US M163A1 Vulcan

Matt Zador | Italeri #6560

The M163 Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS) was a U.S. Army self-propelled antiaircraft weapon based on the M113 armored personnel carrier. Its turret mounted the radar-assisted 20 mm M61 Vulcan six-barrel rotary cannon, capable of very high rates of fire against low-flying aircraft and helicopters. Entering service in the late 1960s, the highly mobile M163 accompanied armored and mechanized units. It could also engage ground targets and remained in U.S. Army service into the 1990s.
