  • Patent number: 4693182
    Abstract: An ammunition unit (1) comprising a shaped-charge warhead which can be ignited by means of direct impact on a target (15), by means of a proximity fuze (16,17) and/or an external signal (29). The warhead has preferably an inclined position so that its longitudinal axis (5,5') is forming an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis (1b) of the unit. The warhead (4,4') is tiltable in the unit from said initial position into another inclined position depending on the type of ignition. In case of an overflying missile its warhead is directed towards the rear parts of a target, i.e. on the other side of the target seen from the direction of the flight.

  • Patent number: 4420167
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an assembly for stabilizing a vehicle supported on at least three pairs of wheels or tracks, wherein various pairs of wheels are selectively connected to one another in bogie style so as to reduce tipping movement of the vehicle chassis as the wheels travel over uneven terrain. A second embodiment of the invention discloses means to control the bogies with respect to their direction of rotative movement. Fluid damping means are provided for some or all of the wheels. These damping means are interconnected with longitudinal and diagonal conduits, with pumps and valves placed to control the movement of the fluid medium between the respective damping means.

  • Patent number: 4358984
    Abstract: In a combat vehicle with a gun barrel extending outside the vehicle a screen for protection against impact-fuzed ammunition is arranged. The protective screen is then arranged to cause the ammunition to be initiated at a distance from the vehicle chassis and to permit certain visibility being maintained from the vehicle for preparedness for firing and for observation.

  • Patent number: 4335795
    Abstract: In a vehicle, driving controls are utilized for control of throttle, brakes, and equipment which control a difference in speed between the drive wheels or track units of the vehicle. The driving controls comprise two foot pedals which can be actuated individually, and a differential unit which can be controlled by these. Via two means from the differential unit, a sum signal and a difference signal, respectively, is obtained from the actuation situation of the foot pedals. The acceleration and braking force is controlled with the sum signal, and the difference in speed between the drive means of the vehicle is determined by the difference signal.
