COMBAT VEHICLE WITH COMBAT STAGES AND A LIFTING DEVICE

On an armoured combat vehicle (10) with a turret (12) for the crew, a lifting device (20) is preferably designed as a two-part articulated arm (22, 23), the upper arm (22) being telescopic. The two combat stages (42, 43) arranged at the upper end of the telescopic arm (22) are each partially or completely movable about the three space axes. The lifting device (20) is so designed that the combat stages (42, 43) remain fully operational even in the lowered transport position of the telescopic arm (22). By means of additional stages (52, 53) in the region of the articulation (24) of the lifting device (20), the combat capacity of the combat vehicle (10) can be further increased. The possibility of controlling all the combat stages (42, 43, 52, 53) independently of one another allows a plurality of targets on the ground and/or in the air to be combatted simultaneously.
