Abstract: A retractable turret rotatable on a platform, including an active system orientable in vertically extendable elevation, and in azimuth, a protective cowling for the active system and for closing a caisson, wherein the turret includes, for vertically extendable deployment and rotation of the active system, first and second arms forming a deformable quadrilateral on either side of the active system, a first manual means for controlling deployment of the active system by activating the first arm, and a second manual means for controlling the orientation in vertically extended elevation and in horizontal azimuth of the active system by moving the second arm.

Abstract: A firing device for close-in defense ammunition, ammunition incorporating a rigid casing enclosing at least one projectile, casing integral with a base that can be joined by linking means to a firing device base incorporating means to prime the ammunition, device wherein it incorporates a tube capping the ammunition after this ammunition has been fixed onto the firing base, such tube that is itself made integral with the firing base by attachment means, such tube further carrying an articulated bipod enabling the orientation in elevation of the device.

Abstract: A retractable light turret mounted in a platform, a firing device that can be deployed through an opening in a protective cowling for ensuring the closing of the opening, and elevation and azimuth aiming devices for the firing device, wherein the protective cowling has, on its external face, a close-in defense device, and at least one observation device coupled with a display device arranged inside the platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to firing brake assembly for weapons of the type incorporating an actual firing brake and means to modulate the function of said firing brake wherein the modulating means are in the form of a chamber equipped with a piston delimiting an upstream chamber and a downstream chamber, the upstream chamber communicating with the gun barrel by means of an upstream circuit ensuring that part of the combustion gases are taken up and a downstream chamber filled with a fluid and communicating with the firing brake by means of a downstream circuit.

Abstract: A retractable light turret mounted on a platform, comprising firing means that can be deployed through an opening, a protective cowling ensuring the closing of the opening and elevation and azimuth aiming means for the firing means, wherein said protective cowling has, on its external face, firstly close-in defence means and secondly at least one observation means coupled with display means arranged inside said platform.
