Shotgun SG possible also… for anti-ship systems. But i have a feeling it MAY be a bit harder to foil anti-ship missiles. For HEAT rounds or RPGs, all u need is to damage the copper lining of the warhead a bit, and it would be enuff to negate the effectiveness of the missile. Not sure abt HE warheads of Ships.
four-niner SG yah maybe ships cannot use 40mm since most anti-ship missiles warhead have over 100kg HE, 40mm may not able to negate effects maybe apply same software but use something larger to counter. If they manage to develop the software that tracks incoming rounds this could have massive implications and good news for all tankees they will now sweat lesser and can sleep easier at night
four-niner SG click on the FCS video on normandy assault 2014 www.army.mil/fcs/ observe the part with the demo on intercepting rpg alternative site I think same video might be faster http://www.army.mil/professionalvideo/movies/fcs2005.mov
spartan6 SG For our ships at lest 1 of our LST has it SAM replaced with e Typhoon gun system, a 25mm CIWS,so far not known if other 3 r fitted
tankee1981 SG I believe that LST you are refering to is the one which we sent to Iraq to guard some oil facility. But i am surprised that this particular one is without any SAM system. Do you have any links?
|-|05| SG i thought they had a short range SAM sys and the typhoon gun system,which i was told was also installed to protect againest small speedboats
spartan6 SG Tankee 1981 u right , anyway e Tyhpoon replaces e SAM system,thou SAF say it for anti-speedboats use,e system is made in Isreal n is a fully capable CIWS, now there even a MK 2 version on e market
