MECHANISM FOR DEFEATING ARMOR USING BALLISTIC WEAPONS

摘要

A system includes a ballistic weapon (102) having a barrel and a firing system (110) having a controller (210). The controller is configured to receive a firing command and in response, when operating in a first mode of operation, to trigger repeated firing of the ballistic weapon (618) such that the barrel of the ballistic weapon reseats in between consecutive firings of the ballistic weapon. The controller may also be configured to receive the firing command and in response, when operating in a second mode of operation, to trigger a single firing of the ballistic weapon (610). The controller may further be configured to receive the firing command and in response, when operating in a third mode of operation, to trigger repeated firing (614) of the ballistic weapon such that the barrel of the ballistic weapon does not reseat in between consecutive firings of the ballistic weapon.
