Description
Fast Reaction, rapid fire 20 mm gun systems
Features
Defender provides a war vessel with a “last chance” defence against anti-ship missiles, aircraft and other littoral warfare threats that have penetrated the vessels other defences.
Defender automatically detects tracks and engages threats from anti-shipping missiles and aircraft to small high speed surface craft and surface mines.
Defender accomplishes these tasks with an advanced search and track radar system integrated with a stabilized, forward looking infra-red (FLIR) detector.
ATTA/ARC
The Advanced Tactical Threat Analysis and Automated Response Computer provide Defender the ability to “intelligently” identify threats, engage and kill without any input from external sources
The 6 barrelled 20mm Cannon its ammunition magazine and the search/track radar and FLIR are mounted on a rotating hydraulic base providing up to 300 degree rotation and the hydraulic bearings, which the cannon is mounted on to, provide the system with elevations from -15 degrees to +75 degrees
Statistics
Function – Multiple threat defence system
Weight – 6,210 kg
Range – up to 1 mile
Rate of fire – 4,500 rounds per minute
Magazine – 1,550 rounds
Calibre – 20mm
Ammunition – Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS), Depleted Uranium or tungsten sub-calibre penetrator.
Sensors – Self contained search and track radar with integrated FLIR
If anyone knows anything about ships and ship weapons could they leave a comment on the Defender, as I dont know much on the subject and would like a reality check
I'll add the one with missiles on the sides later on.
Thank you in advance.
