2 Description Combat vehicle in modular design with escape cabin

The modules are equipped with sensors that can identify approaching missiles/aircraft within a radius of approx. 200m based on the threat (launch point and angle), as well as hit by the tank based on its expected effect on the module (e.g. escape cabin), calculate

01· above sensors control the module integrated

Fuel injection in the direction *X lY *Z so that the vehicle detaches itself from its position in the tank in the direction -X or + Y in an "escape route procedure" determined by an on-board computer and takes up a new (free) position.

This will result in the projectile either flying through the tank or hitting a spot where there is no danger to personnel or no damage to supply systems (modes 1-5). If the projectile hits the ^armoured escape cabin or one of the armoured modules , the explosion source will hardly penetrate the module as it is accelerated out at or in the explosion source, i.e. new material is constantly being fed into it, e.g. a shielding rod.

The gunner and commander sit in shock-absorbing seats in a semi-reclining position in the battle tank or in the passenger compartment with appropriate viewing devices below the ceiling.

The "escape cabin" could also be equipped with autonomous survival systems (including auxiliary weapons) to enable limited survival on the battlefield until the passenger compartment is taken over by auxiliary vehicles or the crew abandons it.

Easy maintenance of materials as the passenger compartment with the most important electronic equipment can be reintegrated into other combat vehicles.

Module 17 (flight cabin with gunner and commander in semi-reclining position) is equipped with the most important devices

-ASC protective devices

-On-board electronics * On-board computer

-Radio system

-Electronics of tracking systems and sensors

and if necessary (total loss) the Bjt Buster can be completely detached from the battle tank, i.e. the line is cut off (hard) at a distance of approx. 3a at a point where it has no effect.

In addition, the movable modular design allows the color and contours of a tank to be adapted to the environment, i.e. various camouflage-colored modules are continuously moved according to the background.

According to the current state of technology, I cannot completely rule out that two battle tanks will be able to penetrate the armor after one hit.

The further development of the Kaapfpanzer will probably take place in the
In the future, this will lead to fully electronic control of all systems, including fully electronic control and steering of the tank.

This expected development will facilitate the realization of a
Combat vehicle in modular design with a
fully enclosed driver/commander safety cabin with
corresponding interfaces or connectors to the other
"Systems ia Kaapfpanzer.

In addition, the modular design enables a battle tank whose

supporting structure^does not consist of a tub^but of a

supporting tubular framework.

This will support the development of significantly reducing the overall weight (or increasing the unarmored volume) and thus the introduction of a wheeled rather than tracked battle tank.
