Deck Clearance System for Gun Control.
Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide automatic clearance of obstacles while providing maximum field of fire in a rotating gun system. Another object is to provide said automatic deck clearance in a manner which slows the weapon down as a deck clearance zone is approached and stops its downward motion quickly and precisely above the obstacle without oscillation or bouncing. Another object is to provide said deck clearance in a simple, low cost, reliable, and easily maintained manner. A further object is to provide a deck clearance system that can be readily modified to when the obstacle profile of the platform is changed.
