| The LD2000 Ground-Based Close-In Weapon System is an effective and efficient weapon system for close-in air defence in various scenarios. It presents the final shield to intercept and kill those low and ultra-low flying cruise missiles, precision-guided weapons and aircrafts that penetrate within 3.5 km of the target. The mission of LD2000 is to protect high-value ground assets such as nuclear facilities, TBM launching positions, long-range SAM troops and central command centers, etc. A combat vehicle that incorporates a J-band tracking radar, a TV/IR tracking system and an enhanced 730B 30 mm seven-barrel Gatling gun, together with an intelligence & command vehicle that integrates a search radar with an intelligence console, comprises the fire unit of LD2000. In addition, the LD2000 fire unit is deployed with ammunition support vehicles, power supply vehicles, one warning radar and maintenance vehicles. The Intelligence & command vehicle (ICV) combines a search radar with an intelligence console, and provides increased situational awareness, automatic target search, acquisition, identification, threat evaluation, target indication, and optimal control of subordinate combat vehicles. The ICV is also able to communicate with superior operational command systems through data links. The combat vehicle can automatically receive target indications from the ICV, acquire and track targets, resolve fire solution, aim and fire. It consists of a tracking radar system, an E/O tracking system, a director, a 730B gun, ammunition, a direction/position finder, a levelling system, communications equipment, etc. |
