Artillery anti-cater defence systems

History
As the 21st century began, the anti-cater defence artillery systems (ASTO) of the ships began to develop more and more actively due to the increased terrorist threat to ships leaving warships or other vessels on board which there were terrorists.

The danger increases if a climber is managed remotely or by a deadly terrorist. In case of a group attack, the danger increases. Some experts believe that protection from the bee swarm of such climbers hardly exists.

The seriousness of this danger is confirmed by the use of combat boats not only by terrorists but also by the Navy of some countries. Thus, as of June 2009, Libya was bought by Cyprus for the needs of Libya's Navy over 50 remotely controlled combat boats at a speed of about 30 knots, and Iran's Naval Forces used combat boats to patrol the Gulf.

The tests carried out show that the protection of ships from small high-speed combat boats by means of the small-caliber launches of the nearby The Air Force is ineffective due to insufficient distance and accuracy of the shooting. Therefore, more efficient ASAs are being developed.

Developed Artillery Defence Systems (ASPO)

AsPO MLG-27
Remotely controlled stabilized ASPO MLG-27 was developed in Germany at the end of 2003. Prototype becomes 27 mm HK-27 fuel cannon, which is used on planes-crickets The MLG-27 ASPO will replace the artillery systems with the 20 mm automatic launchers By the end of 2011, these systems will be 83.

AsPO MLG-25
The MLG-25 ASPO developed in early 2005 on the basis of MLG-27 ASPO instead of the automatic launcher (AU) VK-27 was used 25 mm AU The supply to the new AU was increased to 220 cartridges. The use of FARDS-T ammunition is possible. The maximum effective range of fire is up to 2500 m.
