With an appropriate battery capacity, the air start unit can also supply power consumer of these aircraft and other flying machines via the power supply.

Abstract: A vehicle system having a driving module, at least one mission module and at least one container. The driving module has a receptacle which can receive at least one aforementioned mission module. As a result of the receiving possibility, various mission modules can be received, depending on requirement. Thus, the mission is built up modularly in the same driving module. The container is configured to be box-shaped and closed on all sides by walls, with the exception of the top. Furthermore, the mission module is configured to be open on all sides, with the exception of the top, and the top of the mission module is designed to be closed by a wall. As a result, a modular mission module is produced, which can optionally be received in a container or in the receptacle in the driving module.

Abstract: A vehicle having a chassis and at least one add-on system. The add-on system is arranged on the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one movable wall and/or panel is arranged on the vehicle. In this case the add-on system as well as the movable wall and/or panel can assume an operating position and a rest position, wherein in the rest position the add-on system is completely concealed by the movable wall and/or panel. In the rest position the movable wall and/or panel is inserted into the contour of the vehicle in such a way that a continuously closed contour is present on the vehicle.

Abstract: A device for a ventilation system. An air-conditioning unit comprising a rear wall is arranged such that it is oriented, with the rear wall thereof, towards the module or space to be ventilated such that it is to be reached from said module or space. An interface for air output is arranged on the rear wall, said interface being divided into a plurality of air output points. Said air output points are arranged in different positions on the rear wall. Since all of the air output points do not need to be used, a controller for controlling the air output, which can prevent or enable the air output at the air output points, are associated with the air output points.

Abstract: A device for damping vibrations acting on a tracked vehicle is provided, which has a front and rear track roller. Torsion springs are mounted along a vehicle pan. Alternatively, the torsion springs can be subdivided into smaller torsion springs. For the immediate track rollers, a further device is provided in which the long torsion springs which hitherto absorbed the torsion are divided into a plurality of smaller torsion springs and mounted not transversely with respect to the vehicle pan, but in a direction of travel with respect thereto. The torsion springs are functionally connected to one another via drive and/or transmission elements, and are accommodated outside an interior space. In this way, no further installation space is required transversely with respect to and below the vehicle pan, at most in the side region or within a small recess in the pan, a so-called pan niche.

Abstract: A weapon system includes a carrier vehicle and a vehicle dependent mortar, wherein the carrier vehicle has a crew space and a weaponry space to house the mortar, and the mortar is charged in an index position with mortar grenades, with several sheddable propellant modules on the tail shaft thereof. The weapon system avoids manual loading of the mortar with mortar grenades because an automatic loader is arranged in a weapon space separated from the crew space by a separating wall. The loader transports the mortar grenade from a magazine in the weapon space into the index position of the barrel of the mortar and axially inserts it into the mouth of the barrel, and an automatic shedding device is arranged in the weapon space to automatically remove unnecessary propellant modules from the mortar grenade after fixing target parameters and before insertion of the mortar grenade into the barrel.

Abstract: A device for damping vibrations acting upon a track vehicle is provided. Long torsion bar springs which so far have been used to absorb torsion are subdivided into a plurality of small torsion bar springs. The torsion bar springs are operationally interconnected via drive or transmission elements and accommodated outside the interior, thereby removing the need for installation space for the damping device at a right angle to and below the vehicle chassis, and reducing it to the lateral zone or inside a minor recess in the chassis, a so-called chassis recess.

Abstract: The invention embodies the turret (10) as a protected cell (1) with its own protective plates (7) and then provides this with an additional casing of protective plates (9) so that both together implement a modular protective construction with different levels of protection. Outside the protected cell (1), assemblies (2) can be arranged that do not need to be within the direct reach of the operator. This can be in addition to the ammunition, the electronics for the ammunition feed, and also the electronics of the turret control or the like. These assemblies (2) are again encased by a lattice structure (8) that serves as an accommodation possibility for other protective elements (9) that form the outer skin of the turret (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand grenade (1) with an active body (3) containing an active charge (2), and with an ignition device (4) that acts on a detonator (12) to ignite the active charge (2). In order to achieve this feature, after the hand grenade (1) has been thrown the ignition can be triggered without delay if the tactical situation requires it, and no danger arises for the shooter if the hand grenade (1) with the safety device released is dropped accidentally. The invention pertains to an electronic ignition system composed of an ignition trigger (6) and a fuze (8) used as the ignition device (4), whereby the ignition trigger (6) remains with the shooter when the hand grenade (1) is thrown and the hand grenade (1) can be ignited by wireless only when the shooter activates an ignition trigger element (11) of the ignition trigger (6).

Abstract: A blocking system or blocking body (1) is provided that is composed of at least four means or members (2) that have a common base (3) and in the transport state are pivoted upwards so that the tips (2.1) of all means (2) lie in one plane, wherein the means (2) in the active state are orientated in such a way that at least three tips (2.1) form contact points (9) on a surface (8) and at least the fourth means (2) pointing upwards penetrates one of the wheels when it is run over. This type of crow's foot (blocking body (1)) can be delivered by means of a thrower or by depositing it into the terrain in which the vehicles are situated, and whose continued travel is to be prevented.

Abstract: According to the invention, inflatable buoyancy bodies are kept in storage housings on the outside of a vehicle. During normal use, buoyancy bodies are folded up and stored under covers. Only when the vehicle is on water do the covers open and buoyancy bodies fill with air. An on-board compressed air system supplies air for filling buoyancy bodies so that air, which is not required by a braking installation or the like of the vehicle, is used to fill the buoyancy bodies. The additional use of outside air enables more air to be supplied to the buoyancy bodies at a low pressure than the sole use of the on-board compressed air system. In order to empty the buoyancy bodies, a vacuum is generated in connection lines. When stop cocks are open, air is sucked out of the buoyancy bodies, which then fold up and the covers are closed and locked.
