ADVANCED MINOR CALIBER GUN
Abstract
The Advanced Minor Caliber Gun project supported non-recurring engineering, component integration, testing and qualification efforts required for the capability upgrades to the MK 38 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 MK 38 MOD 2 was developed in FY 2004 to outfit near term deployers to counter small boat threats. OCO: In order to respond to the Joint Urgent Operational Need (CC-0558) for Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS), the MK 38 MOD 2 Machine Gun System will be upgraded to counter these threats. Both FY2018 and FY2019 funding in OCO supports the modifications for this requirement. Fielding is expected to start 1st quarter FY20.
