Anythign on the Millenium 35mm CIWS?

thanks Wanshan and Steve.

Steve, do you know which APC that is?

I didn’t actually but I do now 🙂 Wanshan was partly right with the US GVP “COLONEL” 8 X 8 AFV but it’s actually the Turkish based FNSS Savunma Sistemleri companies co-developed Pars or Leopard family.http://www.fnss.com.tr/

“Sea SLICE Tests 21st Century Naval Technology (Sept 2002)

The Navy part of Millennium Challenge 2002 is Fleet Battle Experiment – Juliet, involving Lockheed Martin’s Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems Group (Clearwater, FL). A large part of FBE-J is a test of the Sea SLICE advanced technical demonstrator, a unique prototype combat vessel. Sea SLICE is a high-speed catamaran-type hull designed to carry modular, mission-specific war-fighting packages that address the specific areas of mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, force protection, and time-critical targeting. The 106-foot Sea SLICE prototype is diesel-electric powered, running two variable-pitch propellers, and yielding a 400 NM range and top speed of 30 K. Weapons tested were to include the joint Lockheed Martin/Oerlikon Contraves 35mm Millenium Gun”
