Claims35
A device for deploying ammunition, wherein a recess (2) in the body shell (1) of a mobile object provided for ammunition depoyment is covered by a cover arrangement (4), that reduces a radar signature caused by this recess (2) and having a negative effect is diminished.
3 The device according to claim 2, wherein the launcher has at least one discharge tube (3).
The device according to claim 3, wherein the launcher is located at a distance of 0-20 cm from the body shell of the object.
The device according to claim 3, wherein the discharge tube (3) is arranged on the inside of the body shell (1), so that loading of the launcher tube (3) is possible from the inside.
The device according to claim 3, wherein the discharge tube (3) is accommodated in a launcher housing (6).
Method for enhancing the radar camouflage of a mobile object, wherein all of the recesses (2) in the body shell (1) of the object for the deployment of ammunition are covered by reversible covers (4), reducing a negative effect of the radar signature caused by the recesses (2).
