Bofors 40 Mk3 Naval Gun

Bofors Defence
40 mm Mk 3 is a versatile system for use as an air defence gun on larger naval vessels or as the main armament on smaller craft for combating both surface and aerial targets.

The digitized and computer controlled gun, which is constructed largely of non-magnetic materials to reduce weight and magnetic signature, has full remote control as well as a local control back-up mode.

The 101-round magazine contains more than enough ammunition for ten engagements, ensuring the Mk 3's high level of endurance.

And with the Bofors Defence round it has the ability to defeat anti-ship missiles, attack aircraft and helicopters as well as surface targets and on-shore targets.
