ABSTRACT:
An assembly for feeding projectile ammunition in an armored vehicle equipped with a rotating turret and weapon carrier utilizes a mother container disposed within the vehicle below the feed port to the weapon carrier. The mother container is movable inwardly and outwardly of the vehicle through a feed door and includes a multiplicity of ammunition containers therewithin. The conveyor system for moving the ammunition containers is disposed within the mother container and is extensible therefrom through the port to move ammunition containers between the mother container and the weapon carrier. The mother container makes it possible to load at one time a number of filled reserve containers, together with their conveyor, after the mother container in use, possibly containing individual containers exhausted by firing, has been removed from the armored vehicle.
