Abstract:
1. Land vehicle weapon system comprising: a base mount coupled with a land vehicle; a weapon mount; a plurality of weapons coupled with said weapon mount; a weapon moving mechanism coupled between said base mount and said weapon mount, said weapon moving mechanism being operable to move said weapons to a combined configuration, between a transportation configuration and a static firing configuration; a plurality of moving elements coupled with at least one of said base mount, said weapon mount, said weapons, and with said weapon moving mechanism; a sensing mechanism coupled with at least one of said weapon mount, said weapons and said base mount; and at least one user interface coupled with said weapons, said weapon moving mechanism, said moving elements, and with said sensing mechanism, said at least one user interface enabling a user to remotely operate said weapons, wherein said weapon moving mechanism comprises a four bar linkage having a first link, a second link, a third link and a fourth link, wherein the fourth link is fixed and is the same as said base mount, the first link of said four bar linkage being rotatably coupled with said fourth link, the second link of said four bar linkage being rotatably coupled with said first link and with the third link of said four bar linkage, said third link being slidably coupled with said fourth link, allowing said third link to slide along said fourth link, said weapon mount being rotatably coupled with a joint between said first link and said second link, said weapon moving mechanism being in said transportation configuration, when said first link, said second link, and said third link are substantially aligned along a substantially horizontal flat plane, said weapon moving mechanism being in said static firing configuration, when said four bar linkage forms a substantially triangular geometric form, said weapon moving mechanism being in said combined configuration when said third link slides along said fourth link and said four bar linkage forms a substantially quadrilateral geometric shape.
