ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to an electronic and hydraulic control system to provide variable speed capability for moving a weapon system carried on an armored vehicle. A weapon system is mounted on a turret assembly for movement in the azimuth and elevation directions. Hydraulic motors and piston-cylinder arrangements actuated by a variable electronic control system are employed to drive the weapon system. Through the desired path the control system permits the weapon system to be driven in two ranges, a normal range which is variable and a high speed range which is constant to provide quick motion to a target when needed.
