Armed with two 30mm M14 cannons, and six anti-aircraft missiles, it is a formidable opponent for any ground attack aircraft. To direct this weapon system, it features an M112 Anti-Aircraft Radar Set. capable of tracking up to 20 targets and engaging up to 6 targets at a time up to a distance of 40 miles. However, the M111 gun laying system is also designed to link with other vehicles, fixed radar, and AEW+C in order to track and engage targets beyond its scope. It trades radar range and multi-tracking ability for accuracy, however, and can engage stealth aircraft with its variable-frequency radar. It is commanded by a crew of four: commander, gunner, radar operator/loader, and driver. It is a system that will make Blitz and Throth pilots cringe. Of note, the high firepower of the dual M14 make it excellent for infantry support, and its high elevation make it useful in mountainus and urban terrain. Some machines have been nissued without the radar, applique armor, and modified to carry anti-tank missiles in order to increase its effectiveness. in this role.
