Otomatic self-propelled PL system caliber 76mm
It was designed by the Italian company OTO Melara SpA. The 76mm self-propelled anti-aircraft system Otomatic, was first introduced in a prototype in 1987 at the International Air Show in Paris. From 1990, the system began to be mounted on a modified chassis Leopard l.
The system can destroy air targets, especially helicopters up to a height of 6000m. The system can also be used to destroy lightly armored targets.
OTOMATIC is a classic design: the driver is in the front of the vehicle, the combat part is in the middle of the chassis, the drive - engine and transmission is stored in the rear of the vehicle. The engine is transmitted by a gearbox with 4 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds.
The main armament is an automatic PLK 76/72 caliber 76 mm with an automatic charging device, it is actually a modernized and modified naval cannon, which is mounted in the tower OTO Super Rapid.
Additional equipment consists of a 7.62 mm machine gun and eight smoke grenade launchers 2x4.
Ammunition for the cannon are: PFF Model 84 (or MOM), HE and APFSDS, while standard anti-aircraft ammunition uses a PFF or MOM missile, which contain an approach igniter. During the explosion, about 3,000 shards are formed, which pierce the duralumin sheet of thickness 10mm from a distance of 8m.
The vehicle carries 90 rounds (26 ready for use, 26 stored in the tower, 26 in the chassis, and 3 anti-tank for immediate use and 9 anti-tank in the tower.
Maximum range 16,000m.
Hub weight:
APFSDS - 9.1 kg
PFF - 12.25 kg
Muzzle velocity of projectiles:
APFSDS - 1617 mps
PFF - 910 m/s
The fire control system consists of two subsystems that work independently of each other. Radar search can take place in any weather, track the target and identify it.
The radar antenna rotates at a speed of 60 rpm and a range of 15-20 km, the radar allows tracking 10 targets within a range of 10km. Optical stabilized sight to track the target includes, laser rangefinder with a length of 10Hz, TV camera and thermal imaging.
