ADVANCED MINOR CALIBER GUN

Abstract

The Advanced Minor Caliber Gun project will support non-recurring engineering, component integration, testing and qualification efforts required for the capability upgrades to the MK38 Mod 2, a minor caliber gun weapon system. The new configuration (MOD 3) creates a near term improvement to address ship based, close range solutions to defeat the Fast Attack Craft (FAC)/Fast In-Shore Attack Craft (FIAC) threat. The MK38 Mod 2 was developed in FY04 under Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) direction to outfit near term deployers to counter small boat threats.
