MULTIPLE-BARREL MORTAR ASSEMBLY FOR LAUNCHING GRENADES OFF THE SIDE OF A COMBAT VEHICLE

摘要

A multiple-barrel mortar assembly for launching grenades and similar items and mounted on the side of a combat vehicle. Several modules that can rotate in azimuth are mounted in a mount (17). Each mount is provided with a barrel (12.1) accommodated in a block (11.1). Each barrel extends at a prescribed acute angle to the base of the block (11.1). The angle establishes the assembly's elevation. Each block (11.1) is secured in a frame (13.1). The frame (13.1) can rotate around an axis perpendicular to the base of the block. A drive mechanism (19) can rotate all the frames simultaneously through a prescribed range of angles around the axis.
