But your CS and GS gunners routinely prepared themselves to defend their guns and their positions, learning to employ small arms, MGs, CGs and ATGMs as well as canister and HEAT. My sense is that the AI turrets, of which we both seem enamoured, fit somewhere around entrenched 50s. And I...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Skyshield_AA.jpg I think that we are missing the point entirely on local air defence, or for that matter area defence. The systems are not manpower intensive. Especially as we move towards containers of ready to fire missiles and interceptor drones. A duty...

https://nextgendefense.com/bae-systems-black-thorn/ Many UxVs are being built around plug'n'play modular payloads with the emphasis being one reusable EW/ISR/Comms payloads. BAE is now adding modular explosive payloads. The standardized calibres are interesting - 40mm, 70mm and 120mm.
