This endless chain enables transport of the ammunition (5) around the radii (R) of the turret (1).

Abstract: A payload is housed in a deliverable body of a device, such as in a projectile, and this device is delivered as close as possible to a target. At the landing point, a drive system of the body is activated to take the payload directly to the target. The target is described by target coordinates, for example, which are programmed into the device before it is launched. The device itself can be steered or unsteered. The drive system installed on the body or formed by the body is variable and should occupy a minimum of space.

Abstract: A vehicle with protection against the effects of an exploding land mine is provided, in which a military wheeled vehicle is provided with wheel axels and drives built into front and/or rear building blocks. The vehicle is divided into multiple building blocks, although a three block construction is desirable (i.e., a front building block, a rear building block, and a main building block). A residual mobility of a remaining portion of the vehicle is preserved, even though one of the front building block or the rear building block is separated from the main building block due to the explosive shock wave generated by driving over and detonating a land mine, because each of the front building block and the rear building block has a drive for rotating the wheel axel connected to the block.

Abstract: The invention is an easily maneuverable vehicle that can travel in a convoy at full speed, but also fulfills the task of mine-clearing at the site. To this end, a conventional carrier vehicle, for example a truck crane chassis, is provided with at least one front module and at least one rear module that are tilted or folded up when in the driving position. In the working position, i.e., in the triggering mode, the entire weight of the vehicle is then used to generate the ground pressure. For this purpose the vehicle is raised via the modules so that the dead weight of the carrier vehicle is displaced onto the modules for clearing, and is conducted by the modules over the area to be cleared.

Abstract: The invention is based on the concept of providing a digital data transmission of the fuze-timing data into a fuze-timable ammunition unit, for example with an HDB-3 (High-Density Bipolar) transmission code and voltage modulation. As is known from asynchronous data transmission, a start byte and a stop byte are respectively positioned in front of and behind the HDB-3 code, and are therefore components of thee fuze-timing data. The fuze-timing time is transmitted numerically as a data byte between the start and stop bytes. Accordingly, the ammunition unit (3) includes fuze-timing electronics (4), which comprise a (voltage) demodulator (30), a (current) modulator (31) and a microprocessor (32) having an RC-oscillator cycle counter (32.1), an RC oscillator (33), a fuze-timing counter (34) and an actuator end stage (36). A firing sensor (35) serves as the fuze-timing-time triggering element at the start of the flight phase.
