The
high rate of fire and the 20mm caliber of the HITROLE® - 20mm make
it particularly well suited for Coast Guard patrolling operations, anti-smuggling
operations and for countering asymmetric threats.
The high capacity
of the ammunition storage (750 rounds 20mm), provides the necessary
operative flexibility and autonomy for close-in protection against
sea-based threats and air targets. HITROLE® - 20mm is fitted,
as standard configuration, with the renowned three barrels 20 mm x
102 mm Gatling gun, characterized by high reliability and rate of
fire. The system, upon request, can be fitted in alternative with
single barrel machine guns of 12.7mm caliber, 12.7mm Gatling gun,
40mm AGL, or. as growth potential, six barrels 20 mm x 102 mm
Gatling gun and 30 mm LF chain gun.
