According to news from the US side on the 9th, Iran's recent attack on US military targets in the Middle East caused damage to several US military bases. To enhance the base's air defense capabilities, the US military is seeking to develop a medium caliber anti-aircraft artillery system that can be deployed to intercept drones and cruise missiles. The US Air Force recently issued a request for information to seek from companies a low-cost, land-based anti-aircraft artillery that can continuously deal with air threats. According to the requirements, the new anti-aircraft artillery must meet 15 basic performance indicators, including the ability to intercept subsonic cruise missiles, small drones, and large drones flying at an altitude of about 5,500 meters. The US Air Force emphasizes that the new anti-aircraft artillery should adopt a modular design, be lightweight and easy to transport, can be quickly deployed to combat zones with limited infrastructure conditions to deal with sudden threats, and must be cost-effective. According to the news, the US Air Force's quest for such weapons reflects the outstanding problems faced by the US military's air defense system, that is, the cost of anti-aircraft missiles is often much higher than the incoming target, and the inventory consumption is huge.
