BAE Systems displays its CTAI 40mm Gun

[Music] we are at the BAE Systems story in and fx4 2020 and I have with me a very fine and very new gun system we thought mascara mission to our viewers is the cd40 gun system which can be used from the land surface also as also from platform frequency is a big developer what about the equipment in the band really okay so this is the CT faulty system it's a case telescope system so it uses a very unique type of munition where the munition itself actually telescopes out of the casing itself so very compact system for 40 millimeter caliber now as well as the ammunition being very unique the gun system is very unique as well what we have here is something called an introductory generally we would have a automated handling system feeding the munition into the incident into here this then pushes into a rotating chamber which the munition rotates 90 degrees it fires it will then rotate continue to rotate 90 degrees and then the next munition will then push it out of the other side so the chamber is rotating constantly 200 rounds per minute now this system is very compact because of the rotating chamber this allows the system to be very light as well the main takeaway is the swept volume so as the gun elevates the back of the gun does not penetrates the vehicle so this allows us to have very high degrees of elevation as well this reduces the weight we can have things like unmanned turrets so this means we can have smaller turrets they're lighter turrets so generally you have you can either have firepower mobility or more armored this system here allows us to have more firepower being a 40 millimeter weapon system it's a similar size to a 25 millimeter Bushmaster so that it's a real weight reduction that allows us to distribute that weight Ivor in mobility or in armor or both a combination of both the CT Fortis weapon system has a suite of munitions starting with the armor-piercing round this is a sub old round firing at 1,500 metres per second we can penetrate up to 140 millimeters of RHA steel at 1.5 kilometers which is very impressive if you look at other systems we have a point detonating full caliber munition this strikes and on impact has an eight you charge this is a 1 kilogram projectile so the kinetic energy and thermal effect is but is very is very big with an 18 round obviously you have the the effects of the a cheap pot and after effects with let's say behind the wall this here is an airburst round so it's a programmed fuse we can tell the munition went to when to ignite over a target taking out things like troops or in conjunction with this one we can make a hole in a wall and then fire one of these into into the into the room to take out a bigger room this here is our what we call a kinetic air burst round so this is used for anti-air capability so you would probably fire a salvo of say five rounds that would then take out anything from a fast-moving missile a helicopter or or a drone of some kind now moving on we have the blue training ground this is just an inert round butts as well it's a one-kilogram round very high kinetic force behind it moving along to the next round again this is a UK MLD and a French and worth UGA requirements this is a reduced range munition which is ballistically matched to all these munitions to 1500 metres after 1500 metres it will then drop out the speed yeah this is because of the the training ranges in France and the UK are not very long so we have to have this type of requirements again the UK modi thoughts well the training round here has a very high kinetic force or one kilogram round they said you know this can be used as at what we call the war shots so we've painted it white and it's a linear linear out which can still cause a lot of damage abdul so you were three or four kilometres the navy a bottle doesn't drag holder to hit the target does it want with a bucket it's warmer had now system perhaps connected to it well we CTA I are a joint venture company operating systems and next systems we are turret agnostic so really this this type of information would come from the turret integrator we have a weapon system which is very precise has a reliability is has a very high reliability the maintenance of this type of system is very very low for example oiling of this system you would probably do once every six months it's very very low indeed so when it when it comes to targeting information this would come from a current integrator that we are happy to work with thank you so much okay thank you very much [Music]
