A Remote Controlled Weapon Station is provided wherein it comprises a weapon mounting bracket that is remotely adjustable in elevating/lowering and a rotatable turret assembly adapted to be mounted on vehicles, remotely adjustable in rotation, and wherein the weapon mounting bracket is pivotally mounted on it, and the Remote Controlled Weapon Station is converted into a remote controlled Non Lethal weapon station by that at least one non lethal means is installed in it, chosen from a group consisting ofa multi barreled means for firing grenades; multi-barrels launcher means for pyrotechnically firing plurality of charges; acoustic means for producing tones; illuminating means; observation means and means for providing sniper firing capabilities of small caliber kinetic bullet.

The turret includes a hollow casing provided with a firearm, such as a cannon. The casing includes a front portion or shell, on which there is mounted the firearm and which defines a front cavity, which at least partially houses the firearm; and a rear portion or tail. The rear portion or tail defines a rear cavity, which houses at least one between a projectile magazine and a mechanism to load the projectiles into the breech of the firearm. The front portion or shell and the rear portion or tail are distinct from one another and are mutually mechanically assembled so that the cavities at least partially communicate with one another.

In one embodiment, a safety trailer has semi-tractor hitches at both ends and a safety wall that is fixed to one side of the trailer. That side, however, can be changed to the right or left side of the road, depending on the end to which the truck attaches. A caboose can be attached at the end of the trailer opposite the tractor to provide additional lighting and impact protection. Optionally, the trailer can be equipped with overhead protection, lighting, ventilation, onboard hydraulics, compressors, generators and other equipment, as well as related fuel, water, storage and restroom facilities and other amenities.

Described herein is a new design for a combat vehicle, such as a battle tank, that includes enhanced armor plating overhead of the passengers inside the vehicle. The enhanced armor may include thicker plating within a turret that is arranged over where one or more passengers are seated within a turret basket. In some respects, the plated region of the turret may also protect rear features such as an autoloader from frontal attacks. The armored turret region may have a thickness of at least 500 mm or may have a thickness that extends an entire height of the turret. One or more occupants of the combat vehicle may be seated within a turret basket beneath the turret, such that they are arranged beneath the armored turret region when seated and better protected from overhead attacks.
