The mission is assigned by the plurality of land bases to the flotilla of drones in one or several determined zones.

The present invention relates to a new generation dual-handle, adjustable steering console used for steering tracked military land vehicles. The present invention, considering the weight of the console, vehicle's condition on the ground, and the confined volume of the driver's cabinet, particularly relates to a new generation dual-handle steering console that comprises a linear motion lock (40), an angular motion lock (50), and a wrist motion lock (60) that allow for individually adjusting the steering console to the best position for the driver.

The invention relates to the automation system providing automatic assembly/disassembly of the vehicle subsystems such as wheel, suspension, axle complex, power transfer etc. of the military land vehicles. In particular, the invention relates to the military land vehicles assembly/disassembly automation systems comprising the drive tower (100), which moves on the “X” axis by the tower movement system (133) drive on the rail (500) anchored to the ground, which is connected with the mounting apparatus (111) of the vehicle body (700) and provides that the height on the “Z” axis with the ball screw (120) to be suitable for mounting, the slave tower (150), which moves on the “Y” axis by the tower movement system (133) drive on the rail (500) anchored to the ground, which is connected with the mounting apparatus (111) of the vehicle body (700) and provides that the height in the “Z” axis with the ball screw (120) to be suitable for mounting, the automatically guided vehicle (600), which has heavy tonnage capacity and the ability to move on X, Y and Z axes on which the work piece (800) to be mounted is positioned, controllable on all of the axis (X,Y and Z) except the manual PLC control (program) with the remote control panel (300) and with wireless or vehicle controller (601) on it, and which is rechargeable and has wireless power supply (traction battery) (602), PLC (400) with programmable structure having its own database that controls all moving elements within the automation system and safety systems within the program limits.

An immersive simulation method for coaching and training a crew in the use of an armoured vehicle turret having a control computer, acquisition interfaces for commanding equipment units of the turret, and rendering interfaces for presentation of data to the crew, the control computer, acquisition interfaces, and rendering interfaces being connected to each other by computer bus, includes: connecting the control computer to a simulation computer, to which the control computer communicates a status of the turret; producing, using the simulation computer, a virtual environment, and presenting, using the rendering interfaces, the virtual environment at least in part to the crew. One or more motorised equipment units of the turret are in operation. Commands entered by the crew via the acquisition interfaces are transmitted to the operating motorised equipment units. Movements of the equipment units brought about by the commands are used to produce optical, auditory, and/or acceleration sensations.

A control system for operating a military vehicle according to different modes includes processing circuitry that receives a user input indicating a selected mode of the different modes, and operates a driveline and a front end accessory drive (FEAD) of the military vehicle according to the selected mode. The driveline of the military vehicle includes an engine and an integrated motor generator (IMG) and the FEAD includes multiple accessories and an electric motor-generator. The modes include an engine mode and an electric mode. In the engine mode, the engine drives the FEAD and drives tractive elements of the military vehicle through the IMG for transportation. In the electric mode, the engine is shut off to reduce a sound output of the military vehicle and the IMG drives the tractive elements of the military vehicle for transportation and the electric motor-generator drives the FEAD.

A military vehicle includes a cab having a rear wall, a bed positioned behind the cab, and an energy storage system. The energy storage system includes a lower support coupled to the bed, a battery supported by the lower support, a bracket coupled to the batter, and an isolator mount coupling the bracket to the rear wall. The isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the rear wall.

A military vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle, a rear axle, an energy storage system, an engine, a transmission, and a motor. The chassis includes a passenger capsule, a front module coupled to a front end of the passenger capsule, and a rear module coupled to a rear end of the passenger capsule. The passenger capsule defines a tunnel extending longitudinally along a bottom thereof. The front module includes a front subframe assembly. The rear module includes a rear subframe assembly. The front axle is coupled to the front subframe assembly. The rear axle is coupled to the rear subframe assembly. The engine is supported by the front subframe assembly. The transmission is positioned within the tunnel and coupled to the front axle and/or the rear axle. The motor is at least partially positioned within the tunnel and positioned between the engine and the transmission.
