The programming system is directly implemented inside a firearm 1, including at least one firearm-control unit 2, adapted to control all the systems implemented in the firearm 1. The electronic programming system includes at least one actuation mechanism 4, adapted to provide an electrical coupling between the detonating fuse and the programming system, and a programmer-control device 3, which, via appropriate interfaces, manages the data flows for communication both with the detonating fuse and with firearm-control unit 2.

Abstract: A vehicle provided with a revolving turret includes an armor-plated cockpit (2), a system for the motion of the central revolving turret (4) upon which a main armament (5) can be mounted. The turret is connected to the armor-plated cockpit of the vehicle of a circumferential fifth-wheel (8) which allows the revolving of the turret around a substantially vertical axis which passes through the center of the fifth-wheel. The base (9) of the turret presents a hatch (10) for communication between the interior of the turret and the interior of the cockpit (2) of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system communicates data to a detonating fuse (3) of a projectile (P) of a firearm, and sends the data to a processing unit, inserted in the fuse. The projectile is of the under-caliber type with respect to the size of the barrel for which, in order to correctly insert the projectile in the same, an adaptor is used, formed by a capsule (2) fitting on the projectile, having an outer diameter which substantially corresponds to that of the barrel.

Abstract: A mechanical work sampling system (10) is for the operation of extensions articulated in vehicular applications. The system is susceptible of being applied on a tracked vehicle (30) and includes at least a supporting arm (40) and a secondary track (22; 23) associated to the supporting arm. The supporting arm (40) is configurable in rotation configuration within which it rotates with respect to a first end (41) through a sampling of work from the main propulsor of the tracked vehicle (30).

Abstract: An armed vehicle (10) with improved structure includes a hull (11), which, in use, is suited to house one or more men, devices for the movement on the ground, and an armed turret (30), which is positioned on top of an upper part of the hull (11). The armed vehicle (10) includes an interface structural element (11s), which is cold-added; the interface structural element (11s) constitutes an interface element between the hull (11) and the armed turret (30).

Abstract: A tracked system (10) with variable geometry includes a track (11), which has a portion (11p) having a respective first area (a1), the portion (11p) being, in use, in contact with the ground or the road surface. At least one driving wheel (12) is coupled to the track (11) and is suited to provide a driving force for the rotation of the track (11). At least one driven wheel (13) is coupled to the track (11).
