  • ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND NEUTRALIZATION OF MENACES IN A PREDEFINED AREA
    Publication number: 20140104096
    Abstract: An electronic system for the identification and the neutralization of menaces in a predefined area includes radar detection including at least three discovery radars (R1,R2,R3) arranged on the vertices of a triangle at a predefined distance among them within the area to be protected. A processing electronic unit (CPU) receives from each of the discovery radars information related to the ballistic menace, for recognizing the ones deriving from the same menace, for each of them, through a triangulation algorithm, for identifying three-dimensional position and speed.

  • Handling system for a weapon placed on a turret
    Patent number: 8549980
    Abstract: A handling system is for a weapon (2) placed on a turret. The weapon is provided with a barrel (21) from which the bullets are shot and with a handle (22) through which the operator determines the traverse of the weapon. The weapon is mounted on a circumferential fifth wheel including a fixed portion (31) integral with the turret and a movable portion (32) on which the weapon is mounted, in order that the movable fifth wheel rotates on the fixed one, permitting the movement of the weapon along the circumference (C).
