Towards the rear of the hull is the large powered one-man turret. A door to the weapon control station is located in the rear of the hull. Mounted on the front of the turret in an armored box is the electro-optical tracking equipment which consists of a TV tracking camera, and infra-red tracking camera and a laser rangefinder. The tracking ...
The British Army's new Bofors 40 mm guns were intended as their standard low-altitude anti-aircraft weapons. However, existing gunnery control systems were inadequate for the purpose; the range was too far to "guess" the lead, but at the same time close enough that the angle could change faster than the gunners could turn the traversal handles.

The Skyshield is designed for traditional anti-aircraft roles in addition to defense against missiles (see anti-ballistic missile). The Skyshield is deployed by trucks and other transportation systems. The fire control system (FCS) uses an X-band search and tracking radar X-TAR-3D, [2] and another unit for radar/TV and/or laser/FLIR precision ...
The basis of the system is the 20 mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon, used by the United States military on various tactical aircraft since 1959, linked to a K u band fire control radar system for acquiring and tracking targets. This proven system was combined with a purpose-made mounting, capable of fast elevation and traverse speeds, to track ...
K30 self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles of the 11th Division Air Defense Unit of the Republic of Korea Army under live fire training. The K30 was first announced as a project in 1983 with 600 personnel conducting research and around 10 billion won spent on R&D. [6] In September 2001, the production of prototypes were done under Tong-il Heavy Industries before Doosan Infracore concluded a ...
The Goalkeeper CIWS is a Dutch close-in weapon system (CIWS) introduced in 1979. It is an autonomous and completely automatic weapon system for short-range defence of ships against highly maneuverable missiles, aircraft and fast-maneuvering surface vessels.
Anti-aircraft warfare is the counter to aerial warfare [1] and includes "all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action". [2] It encompasses surface-based, subsurface (submarine-launched), and air-based weapon systems, in addition to associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements, and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons).
