A self propelled gun (2) comprises a vehicle (4) possessing a source of primary power (6) and a gun assembly (8) movably attached to the vehicle. The gun assembly (8) comprises a base (10), a cradle (14) pivotally mounted to the base and a barrel (16) slidably mounted to the cradle (14) such as to be displaceable from a first, run-out, position to a second, recoiled, position as a consequence of the barrel (16) recoiling on firing. The gun assembly (8) is movably mounted to the vehicle (4), preferably by a pivot arrangement (24, 26) between vehicle (4) and base (10), such that in a first, "mobility", mode the gun assembly (8) is free of any direct contact with the ground (42), and said barrel (16) points in a first direction allowing said vehicle (4) to be driven and a second, "firing", mode of operation in which the gun assembly is deployed to a firing position in which the base moves towards and into engagement with the ground (42). During deployment of the gun assembly (8) the barrel (16) is deployable through an angle of elevation which differs from said first direction by at least ninety degrees.

L'invention concerne un canon automoteur (2) qui comprend un véhicule (4) à source d'énergie primaire (6) et un ensemble canon (8) fixé mobile au véhicule. L'ensemble canon (8) comprend une base (10), un berceau (14) monté pivotant sur la base et un canon (16) monté coulissant sur le berceau (14) pour passer d'une première position déployée à une seconde position de recul, suite au recul du canon (16) après le tir. L'ensemble canon (8) est fixé mobile au véhicule (4), de préférence par un système de pivot (24, 26) : ainsi, dans un premier mode de "mobilité", il (8) n'est pas en contact avec le sol (42), et le canon (16) est pointé dans une première direction, ce qui permet au véhicule (4) de se déplacer, et, dans un second mode de "tir", il est déployé en position de tir, moyennant quoi la base vient au contact du sol (42) pour s'immobiliser. Pendant le déploiement de l'ensemble canon (8), le canon (16) est déployé suivant un angle de hausse d'au moins 90 degrés par rapport à la première direction susmentionnée.
