The ATK Invictus™ is designed to employ ATK's M230LF automatic cannon, the link-fed variant of the highly reliable M230 Cannon carried on the AH-64 Apache Attack helicopter. The weapon system was developed in partnership with the US Navy to provide greater range and lethality versus crew-served weapons, and to fill the need for a lightweight weapon system alternative.

The M230LF is a link-fed version of ATK’s 30mm Chain Gun used on the Apache helicopter. The weapon fires M788, M789 and NATO standard 30mm ADEN/DEFA ammunition. The M230LF is ideal for use on ground vehicles and patrol boats in turrets or remote weapon stations.

The stabilization system of Invictus™, ballistic computation and quality sensors provide superior targeting for shipboard and ground engagements.
