ADI Modernized 40/60

     Notes:  This is a modernization of the standard Bofors L/60 antiaircraft gun.  It is designed for low cost and to be an easy upgrade.  The biggest upgrades are not in the guns themselves, but in the hydraulic and electrical systems controlling the firing, traverse, and elevation.  The result is a weapon that can elevate, traverse, and follow targets much faster than a standard L/60 AAG.  It also replaces worn components with newer ones able to better withstand use and abuse.  As of 2000, only the Australian Navy is using this version of the L/60, but it is also for sale on the open market.
