PCT No. PCT/SE97/02008 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 11, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 11, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 1, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/25096 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 11, 1998The present invention relates to a method and a device for artillery guns with fully or semi-automatic loading systems for stowing, handling and, prior to loading the gun in question, for preparing complete propellant charges consisting of modular charges of M(A)CS type, i.e. such complete charges that consist of a number of mutually combinable modular charges which, as they may contain different types of propellant and may be of different standardized lengths can be of different strengths, and which all have a primarily rigid combustible outer casing and where each one incorporates the necessary ignition system. As claimed in the present invention each modular charge is stowed linearly after the other in magazine tubes (4) arranged compactly in parallel on top of and beside each other, each one containing a number of a modular charges of a specific type. A pre-determined number of modular charges can then be retrieved from any freely elective magazine tube by a designated manipulator (7-10, 23, 35) that can retrieve modular charges from any commanded magazine tube (4). The manipulator subsequently deposits the modular charges into the loading tray or loading pendulum (11, 27, 42). |
