ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic turret weapon system for armed vehicles that includes a turret and a weapon on the turret adapted to be independently directed at a target. A hydraulic drive includes a pair of hydraulic motors for moving the turret and weapon respectively. The motors are connected in parallel with each other to a pressure compensated pump and to a fluid reservoir. A pair of pressure sensors are respectively connected to the inlets and outlets of the parallel motors, and provide electrical signals as a function of hydraulic fluid pressure. An electronic controller is responsive to the pressure sensor signals, and to turret and weapon command signals, for generating directive signals to control motion at the turret and weapon motors individually. Velocities at the hydraulic motors are controllable both independently and conjointly.
