Abstract: The invention relates to a container for propellant charge modules to be loaded into a weapon using conveyance means. It comprises protection means insulating said modules from the conveyance means, constituted by a rigid tubular body, a sheath intended to receive the modules and means to block the modules in the sheath. The sheath is made of a deformable material. The blocking means ensure the deformation of the sheath to immobilize the modules. Application to charge module conveyance.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic loading process and system for a large-caliber weapon mounted on a ship and firing ammunition, constituted by charges and projectiles, at a high rate of fire. The system comprises means allowing at least three isolated areas to be defined for the circulation of the ammunition, a first area in which the charges and projectiles and received and introduced into containers and a second area in which these containers are transferred into an intermediate magazine arranged between the weapon and the first area, and a third area where the weapon is actually loaded with the projectiles and charges, all of these areas being isolated from one another by resistant walls defining hatches providing a passage, and it comprises means to transfer the containers from the first area to the turret then the projectiles and charges into the weapon. Application to artillery mounted on a ship.

Abstract: The invention relates to a loading device for a medium or large caliber weapon supplied with rounds constituted by a projectile and modular charges. It comprises means to receive a projectile and modular charges, a vehicle incorporating at least two housings and suitable support means to allow the vehicle to move from a starting replenishing position to a final weapon loading position in which the projectile housing then the modular charge housing are successively brought into said position. The support means are constituted by a cage having two sides between which the vehicle travels. The vehicle is constituted by a slide and a drum provided with housings at its parallel edges each intended to receive a container. Application of 155 mm 52 caliber weapons.
