A weapons platform including an undercarriage (11, 111) and a weapon (13, 113) that is positioned in a directable manner on the undercarriage (11, 111). The undercarriage (11, 111) may be supported in relation to the ground beneath by a supporting device (16, 116) that is damped in order to absorb firing recoil forces, the damping characteristics of the supporting device (16, 116) being adjustable in accordance with the firing recoil forces that are to be expected from the weapon (13, 113). The weapons platform (10, 110) may be mounted on a military vehicle (1). A method for operating such a weapons platform (10, 110) is also disclosed.
A weapons platform comprising an undercarriage (11, 111) and a weapon (13, 113) arranged in a directable manner with respect to the undercarriage (11, 111), wherein the undercarriage (11, 111) is supported with respect to the ground beneath by means of a supporting device (16, 116) of a damped design for absorbing firing reaction forces, characterized in that the damping characteristics of the supporting device (16, 116) are set in dependence on the firing reaction forces of the weapon (13, 113) that are to be expected.
A military vehicle comprising a weapons platform (10, 110) that includes an undercarriage (11, 111) and a weapon (13, 113) arranged in a directable manner with respect to the undercarriage (11, 111), wherein the undercarriage (11, 111) is supported with respect to the ground beneath by means of a supporting device (16, 116) of a damped design for absorbing firing reaction forces, characterized in that the damping characteristics of the supporting device (16, 116) are set in dependence on the firing reaction forces of the weapon (13, 113) that are to be expected.
A method for operating a weapons platform (10, 110) including an undercarriage (11, 111) and a weapon (13, 113) arranged in a directable manner with respect to the undercarriage (11, 111), wherein the undercarriage (11, 111) is supported with respect to the ground beneath by means of a supporting device (16, 116) of a damped design for absorbing firing reaction forces,
