An apparatus for providing anti-mine protection for an armored vehicle, the apparatus comprising a concave floor plate ( ) that provides both a sufficient ground clearance ( ) and a clear distance ( ) between the floor plate and spring bars or support arms mounted above the floor plate. The floor plate ( ) is fixedly connected on the sides to the housing or hull side wall ( ) and the side flange plate ( ) secured to the housing side wall, such that respective angled regions of the housing side wall ( ) and of the flange plates ( ) surround the top and bottom of the floor plate ( ) and rest flat against it.

Anti-mine floor for an armored vehicle

A tracked vehicle has a driven track suspension on each side of the hull, whereby the track suspension and the hull are connected by means of a vibration damping material. The track suspension is mounted on a U-shaped bridge element with lateral track supports with the use of a connecting floor plate, whereby each of the track supports is equipped with an electric drive motor as a track drive. The hull is suspended in the bridge element by means of vibration damping elements.

Tracked vehicle

A large-bore twin-weapon system for combat vehicles, wherein the weapons are arranged in the proximity of the longitudinal side on the combat vehicle. The weapons are supported at the two ends of a horizontal carrier arranged therebetween unilaterally and rotatable independent of one another. The carrier is connected to the combat vehicle on three pivots. Two pivots define an axis of rotation for pivoting the carrier and the third pivot is formed as lifting means for the carrier.
