The best way to defend against air and surface attacks is to use the weapons with high rate of accurate controlled fire. The 20mm three-barrel Gatling gun M197 with a variable rate of fire of 300-1500 rounds/minute and fast movements in traverse and elevation, is a very appropriate gun for this purpose.
The primary role of the M197 Gatling gun is to be mounted on Cobra attack helicopters to be used against air and surface targets; however as a secondary role, it can be fitted on vehicles and speedboats too. The gun can also effectively be used against insurgents and smugglers by disciplinary forces.
