Abstract (en)

The turret has an invariable rigid metal structural unit having a central position in the turret, where the structural unit is referred to as a standard shell unit (1) and provided with an interface unit. The standard shell unit is assembled to each of multiple interchangeable and removable modules via a screw and a nut, where the interface unit of the shell unit is designed such that different interchangeable and removable modules of the same functional type can be assembled to the standard shell unit. The modules are a gun unit, an interface module, a loading unit, a cabin unit, a secondary weapon, an optical system, a motorization unit, a shielding unit, a remote weapon station, a missile launcher system, and a grenade thrower system.
