An Anti-aircraft weapon is a piece of artillery that is fired from the ground or a ship in response to an airborne assault. When the airplane first became a lethal weapon Anti-aircraft weapons development got under way.
Field artillery pieces in caliber were modified for use as Anti-aircraft weapons during World War I by mountings that allowed them to fire almost vertically. However, aiming techniques remained insufficient, and throughout the interwar period, significant advancements were made in the creation of range finders, searchlights, time fuses, and gullying devices to assist artillery pieces in hitting the swiftly moving targets that aircraft offered.
During World War II, radar was used to track targets, rapid-firing and automatic Anti-aircraft weapons were developed, and tiny radio-wave proximity fuses were used to detonate ammunition as it approached the target.
The Swedish-based Boors’ company developed a gun, which was widely utilized by the British and American armies against dive-bombers and low-level assault aircraft. On this rifle, the Soviets based their 37-millimeter weapon. Against high-flying bombers, heavier Anti-aircraft weapons up to 120 mm were employed. The German 88-millimeter Fliegerabwehrkanone was the most efficient of them, and its abbreviated name, flak, became a generic term for Anti-aircraft weapons.
The Global Anti-aircraft weapons market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The “Pantsir-S1” AAMGS is unique in that it has integrated missile-cannon armaments, has a quick reaction time, and can conduct reconnaissance and destroy moving air targets.
The “Pantsir-S1” Anti-aircraft weapon and gun system is intended to strengthen air defense units against large air strikes as well as to provide air defense for small military and administrative-industrial facilities and areas, including mobile ones, against fixed- and rotary-winged aircraft, cruise missiles, and precision munitions.
A towed Anti-aircraft weapon produced by Oerlikon Con-traves (renamed as Rheinmetall Air DE fence AG after merging with Rheinmetall ) is the Oerlikon GDF or Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannon. The system’s initial designation was 2 ZLA/353 ML, but later became GDF-001.
