Naval Defense: Mini-Typhoon System

The Mini-Typhoon is a remotely operated naval machine gun system that provides effective force protection for ships through crew-safe and precise targeting capabilities. It is a compact and lightweight system that is easy to install and operate. The Mini-Typhoon uses electro-optical sensors and a built-in ballistic computer to identify targets, calculate firing solutions, and deliver rounds with high hit probability even under rough sea conditions. It has been in operation for over a decade and been selected by the US Navy for use on its vessels.

Mini-Typhoon

TM

Naval Stabilized & Remotely Operated Machine Gun System

For effective protection and target engagement


Benets
Crew-safe, remotely operated
Effective force protection for
large ships
Effective target acquisition
Pinpoint accuracy
Compact and lightweight
Easy installation and simple
operation

Precision Engagement
The Mini-Typhoon is a lightweight,
naval, stabilized and remoteoperated machine gun system.
The system provides crew-safe
operation enabling force protection
and precision engagement. The
Mini-Typhoon is an optimal
solution for small, fast patrol
boats, signicantly enhancing hit
probability under rough conditions.
The Mini-Typhoon can also
function as perimeter protection for
larger vessels.
Effective Operation
The Mini-Typhoon weapon mount
is remotely operated through an
operator console conveniently
located elsewhere on the ship.
Operation sequence includes
surveillance, target identication,
tracking and engagement. The
built-in computer calculates a ring
solution based on target and ownship data, as well as environmental

factors, feeding the gun mount with


lead angle and super-elevation that
result in high hit probability. The
Mini-Typhoon can be operated as
a stand-alone system relying on
its own sensors and controls or
alternatively, through integration to
other on-board combat systems.
High Customer Value
Operationally proven for over
a decade, with high volume
production, the cost effective
Mini-Typhoon system provides
low-risk and high-value to the
customer. The Mini-Typhoon has
also been selected by the US Navy,
designated Mk 49 Mod 0, and
provided through a joint venture
teaming between General
Dynamics and Rafael.
