Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine modulare Waffenstation dieser Art so aufzubauen, dass sie äußerst vielseitig einsetzbar ist und insbesondere auf Kampffahrzeugen sehr unterschiedlicher Bauart und zwar sowohl auf Radfahrzeugen als auch auf Kettenfahrzeugen angeordnet werden kann. Die Waffenstation sollte ein möglichst geringes Eigengewicht aufweisen und vor allem im Hinblick auf ihre Bauhöhe so dimensioniert sein, dass die Gesamtkontur eines Kampffahrzeugs, auf dem die Waffenstation angeordnet ist, vor allem im Hinblick auf die Höhe innerhalb der vorgeschriebenen Abmessungen bleibt, mit denen ein Transport des gesamten Kampffahrzeugs in Starrflüglern und Drehflüglern möglich ist.The invention is based on the object, a modular weapon station of this kind so that it is extremely versatile and in particular on combat vehicles very different design on both wheeled and on Tracked vehicles can be arranged. The weapon station should be one as possible have low weight and above all in terms of their height so be dimensioned that the overall contour of a combat vehicle on which the weapon station is arranged, especially in terms of height within the prescribed Dimensions remains, with which a transport of the entire combat vehicle in Fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft is possible.

Die Möglichkeit der Anordnung der modularen Waffenstation auf verschiedenen Typen von Kampffahrzeugen hat u.a. den Zweck, den Selbstschutz der Kampffahrzeuge im Nahbereich zu verstärken. Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, wenn Kampffahrzeuge eingesetzt werden, auf denen Flugabwehrsystemmodule angeordnet sind und die im allgemeinen nur eingeschränkte Möglichkeiten für den Selbstschutz aufweisen. Mit der modularen Waffenstation soll es ermöglicht werden, jeweils auf einigen derartiger Kampffahrzeuge anstelle eines Flugabwehrsystemmoduls die modulare Waffenstation anzuordnen, so dass diese Kampffahrzeuge dann den Selbstschutz übernehmen können.The possibility of arranging the modular weapon station on different types of combat vehicles has u.a. the purpose of self-protection of combat vehicles in the To reinforce close range. This is of particular importance when fighting vehicles can be used, on which anti-aircraft system modules are arranged and in general have limited opportunities for self-protection.
