The 35 mm Oerlikon Millennium Gun® with its unique Ahead air burst ammunition is a multi-mission, inner layer defence system (ILDS) capable of defeating anti-ship missiles and aircraft, multiple fast-attack surface craft, jet-skis and near-shore land targets in littoral and riverine waters. Additionally it is also effective against submarine periscopes, offering an ASW capability. With a high rate of fire combined with accurately fuzed air-bursting ammunition, the Millennium Gun provides the necessary capability for ship self-protection in the modern symmetric and asymmetric warfare environment. The 35 mm Millennium Gun extends ship self-protection to ranges greater than any close-in weapon system.
