of 40 high-explosive fragmentation (HE) rounds;

- operator's seat with control panel;

- cartridge case with magazine for coaxial machine gun;

- styling for two shots.

An arm for anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) is mounted on the barrel and armor mask of the gun.

To point the gun, coaxial machine gun and ATGM into the target, a periscope combined sight and electric drive of guidance in vertical and horizontal planes are installed in the BO.

The disadvantages of BO are:

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

- 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;

- low combat characteristics.

Known design BO infantry fighting vehicle BMP-2 (BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. Technical description and instruction manual. Part 1. Moscow. Military publishing house, 1987). 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 installed launcher (PU) anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM). 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 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 PU systems for setting 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;

- increased vulnerability of anti-tank missile launchers 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.

Known fighting compartment of the armored object (Patent RU No. 2542681 from 01/22/2015, IPC F41H 5/20) selected as a prototype.

The combat compartment includes a turret with an automatic cannon (AP) placed on it and a coaxial machine gun mounted in a rotating mask, an ATGM launcher (launcher), turret roof hatches, operator and commander sights, fire control system devices and mechanisms, and a fire safety system and antenna inputs. ATGM launchers are located on the sides in the vertical dimensions of the turret and are capable of sequentially launching two ATGMs from each launcher, on the right in the direction of shooting there is a loading hatch for AP ammunition, in the aft part of the turret there is a hatch providing maintenance of the AP and loading of cartridge rounds in the machine gun magazine. Under the anti-tank guided missile launcher and on the rear wall of the tower are placed anti-tank missile launchers. In the fore and aft parts of the tower are installed indicators of laser radiation SDR.

The disadvantages of BO are:

- the irrational use of ATGM of large caliber when firing at individual lightly armored targets that cannot be hit by AP;

- not provided with the removal of cartridges and tapes after firing a machine gun outside the BO;

- the possibility of water entering the air intake window of the engine when the machine is immersed in a pond;

The objective of the proposed invention is to increase the combat and operational characteristics of the BW combat vehicles of light weight category.

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 mask, an anti-tank missile launcher (PU), hatches placed in the turret body. New is that on the left in the direction of fire in the aft of the turret there is a shaft in which a guided rocket launcher of smaller caliber is installed, closed with armor caps on top, a guided missile launcher is designed to be raised to the firing position and lowered to the stowed position, the machine gun is mounted outside turret and closed with a dust cover, on the right in the direction of fire in the roof of the turret is made an air intake window of the air supply system of the engine of the combat vehicle, communicating with the engine through the shoulder strap.

The proposed technical solution is illustrated by graphic materials, where in FIG. 1 shows a top view of the BO, in FIG. 2 is a front view of the BO, in FIG. 3 is a rear view, in FIG. 4 is a side view of the PU removed into the shaft; in FIG. 5 side view, PU raised to the fighting position.

The fighting compartment of the armored object includes a turret 1 with an automatic cannon 2 and a coaxial machine gun 3 mounted in a rotating mask 4. An automatic grenade launcher ballistic that provides firing with high-explosive shells and armor-piercing-projectile shells. PU ATGMs 5 and 6 are fixed on the sides of the tower 1. The AP 7 ammunition loading hatch, the AP 8 maintenance hatch, the machine gun power supply service hatch 9 and the PU 10 shaft armor cover are installed on the tower roof. The hatch 20 is made in the rear of the tower in the rear wall. providing loading cartridge belts in the machine gun store. To the right in the direction of shooting is the sight of the commander 11, to the left is the sight of the operator 12. To the right and left on the sides of the tower and in its aft part are the PU SPZ 13, designed to launch smoke grenades to mask a combat vehicle. Antenna input 14 was made in the aft of the tower 14. In the fore and aft parts of the tower are indicators of laser radiation SPZ 15.

To the left in the direction of fire in the aft of the turret is a mine 16 in which a small caliber launcher 17 is installed, compared with an ATGM. In the stowed position, the mine with the missile launcher is closed by armor caps 10. For transfer to the combat position, the launcher is turned on and with the help of a lifting mechanism the launcher is lifted from the mine and mounted on the firing line. Shooting is conducted on lightly armored targets with guided missiles.

The machine gun 3 is mounted outside the tower and is covered with a dust cover 18. The machine gun is pumped in the vertical plane with the mask 4. The shells and cartridge strip remain outside the tower after firing, as a result of which the sleeve bends and sleeve baffle are not required.

To the right in the direction of fire, an air intake window 19 of the air supply system of the engine of the combat vehicle was made. Air through the window enters the fighting compartment and then through the internal cavity of the epaulet 21 enters the air intake pipe of the engine. Since the air intake window is located in the roof of the tower, in the upper part of the combat vehicle, water when the vehicle is immersed in a pond and afloat does not get into the engine.

Thus, the proposed technical solution allowed to increase the combat and operational characteristics of light weight combat vehicles.
