Meanwhile, there is a growing interest in C-RAM solutions, which could have prompted NORINCO to market this system now. Our Gatling Gun Kit uses your two standard Ruger 10/22 rifles (not included) and will give you a good feel for what a real gatling gun would feel like while enjoying cost saving. This is of particular concern as the drone threat continues to proliferate and itвЂ™s a topic that we have discussed in depth in the past. approach, where this class of weapon has been neglected since the end of the Cold War. In fact, the continuing Chinese focus on short-range air defense (SHORAD) systems that can detect, track, and engage smaller targets in all weathers, is in stark contrast to the U.S. Equally, there is no reason why short-range surface-to-air missiles couldnвЂ™t be added, as on the earlier system, to provide another option against low-level aerial threats. Whatever role the new Chinese truck-mounted system is intended to fulfill, itвЂ™s clear that, if adopted for service, it would offer capabilities in excess of those of the current LD-2000, at least as far as the gun armament is concerned. Moreover, the hurdles to exporting a counter-drone system are likely fairly low and, especially after the experience of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict last year, this is a threat that is fast becoming a high priority outside of China, too. Loitering munitions are in the ascendancy in the Asia Pacific region, with the Israeli-made Harop, in particular, proliferating there in both land and sea domains, and with Taiwan also developing loitering munitions of its own. The threat posed by swarming drones is one that has not gone unnoticed by China, which is one of the leading players in that field.

The proliferation of drones is also a likely driver behind the development of the new 11-barrel system. It could be that the Chinese system makes a similar tradeoff, or it may be that the original non-self-destructing ammunition is retained. To ensure that the CenturionвЂ™s own fire doesnвЂ™t cause destruction to the surrounding area, a special Multipurpose Tracer-Self Destruct (MPT-SD) round is used, which lack the range and вЂstopping powerвЂ™ of the tungsten-cored armored piercing discarding-sabot (APDS) round used in the naval Phalanx. The particular ammunition used in the new Chinese system would also help determine its lethal radius. Having radar and electro-optical sensors on the same truck chassis means the Chinese system is self-contained and doesnвЂ™t have to be plugged into a larger network, although that could be advantageous in some scenarios. But when fielded as part of a multi-layered air-defense system, or as a point-defense solution for a particular installation, then thatвЂ™s not necessarily a problem. While a 30mm cannon, as used in the Chinese CIWS offers greater destructive power and range than the 20mm ammunition used in the Phalanx and its land-based iterations, regardless of caliber, these kinds of weapons all have a fairly limited radius.
