Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019201518A1] The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a tank, comprising a turret (1), in particular a tank turret, on which a gun (2) having a large-calibre gun barrel (3) is secured, and comprising an auto-loader (50) positioned behind the turret (1), by means of which auto-loader ammunition (5) can be automatically supplied to the gun barrel (3). In order to achieve simplified automatic loading of the gun barrel (3) with ammunition (5) in comparison to known vehicles, without impairing the survival capabilities of the crew as a result, according to the invention the auto-loader (50) is replaceably secured on the outside of the turret (1) as a separate, modular unit. For rapid deployment, a magazine (8) located in the auto-loader (50) for receiving the ammunition (5) can also be designed as an interchangeable magazine that can be replaced. An electronic system (24) of the auto-loader (50) is housed in the vehicle, specifically in the turret (1). The selection of ammunition in the auto-loader (50) and the conveying of the ammunition (5) out of the auto-loader (50) are carried out via at least one mechanical interface (25), e.g. a power take-off, between the turret (1) and the auto-loader (50).
