  • Patent number: 8245624
    Abstract: A Decoupled Elevation, Automatic Drift Correction (DEADCo) Multiple Weapon System is provided for concurrently engaging line-of-sight and indirect-fire weapons against a target. The DEADCo system includes a turret structure, a first cradle and a second cradle. The turret structure is mountable to a vehicle and rotatable in yaw on a turret training drive. The first cradle is mountable to the turret structure. The first cradle has a fire control system, and a first elevation drive rotatable in pitch on which to pivotably mount the line-of-sight weapon. The fire control system relays pointer commands to the first elevation drive. The second cradle is mountable to the turret structure. The second cradle includes a drift correction drive rotatable in yaw and a second elevation drive rotatable in pitch. The fire control system relays the pointer commands to the drift correction and second elevation drives that compensate for drift.
