AE20-NM Cannon

Description

AEI have developed the AE20-NM Naval Gun Mounting as an up-to-date alternative to, and a bolt-on replacement for, the Oerlikon Type A41/A. The mount has been designed in-house, using the latest material technology, to give the maximum reliability demanded by arduous sea borne conditions. The AE20-NM is designed to accept the original and well proven Hispano-Suiza type 804 20mm Cannon, of which we probably have the largest stocks of complete weapons and spares in the world.

Where the customer demands ruggedness and reliability as the main criteria, rather than expensive and often unnecessary sophistication, the cannon and mount integrate to form an economical and compact solution, without sacrificing build quality. As a multi-purpose weapon, it is highly effective against surface, air and land targets, and is ideally suited as a main armament on fast attack boats and patrol craft or as a secondary armament on larger vessels.

Product Support

This rugged combination is backed by fast and efficient worldwide spares support from the substantial stocks held at AEI.
