摘要:
An elevating assembly that includes an elevating strut that is manipulated mechanically between a first retracted configuration and a second extended configuration for moving the gun. An internal chamber can be defined within the elevating strut for compressible fluid. A pressure of the compressible fluid within the elevating strut can be tuned and maintained in order to reduce the weight of the gun overcome by the elevating strut during the manipulation.

A hydraulic turret weapon system for armed vehicles that includes a turret and a weapon on the turret adapted to be independently directed at a target. A hydraulic drive includes a pair of hydraulic motors for moving the turret and weapon respectively. The motors are connected in parallel with each other to a pressure compensated pump and to a fluid reservoir. A pair of pressure sensors are respectively connected to the inlets and outlets of the parallel motors, and provide electrical signals as a function of hydraulic fluid pressure. An electronic controller is responsive to the pressure sensor signals, and to turret and weapon command signals, for generating directive signals to control motion at the turret and weapon motors individually. Velocities at the hydraulic motors are controllable both independently and conjointly.

A hydraulic control and driving apparatus for a self-propelled artillery piece includes hydrostatic transmissions for the driving wheels which are driven by hydraulic motors and variable displacement hydraulic pumps. The apparatus includes means for training, elevating and firing the artillery piece by diverting hydraulic fluid from one main pump to the appropriate control elements.

A depression gun pod for detachable connection to an aircraft stores suspension rack, the pod having a gun and having a gun mount providing for depression of the gun in elevation and for limited azimuth movement; the mount utilizing a plurality of planar frame-like members which are disposed in a compact configuration within the pod when the gun is in a forward firing position and which rigidly support the gun as it moves in depression and azimuth.
