Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8500217A1] A lightweight military vehicle (12) is provided with an unmanned turret (10) for interchangeably supporting large weapon (14) stations. Elastomer (48) filled stanchions (32-38) connected to a turret platform (30) serve to isolate weapon (14) impulse forces from the vehicle (12) frame. Driver, commander and gunner seats (16, 18, 20) are located externally to the turret (10) and provided with side doors (22-28) to enable quick exiting. Both powered (70) and manual (98) backup drives are external to the rotating turret disk (76) and are accessible from the gunner's seat. The elevation drive employs a ball and socket joint (68) connecting an upper yoke (64) mounted to the weapon (14) with a fixed lower portion (66) controlling vertical movement of the yoke (64) and thereby the elevation of the gun (14).
