Will we ever see a point defense system using a m2 maybe with slightly better cartdriges using doppler radars, thermal to find snd track incoming ordnance?
No. Rate of fire is king in ballistic AA, and for the many wonderful things about the M2, it absolutely does not have the rate of fire for CIWS work.
>>64765180No, Big Army is moving to 30mm because cannon shells can use proximity fuses in that role.
Yes but it will take awhile, the M2 will still be in service in another 50 years when cheap airburst fuses can fit in a 50bmg bullet.
>>64765180No. M240s and 30x113mm are the unofficial CUAS guns.
>>64765182Anon the M3
>>64765180Honestly I'm surprised like this hasn't been tested and publicized years ago, just as a cheap and ubiquitous counter for cheap drones.
>>64766486I can talk to you as to why in detail, but the tldr is that we don't have the Machine Vision AI tech to make it happen and the computer for it is fairly intense.I am sure someone has it behind the scenes, but there is no public dataset of drones OR people in camouflage to train models on for cheap.
