The upgraded 37mm anti-aircraft gun has its own generator powered by an engine. The generator powers the carriage electrical controls and also the electro-optical sight system. It enhances the kill probability, reduces manpower and offers simpler operations. The upgraded 37mm gun can work in three modes, the original manual controls for elevation/depression and traverse with optical sights, a semi-controlled mode with a joystick at the gunner seat and the full automatic model with the weapon coupled to a laser aiming sight and ballistic computer. The Laser aiming sight LAS786P provides azimuth, elevation and range of a target up to 10km, while the computer TBC789P receives data from the laser aiming sight, computes trajectory of a moving target and predict future position of the target.

The information is sent to the ballistic computer that is mounted on the carriage of the twin 37-mm anti-aircraft gun. The ballistic computer also calculates the advance and super elevation.
The tracking and ballistic computer is built around a high-performance, state-of-the-art, high-speed, large memory single chip micro controller. This instructs the control computer to position the gun at the required angle to hit the target. In firing position the wheels of the gun carriage are raised off the ground and it is supported by four screw jacks, one at the front, one at the rear of the carriage and one either side on outriggers.
This 37mm anti-aircraft gun has 182 37 mm rounds stored on the carriage with clips of five rounds and has a crew of five or six. It has a firing range from 100 to 1,500 m against air targets, while ground target maximum range is 3,500 m. |
