O canhão 40mm MK4 e os principais impactos de seu sistema de controle elétrico

Abstract

In the war scenario, since the creation of the cannon, more robust weapons began to be examined more closely and, thus, the cannon and ammunition combination was observed. Over the years, another variable entered this equation, the system associated with the cannon where the evolution of one causes the evolution of the other. Thus, it has arrived in the newest versions of this set. In the context of innovations and technologies in current wars, the introduction of the 40mm MK4 cannon by the Brazilian Navy assumes a notable role. This weapons system, with its innovative interconnected electrical control system, offers new employment alternatives. Firstly, the integration of the electrical control system with the cannon represents a significant technological advance since the electrical drive allows precise adjustments in real time and also provides lighter weapons, which is fundamental in military operations where situations can evolve quickly, in addition, the set: 40mm MK4 cannon, electrical control system and 3P intelligent ammunition constitutes an innovative triad in the Navy capable of projecting Naval Power in the most different scenarios impacting on some important concepts in the current scenario.
