Some "old school" PLAN pics!

Smith, Commander, USN Region Northwest, on the 12-tubed fixed anti-submarine mortar launcher, during a tour, aboard his ship. DoD photo by: PH2 CHRISTOPHER MOBLEY, USN Date Shot: 16 Sep 2000

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4
well, we saw that China showed some Kashtan clones in the recent IDEX 2007 show. But those ones seemed to be pretty much geared for exports.
I got picture of a couple of new CIWS apparently for PLAN. Not sure if these are seriously going into service or not. An interesting part is that they no longer have the radar on the gun itself. I assume that must mean it requires some kind of on board radar (like Kashtan's on board radar) for targetting.
The latter is clearly more advanced with the 8 extra missiles + 1 extra "eye"
- Type 730 only had 3 "eyes" - TV tracking, IR tracking and LRF. Not sure what the 4th one is.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4
Does not look like a Kashtan to me other than the general layout. It looks to me like another package of indigenous technologies trying to ape another design by inspiration. But then there are not a lot of ways to package a CIWS.
The ball in the center is an IRST. So you have variations with 3 or 4 eyed IRST. This system does not necessarily need a radar, it can track and target completely by optical and infrared. The one with the four eyes, the smallest window may also be housing a targeting or ranging laser. Possible application? Future Houbeis for example, replacing the AK-630 supported by an IRST set in a stalk.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4
I mean the ones they had shown in IDEX like hailstorm look like Kashtan. This actually is quite unique CIWS.
I think that if it's just to replace AK-630, then a radar is not needed. But if it's used for say 052/054 series, then you will need a separate tracking radar to track multiple targets.
