description: "The M163 had a fairly limited range from the start. Its 20x102mm round\
|
|
\ gave it a low effective range of only 1,200 meters, and its standard air-defense\
|
|
\ load of HEI-T rounds would self-destruct at approximately 1800 meters, a hard\
|
|
\ limit on range. Additionally, the radar was a range-only set incapable of finding\
|
|
\ targets. In US and Israeli service, the VADS has rarely been needed in its intended\
|
|
\ purpose of providing defense against aerial threats\u2014consequently, the Vulcan\
|
|
\ gun system was in use throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s primarily as a\
|
|
\ ground support weapon."
