Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment and can find application in objects of armored vehicles both on mobile tracked or wheeled chassis in the ground forces and the navy, and in stationary conditions for interspecific use.

The 152-mm howitzer 2S19 Msta-S is known (see the popular science magazine Technique and Weapons No. 6, 1996, page 29, publisher of AviaKosm JSC), which contains a chassis, a tower mounted on the pursuit of the chassis. The control department and the weapons department have a single working space and are located in the chassis and turret. In the bow of the chassis is the workplace of the driver, the rest of the crew are in the tower, where the main armament is installed.

In the specified device, the entire crew, five people, is in the fighting compartment, which is undesirable for his life. In a combat situation, when fired, part of the powder gases falls into the fighting compartment. If a shell hits, ammunition can explode. In addition, the conditions for crew interaction and the transfer of control functions from one to another are difficult.

The task to which the invention is directed is the creation of such a combat vehicle, the design and layout solution of which is most favorable for the life of the crew in combat conditions, without compromising performance characteristics. Moreover, the technical result of the invention consists in reducing the number and increasing crew survival.

The claimed technical result is achieved by the fact that in an object of armored vehicles containing a chassis, a turret mounted on a rotary support device of the chassis, with the main armament, the fire control system from it, the transportable ammunition and the crew’s workplaces,

- crew members workplaces are located in the control module armored with powerful protection and a complex of life protection aggregates,

- each of the crew member’s workplaces is equipped with a fire control and instrument control complex for performing all operations of an armored vehicle facility,

- the control module is installed in the nose of the chassis,

- the main armament and transportable ammunition are located in the weapon module lightly armored with anti-shatter screens and an easily removable roof,

- the weapon module is installed in the middle of the chassis,

- ammunition is made in the form of blocks of ammunition.

The arrangement of crew members' workplaces in an armored control module with powerful protection and a complex of life protection aggregates eliminates the ingress of powder gases from a shot. The crew is isolated from the weapon module, which ensures its protection in case of a possible explosion if it gets into the car.

Equipping each of the crew member’s workplaces with a fire control and instrumentation control system for performing all operations of an armored vehicle facility allows remote control of the weapon module’s combat operation, while monitoring all operations from the crew’s workplace. It is possible to transfer control from one crew member to another.

Installing a control module in the bow of the hull allows you to place the crew in the least dangerous place of the combat vehicle.

The location of the main armament and ammunition units in the weapon module lightly armored with anti-shatter screens and an easily removable roof allows the crew to avoid contact with armament and ammunition units. The lightly armored tower protects the equipment located inside from bullets, unauthorized access and damage. In an emergency, the blast wave is directed upward through the quick-release roof of the weapon module.

The implementation of ammunition in the form of blocks of ammunition allows you to automate the process of loading ammunition.

The modular solution of the armament and control departments as independent building units that perform a certain function allows to reduce the number and strengthen the protection of the crew, including from weapons of mass destruction, as well as improve the conditions of interaction and the crew’s working capacity.

The essence of the proposed solution is illustrated by drawings, where:

figure 1 is a General view with a local cutout of an object of armored vehicles;

figure 2 is a left view with a local section of the object of armored vehicles.

The object of armored vehicles, such as a self-propelled howitzer, is part of a self-propelled artillery complex, which also includes an armored ammunition carrier (not shown in the drawings).

The object of the armored vehicles contains the chassis 1 (Fig. 1), the weapon module 2 mounted on the pursuit 3 of the chassis 1, the main armament 4 (Fig. 2), the fire control complex 5, the power plant 6, the undercarriage 7, the transportable ammunition in the form of ammunition blocks 8 (figure 1), jobs 9 crew members (figure 2).

All jobs 9 crew members are located in a computerized control module 10, which is installed in the bow of the chassis 1. The crew, consisting of 2 people, exercises complete control over the loading, guidance and firing processes. The control module 10 is equipped with on-board tactical systems for target selection, positioning and navigation. According to the readings of instruments and sensors, the crew constantly monitors the general condition of the machine and the amount of ammunition by type of shots.

Each workplace of 9 crew members is equipped with a complex of remote control for automated fire 5 and instrument control of all operations on the displays of a single information-command system (EICS) (not shown in the drawings). Information and control channels of communication of crew workplaces in control module 10 with weapon module 2 are duplicated. The main crew hatches, an evacuation hatch from below, a technological hatch for transition to weapons module 2 (not shown in the drawings) are provided.

The control module 10 is made with powerful protection in the form of armor from fragments and 12.7 mm bullets with soft protective screens 11 inside and protection 12 from anti-bottom mines. The workplace 9 of the operator-commander is equipped with a remote turret with a 12.7 mm machine gun 13.

The complex of life protection aggregates 14 consists of a filter-ventilation unit with a CO filter and an autonomous power supply unit with air conditioning of the AP-24 type and is mounted on the wing flaps of the chassis.

In the middle part of the chassis 1, on a rotating pursuit 3, an armament module 2 is installed, in which the main armament 4 and portable ammunition are located in the form of ammunition blocks 8.

Weapon module 2 is a lightly armored turret with anti-fragmentation screens (not shown in the drawings), a machine 15 for placing the guns in the front, and a compartment with an easily removable roof 16 for placing an automated stacking unit 8 with transportable ammunition in the stern of the weapon module 2.

The device operates as follows.

The object of armored vehicles, such as self-propelled howitzer, goes to the firing position. Shooting from guns 4 is carried out after automatic guidance by the fire control complex 5 under the control of crew members from workplaces 9 on the EIKS displays. For this, ammunition is automatically fed from block 8 of the automated warheads to gun 4 over the entire range of guidance angles. The mechanisms in the weapon module 2 under the control of the automated fire remote control complex 5 from the control module 10 provide automatic selection of shells and charges. The complex of life protection aggregates 14 cleans the incoming air from the harmful effects of powder gases and weapons of mass destruction, fully provides comfortable conditions.

A feature of the self-propelled howitzer is a fully automated system for loading ammunition on board, loading and firing, providing a high rate of fire.

To replenish the self-propelled gun ammunition, an armored ammunition carrier is used, equipped with an automated subsystem for loading and moving ammunition, which allows the crew to reload all the necessary shots on board the self-propelled gun in a few minutes.

An example of a specific implementation.

At present, individual units have been manufactured that have passed stationary tests.
