Abstract

See full text

A combat tank is converted into an artillery observation tank without requiring removal of the main gun. The combat tank is converted by integrating retrofitted equipment necessary for the artillery observation, especially the navigation system (12), into the vehicle turret (4) such that it does not collide with the main gun. The navigation system (12) is installed with an arbitrary orientation at an arbitrary location in the vehicle turret (4), and adjusted at this location, without requiring a complicated adjustment mechanism for the observation system, or attachment to the elevating mass. The necessary elevation values for the line of sight (21) are obtained through the evaluation of the angular values of a mirror in the mirror head, such as of a primary-target telescope (20), or through evaluation of gun-position angles.
