Abstract: RCWS (Remote Controlled Weapon System or Station) of the deck-penetrator type and a method for protected reloading of a weapon system that is fed by belt of rounds from an ammunition container that is positioned in the RCWS, wherein the RWCS includes a system for protected reloading of the weapons system, that comprises—a bracket, that on it the ammunition container is mounted, and the bracket is amenable to be propelled via an opening in the deck of the vehicle upon which the RCWS is positioned, unto an inner space of the carrier vehicle and back from this space to the RCWS; and means for movably positioning the bracket, in at least two states—a first state wherein the bracket is positioned inside the inner space of the carrier vehicle and for reloading anew the weapons system; and a second state wherein the bracket is a least substantially embedded in the RCWS for feeding the weapons system by a belt of rounds from inside of the ammunition container that is positioned on the bracket.

Abstract: A turret assembly without deck penetration for minimizing exposure of combatants to enemy forces when accessing above deck equipment comprises a base plate on top of which is mounted at least one finable and remotely operable combatant interfaceable implement, the base plate being rotatable about a substantially vertical axis and supported for rotation by bearing means mounted within a deck of a military facility; a hatch displaceably connected to the base plate, for normally covering a hatchway formed in said base plate and for exposing said hatchway when displaced; and a rotatable disc of a slip ring unit carried by the hatch, by which electricity for operating equipment mounted on top of the deck and for initiating control signals is transmitted to the equipment.

Abstract: A folding weapon mount installed on the deck of a carrier vehicle. In one folding configuration the profile of the vehicle, mount and mounted weapon is lowest with respect to the profile obtained in an upright configuration. The folding is achieved by the rotation of a threaded shaft which changes the distance between two parallel lower axes. Appropriate legs pivotally respectively connect each lower axis to one parallel upper axis serving also as a weapon bearing cross bar.

Abstract: A system for enhancing targets follow-up by a gunner of an automatic grenade launcher (AGL). After aiming the sight at the target and measuring range to it, the liner lock fixing the sight to the cradle mount is disengaged. The AGL is subsequently free to accept a superelevation inclination angle while the sight remains aligned with the target. Simultaneously, the sight is fixed vertically to the system mount by a temporary engagement of a mount-brake. The AGL elevation angle is applied by motor automatically as a function of the said measured range.
