Turret having a munition guidance device protection

Abstract

A turret includes a firearm, which is configured to shoot munitions. A support assembly supports the firearm and is configured to move the firearm about an azimuthal rotation or swiveling axis (Y) and about a zenithal rotation or elevation axis (X). A munition guidance device mounts on the support assembly and is configured to direct a precision-guided munition, which is shot by the firearm towards a target. A protection apparatus is mounted on the support assembly and is configured to assume: a covering condition, in which the protection apparatus hides the munition guidance device on the inside of the support assembly; and an opening condition, in which the protection apparatus exposes the munition guidance device on the outside of the support assembly.
