In order to provide an economical method for producing a weapon barrel, in which a considerable plasticisation of the barrel inner wall and thus of the twist profile is avoided when armour-piercing ammunition is shot, in particular in the case of an intense firing sequence, it is proposed not to introduce the twist profile of the weapon barrel into a barrel blank, the material of which has its end strength already as a result of hardening and tempering, but has a lower strength level (approximately 800-1000 MPa). Only once the twist profile has been formed by extrusion or hammering is the steel hardened and tempered to a predefined strength value > 1000 MPa, and is the barrel blank that is provided with the twist profile mechanically processed further.

The invention relates to a method and a device (1) for the optical target tracking of a target object (5) which can be irradiated with a high-energy laser (2), the target object (5) being illuminated with an illumination laser (6). In order to make it possible to precisely align the laser beam (4) of the high-energy laser (2) with the target object (5) even if flames and/or smoke triggered by the laser beam (4) develop on the target object (5) or said object is self-luminous (interference), the invention proposes differential image determination. To this end, two camera images of the target object (5) are synchronously captured and stored with the same exposure time in different wavelength ranges, in each case using a separate camera (14, 15), the first wavelength range being selected such that the radiation of the illumination laser (6) can be measured. The second wavelength range is slightly offset from the first wavelength range such that the interference caused by the irradiation with the high-energy laser (2) is measured instead of the radiation of the illumination laser (6) itself. If the second camera image is now electronically subtracted from the first camera image, a differential image is produced comprising a target object freed from the interference.

MUNITION AND LOGISTICS CONCEPT FOR, IN PARTICULAR, ARTILLERY PROJECTILES
The invention proposes the use of a uniform projectile casing (1) which is utilized for projectiles (40-45) with different ranges. A projectile (40, 42, 44) of relatively short range can in this case be optimized with regard to payload, whereas a projectile (41, 43, 45) with the relatively long range is subjected to a range optimization, with a reduction in payload. The payload of a projectile (41, 43, 45) of relatively long range is generally lower in relation to a projectile (40, 42, 44) with relatively short range. The artillery projectiles (40-45) have a projectile casing (1) of equal size for the projectiles of different range. That is to say, to create an artillery projectile (40, 42, 44), for example 155 mm, a uniform payload-optimized 30 km projectile casing (1) is used, from which 40 km projectiles (41, 43, 45) can be generated (produced, assembled) by means of a reduction in payload. The range is selected and defined by means of mutually different projectile bases (11, 21). The artillery projectile is composed of multiple modular parts which are assembled in order to create the artillery projectile.

The invention proposes a protection and defence system (1) for an infrastructure (100) against a threat approaching the infrastructure (100), comprising at least one effector (2). When a threat is determined, the at least one effector (2) dispenses a non-lethal countermeasure which damages the threat and thus causes its crash. Vision and target tracking means, such as at least a camera and tracker (3), and at least one directing/actuating drive (4) are allocated to the effector (2) or effectors (21-n). The effector(s) (2) and the vision and target tracking means thereof are supported by a modular platform which can be fixedly installed to/on various infrastructures (100), can be removed therefrom and be used in a mobile mode. In addition, the platforms comprise a sensor that detects the spatial position of the effectors (2, 21-n).
A mount part (3) for a weapon barrel (1) in a weapon barrel holder (2) is proposed, having a tubular inner diameter which comprises a first section (3.1) and an encircling ring-shaped second section (3.2) which is of greater outer diameter than the first section (3.1) and than a following third section (3.3). The third section (3.3) has at least one slot (6). The at least one slot (6) runs preferably perpendicular to the second section (3.2). In a particular usage situation, the ring-shaped section (3.2) has circumferential bevels (3.4). This permits usage in a barrel mounting (21) of a multi-barrelled weapon (20) having multiple weapon barrels (1) mounted in a common barrel mounting (21).
For an externally powered weapon (10), in particular a machine weapon and a machine gun, comprising at least one barrel (1), a recoil intensifier (2) at the front end (3) of the barrel (1, 1’, 1”) is proposed to intensify a weapon return of the returning masses of the weapon (10) and to generate and intensify a signal for monitoring, in particular functionally monitoring, the weapon (10). The recoil intensifier (2) is of a flared form. The signal intensified by the intensification is used for example for counting the number of shots fired, initiating an emergency stop function, etc. Depending on the further use, the mechanically intensified signal may be converted into an electrical signal.

The aim of the invention is to devise a weapon (100) which has a completely modular design. For this purpose, the weapon (100) is subdivided into weapon-specific assemblies which are designed as carrier units of the components and/or of the modular assemblies of the weapon (100). A first assembly can be in the form of a modular weapon housing (3). Said weapon housing (3) consists of a carrier unit into which a breech system of the weapon (100) and its components are installed. Another modular assembly is in the form of a weapon cradle (2). The weapon housing (3) module with the breech system is integrated into said modular assembly. The weapon housing (3) module can be complemented with the barrel module. Another modular assembly, a weapon drive (1), is connected to the weapon cradle (2). The components are mechanically connected to the modular assemblies, and the modular assemblies are mechanically connected to each other, by rails and guides (15.1, 21.1) as well as complementary rails and guides (3.1, 3.2) for the assemblies (3), by ties (31) and holders (33), by pins (33, 34), bolts (31.1, 2.6) and quick release fasteners (22,.2).

WEAPON DRIVE AND WEAPON DRIVE WITH AN EMERGENCY WEAPON STOP
A drive (10) for a weapon (100) is proposed, comprising a drive cam (1) and a connecting rod unit (2) guided in the drive cam (1), wherein the drive cam (1) comprises the firing cycle of the weapon (10). Apart from a connecting rod (2.1), the connecting rod unit (2) comprises a front pin (2.2) and a rear pin (2.3), a strut pin (2.3). With its front pin (2.2), the connecting rod unit (2) engages in the drive cam (1). The front pin (2.2) is also connected to a crank (3), which is driven by an external drive (4). The strut pin (2.3) is connected to an overall control slider (12) of a breech block (11) of the weapon (10). A connecting rod slider (2.6) of the connecting rod unit (2) has a groove (2.5), in which the strut pin (2.3) is guided, wherein the connecting rod (2.1) is articulated at a pivot point (2.4), which lies behind the strut pin (2.3), and so, when the breech block (11) is at a standstill, the strut pin (2.3) is pivoted in the groove (2.5) in the connecting rod unit (2) and in the overall control slider (12). An emergency stop device (20) is formed by a kinematic mechanism (23), which when a shot is fired makes a pin (21) extend and ensures that the overall control slider (12) is taken along. If, on the other hand, no shot is fired, the pin (21) is not made to extend and the overall control slider (12) is not moved. Parts of the drive (100) may in this case continue to run.
The invention relates to an emergency stop device (20) for a weapon (100) with a drive (10) for transporting a breech block (11) of the weapon (10). The emergency stop device (20) is made of at least one kinematik system (23) which comprises at least one guide (23.1), at least one connecting rod (23.2) guided in the guide, and at least one lever (23.3). When a shot is not being fired, the kinematic system (23) is deactivated. When a shot is being fired, the at least one guide (23.1) is moved rearwards, and the at least one connecting rod (23.2) is guided upwards along the guide (23.1) such that the lever (23.3) exerts a lever movement, by means of which the transport of the breech block (11) is made possible. The weapon (100) drive (10) according to the invention has a complete control slide (12) for transporting the breech block (11) of the weapon (100), said complete control slide preferably having a stationary nose (12.1) on the lower face and a movable transverse slide (22). A bolt (21) is laterally embedded in the transverse slide (22), said bolt being integrated below the complete control slide (12) of the drive (10) in a movable manner in the slide. When the bolt (21) is actuated, the breech block (11) can be transported. However, if the bolt (21) remains in its original position, the breech block (11) remains in its front position.
