ABSTRACT:
An armored vehicle having a full-circle swivelable turret and a weapon which outside the turret is elevationally aimable on a weapon support connected to the turret includes a mechanism for selectively securing, releasing, and partially releasing the weapon support exclusively from the turret interior and for triggering a signal when the weapon support is secured. When the weapon support is secured the weapon is maintained in a fixed position, and when the weapon support is released the weapon can be moved into any firing position. The mechanism allows personnel to remain inside the armored protection when securing and releasing the weapon support.
