Abstract

With the rapid development of various types of military aircraft, the demands have increased for more responsive antiaircraft equipment with a higher degree of maneuverability, greater range, accuracy, and dependability. Following a listing of requirements of improved antiaircraft artillery to match new developments in aircraft speed, high- and low-altitude flight, and maneuverability, a detailed description is given of the following equipment: 14. 5-mm-Fla-MG-Vierling, with a quadruplet-barrel turret, 23-mm-Zwillingsflak, a twin-barrel flak gun, 57-mm Flak, and 100-mm-Flak. For each weapon, data include range, accuracy, and group maneuverability.
