A ball turret includes a turret shell having a rear portion and a front portion. An integrated GPS tracking device. The rear portion and the front portion are assembled to form the turret shell. The shell includes a block assembly configured to mount to a mounting element of a weapon system, and a yoke carriage assembly configured to receive and mount to the block assembly. A number of guide rods within the turret shell are configured to mount the yoke carriage assembly thereto and to provide a recoil shock absorber in response to a discharge of the weapon system. The yoke carriage assembly is releasably mounted to the block assembly.

A cap that is intended to obturate a duct for ejecting cartridges of a turret. This cap includes a circular base that is intended to allow it to be fastened to the duct, and a body shell having a spherical dome profile including a concave face and a convex face, the body shell being divided into at least four sectors by radial slits that are regularly distributed angularly, the sectors being contiguous pairwise. Another subject of the invention is a turret including a duct for ejecting cartridges equipped with such a cap.

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.

A modular turret for an armored vehicle includes: an invariable and unique basic structural unit configured to be interchangeable, called a standard shell, equipped with interface means; and a plurality of interchangeable and removable functional modules and/or systems securable to the standard shell by specific fastening means distinctive from a connection of each functional module to the standard shell. The interface means allow an assembly of a set of different modules and/or systems of a same functional type on the standard shell at an interfacing zone on the latter. The standard shell includes an assembly of a plurality of plates with different shapes and sizes giving the standard shell a geometric shape with fixed dimensions. The plates have orifices and/or connectors for fastening the interchangeable and removable functional modules and/or systems. The plurality of plates includes a base metal sheet including a base of the standard shell.
