An American close-in weapon system: a six-barrel 20 mm rotary cannon with its own search and track radar. It stacks on a 3 m node. It holds 1,550 rounds, fires 4,500 a minute, and is effective to 1,486 m. The barrels elevate from -25° to +85°, and the radome moves with them so the radar stays lined up with the guns.
