Artemis 30
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Artemis 30 is an anti-aircraft gun system originally developed in 1982 and produced by the Hellenic Arms Industry (EBO) for use by the Greek armed forces (Hellenic Army) in the Aegean sea. The military of Libya also deploys this system.
The Artemis 30 consists of twin 30 mm autocannons, normally deployed in 6 twin mounts per battery, and has a maximum range of 8400 meters and a firing rate of 800 rounds per minute.
The system is named after the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis. Characterized by her great beauty and prowess with a bow, Artemis was often considered the "perfect" god in ancient Hellenic society.
