technology

The core of the Type 730 system is the 30 mm Gatling cannon with 7 barrels. This provides a very high cadence of up to 4.200 to 5.800 projectiles per minute. The cannon fires either high explosive (HE) or fragmentation explosive projectiles (HE-FRAG).

The electronics consist of a radar on the top left of the tower, as well as a color camera, a thermal imaging camera and a laser range finder in a U-shaped bracket on the top right. The range of the radar is 8 kilometers for small targets and 15 to 20 kilometers for medium to large targets. The electro-optical unit has a range of up to 6 kilometers. After identifying the target, it can be fought from a distance of 3 kilometers. However, 1 to 1.5 kilometers is the most effective range.
