Improved armament system fitted with a shock-absorption device

摘要

The present invention relates to an armament system, of the type known per se, comprising an armament tube (78) and a fixed reference (80), the armament tube being guided in sliding with respect to the fixed reference and at least one shock-absorption device functionally interposed between the armament tube and the fixed reference, characterised in that the shock-absorption device (A) comprises at least one deformable structure designed to absorb at least a significant proportion of the mechanical recoil energy of the armament tube during the ejection of a projectile or missile, by converting this mechanical energy at least partly into heat energy. <IMAGE>
