there is still a huge surplus of 40 mm BOFORS ammunition from WWII. Now that the USAF canned the A10 platform, there should be an excess of 30 mm ammunition available too. Cheaper to dispose of HAZMAT thru the muzzle than other means. shoot it up.
@MindCrazedBanjo Chuck would be turned into swiss cheese in seconds by the up 3000 armor piercing incindiary rounds per minute. I'd really like to see that happen actually.This chuck norris invincibility gimick is very,very old.
@YaTuberculosis LoL.... it would have to be a super hardened steel barrel 200 meters long 5 meters thick and 30 meters wide..... the ball will sit on a detonator that will be equivalent to the moab bomb..... the shear mass of the ball will go through anything... including nuclear blasts..... it'll cut the shit clean in half and cause a tsunami that will wipe out all the other ship too....
I saw a doc on the falklands war (on youtube) where two british ships shot up metallic countermeasures into the air, the anti-ship missile ignored them and then locked onto another ship. The other ship was a massive british cargo ship that just arrived to drop of supplies and some choppers and it got taken out.
@badgerassz There isn't a gun system in the world, that I'm aware of, that has the shear destructive power or weight of fire of the GAU-8A, which this system uses. This is a cannon designed to mow down T-72s and it's massively overpowered for this mission. In other words, it's exactly what you want.
@Nater245689 Both uses the same bullet caliber 30mm DU 238 and no its not powerful enough to mow down a real T-72, only the fake Iraqi built T-72 Assad Babyl Only difference between these 2 guns is: GAU-8A uses round and shoot around 4000 rpm, though the gun is very heavy GSH-6-30M uses also 30mm round, but gun speed is 5000 rpm, their mechanical structure is lighter than GAU-8A so they can be used in pairs to get 10000 rpm. The GSH-6-30 is so unstable that no aircraft can handle it
@Nickael7 Nope. The GAU-8 fires a 425gram projectile at 1,070m/s, the GSh-6-30 fires a 390gram projectile at 845m/s. The GAU-8's cartridge has a longer case (173mm vs. 165mm) and has more powder capacity. Each round from the GAU-8 has about 40% more kinetic energy than each round from the GSh-6-30. That's a huge difference considering the weapons have the same bore. The PGU-14B has no problems disabling any T-72 or likely any other Soviet Bloc tank.
@Nater245689 You're making mistakes between the fake Iraqi pig iron T-72 Assad Babyl and the Russian T-72B models. Even so, the GAU-8A cartridge and bullets are superior it comes to the same level of the GSH-6-30, because of its rate of fire. If the GAU-8A is practical in such case than why it is not used as the main guns of modern MBTs, because it doesn't have enough penetrating capability to stop a real tank.
@Nickael7 A GAU-8 doesn't need to shred a T-72 to be effective. Top hits will probably penetrate regardless of the model as the spall liner in the domestic T-72 (the main armor difference) doesn't extend to the roof. Hits to the side are probably going to mobility kill the T-72 or just about any other tank. Hits to the rear will mission kill it or just about any other tank by destroying the engine and transmission.
@Nickael7 Yes, obviously. But a an AGM-65D is expensive and the A-10 carries a limited amount of them. The GAU-8 gives him/her another option to engage and kill heavily armored targets. No matter which way you look at it, it makes the A-10 a more effective tank killer and the best CAS airplane in the world.
@Nater245689 Modern tanks features composite armor on top of turret and ERA. The use of GAU-8 is limited to that, but makes it better at destroying lightly armor vehicles and structures. Btw, it was the best CAS (good in 3e world countries against cheap crappy armor), in a more advance nation is not, because of these few examples: Manpad IGLAS-24 (2004 first model release with unparalleled no countermeasures), TOR-M2, S-300 Grumble, S-400 Triumph, etc, etc...
The Israeli war ship in the 33 day war against Hezballah had this on board too but the Iranian made Kosar cruse missile hit their target .And Kosar is the most primitive cruse missile Iran has made today Iran have made The Noor with 250km range and 3 of them can sink a aircraft carrier.
@jasonthemankiller in fact the easiest way to defeat any anti missile systems is by saturating it,if the enemy launches 20 missiles, the goalkeeper or any other equivalent dont have the time to destroy them all, but this is not an hardware flaw, if they mounted 3 or 4 goalkeepers, reasonably there was no hit
@bait28 you are trolling, right? How can you shoot the reentry vehicle of an ASBM in its terminal phase that has the speed to pass the range of the gun in under a second? The GAU/8 can hardly shoot beyond 1km. Even if it would hit, the hardened and sloped surface of the warhead wouldn't even suffer a dent as it is designed to withstand orbital reentry friction heat.
@hodenriss dont forget that's a 30mm gun at 4000 rpm,virtually nothing can withstand that caliber, nor by far a tank armour, and i doubt any missile can have a harder armour than a tank
@25gamb Only the GAU-8 was developed by another company. Signaal (now Thales Netherlands, so that is NOT Thales Group/Thales France) developed the system around the gun.
@bait28 hahah bro your messed up... but that shit made me laugh! haha
I just imagined you like in a boat or something with a bunch of "antiship missiles" and then the ship gets closer... and it has the 50 (not 2 or 3 or 4.. BUT 50) Goalkeepers on it. hahaha and your like ahhh this sucks fml.... ah well I'll just go home ... eat some ice cream sandwithches.. or something.. I guess.. haha :p ah bro that made me laugh.. :P
@stavrique Goal-keeper is portable. It can be use as land base defense, mobile defense and ship defense systems. It is also autonimous which can be deployed anywhere land or ship. You can't do this to Kashtan-M.
Not so good for defending land bases... because the thousands of rounds that don't strike the target, have to land somewhere... preferably not my house.
these have made aircraft carriers an unsinkable ship. they can kill 100% of a 1000 missile attack. The carriers can then destroy the country that had the gall to try to challenge the carrier.
@vanwahlgren Nice papercrafting there! Carriers have been repeatedly shown to be too expensive assets to deploy against anyone with a retalliatory capability, as they are extremly fragile, slow and targetable.
@TehCodeMonkey Goalkeeper is the most advanced gun-based CIWS, engaging targets with much more precision than both the Phalanx & the AK-630, max range says nothing, probability to hit says everything.
2km isn't the max range of the GAU-8 Avenger, it's merely the max distance at which Goalkeeper chooses to engage, to increase the probability of actually hitting the target..
The Phalanx fires weak 20mm projectiles & AK-630 is terribly inaccurate even at short ranges, at max range = ineffective.
@indivum Nope, not exactly. Thales is large group of companies that are active worldwide. The parent company was orginally founded in France as Thomson-CSF. Thales Nederland is the new name of the former Hollandse Signaalapparaten B.V. which Thomson aquired from Phillips in 1990.
If Goalkeeper is so effective does one really need what is called the "layered" approach? Why spend money on anti missile missiles if all incoming anti ship missiles can be dealt with by a CIWS?
If anyone would actually pay attention to the narrator, they would hear this at 2:06
"Goalkeeper is a development of two world leaders in defence systems: Hollandse Signaal Apparaten, Signaal of the Netherlands (Signaal/Thales Ned.) and General Electrics, G.E. of the United States."
@Samiosamio111 I'm pretty sure they don't use torpedo nets anymore though, and I don't think turning maneuvers would completely protect a ship. Jmho :)
This technology isn't a breakthrough, ever played Counterstrike and seen an aimbotter? There are seventeen year old kids that code and exploit this technology in every day life.
@Jutzujin you are retarded, it's not even close to as easy to program such a thing. In a video game, the aim bot is based on enemy player values that the game has defined, in real life, there are no variables to say where a rocket is, so the device has to be able to detect, follow, and strike down enemy rockets. Just how stupid are you to compare a video game to real life? go back to playing BF3 or COD or whatever shitty ass game you play, and leave engineering to the big boys.
see 2:05 - description fail, only the GAU-8 gatling gun was build and developed by GE, but the system around it is build and developed by Signaal and is now called Thales Nederland.
Wow Chuck Norris is getting kind of old now.Just shows you how lamb people in the US are.Followers with no real moral root.foundation straight garbage.
This "managerial" video is very nice, but the reality is that the majority of noses of finalizes generatión are resigning the systems ciws. In order that CIWS? Alone when they have a scope of 3000-4000 meters and the warehouses(deposits) 1500-2000 you bleat, in order that a system with which you have to move the ship (impossible if they attack you from different directions .Actualmente it is more usefully to take 40 or 50 ESSM or similar for defense of point.
We had a General Electric blender. It was so good it wouldn't quit, lasted longer than my Dad (RIP). This thing looks damn good but what about the AK-630M-2. What ever you choose I bet they both julienne really well.
I disagree. The Russian AK-630, which has twice the range and a higher rate of fire (5000 rounds per minute compared to the Goalkeeper's 4200 rounds per minute) is in my opinion also the most anvanced CIWS in the world today. Even the American Phalanx - based on its statistics - is superior to the Goalkeeper.
Will these guns eventually be fitted to U.S. aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers, frigates, supply ships, submarines, cargo planes, and jet fighters?
The goalkeeper is built around the GAU-8/A cannon. This cannon was originally mounted on the A-10 aircraft. This is all from the wiki which you hinted at...
@Plur307 Ah, you are right about the GAU-8/A (albeit in a fixed position). But that weighs less than 5% of the weight of a full CIWS system, so I still doubt a goalkeeper will be installed on a fighter. Thanks for this good point though.
Lol why bother, just get a Kashtan and you're set, who cares about nationalism...just get the best you can, love how they say that its the best though..nice try bro. But fail!
@KillerAyvaz not true.. the goalkeeper is the most advanced CIWS anti rocket or small targets (air) system there is at the moment. i know this for a fact as my father is a technical staff colonel in the dutch navy. he now works for the dutch defense organisation and DR&D wich meand defense research and development. so he knows all about these projects. also, the dutch navy IS PROVEN to have not the largest, but the most advanced navy in the world.
@KillerAyvaz Yes, the Kashtan is a slower turning, slower munition but much longer range version, but it's not so much nationalism as a security question. I'm sure the Syrians cared when their AA was remotely disabled by a remote security hole to allow Israeli fighters to pass overhead without trouble in Operation Orchard. Know your supplier.
Just because a promotion video for a product claims that their item is the best in the world, it doesn't necessarily mean it is true. If you care to type "AK-630" and google, you will learn that the Russian system, apart from outshooting the Goakeeper, also has twice the range.
@BedsideGnome not true.. the goalkeeper is the most advanced CIWS anti rocket or small targets (air) system there is at the moment. i know this for a fact as my father is a technical staff colonel in the dutch navy. he now works for the dutch defense organisation and DR&D wich meand defense research and development. so he knows all about these projects. btw the dutch navy is not the largest, but definately themost advanced navy in the world. especially the radar(defense) systems.
The CAD guys were using apollo unix workstations, we had those at university in the late 80s. HP bought apollo around 1991 so that dates the video fairly well.
The UK should have put these on the Type 23s, but we didn't. Being 30mm must be a big advantage over Phanlanx.
Most advanced? This is crap compared to the russian Kashtan's system. Check out Kashtan's testing videos. It has much higher killing probability with gun-missile system
Thales is France... they bought out Dutch Signal and integrated it into Thales Group. Thales is a multinational company with operations all over the world, but it is a FRENCH company.
@stalkingalizee Holland Signaal developed the Goalkeeper (before being taken over by Thales). Holland Signaal is now called Thales Netherlands and is still Dutch. It's only Thales Group which is French. The Goalkeeper system is entirely Dutch (except the gun, which is American).
@mitchell600 It was developed by General Electric and the Dutch (not sure what company). I wouldn't be surprised if it had some French systems on it as well. The gun is American (the same one used in the A-10 Warthog), I think the RADARs are joint US/Dutch. I'm not sure about that though.
@Nater245689 It was developed by "Hollandse Signaal" (today Thales). Indeed the GAU-8 gun is used. Radar- & guidancesystems were (newly) developed by Hollandse Signaal for Goalkeeper. Goalkeeper was developed because the Duthc navy rejected comparable systems such as Phalanx. Phalanx (tough 20 mm) was considered to big for the Dutch vessels.
Goalkeeper (30mm) is smaller in size, faster, more accurate and has a higher rate of fire. (It is more expensive, though).

The goalkeeper was originally designed and built some years ago by a dutch
(The Netherlands) company named "Holland Signaal".
The multiple-barrelgun is from GE.
This company originally was named "Hollandse Signaalapparaten" or "Signaal" for short.
In 1990 the company was taken-over by, then named, Thomson-CSF, this company later
joined the Thales groep or "Thales" for short.
So its not true that it is a original idea and design from GE and/or Thales.

Just how stupid are you to compare a video game to real life? go back to playing BF3 or COD or whatever shitty ass game you play, and leave engineering to the big boys.

see 2:05 - description fail, only the GAU-8 gatling gun was build and developed by GE, but the system around it is build and developed by Signaal and is now called Thales Nederland.

This "managerial" video is very nice, but the reality is that the majority of noses of finalizes generatión are resigning the systems ciws. In order that CIWS? Alone when they have a scope of 3000-4000 meters and the warehouses(deposits) 1500-2000 you bleat, in order that a system with which you have to move the ship (impossible if they attack you from different directions .Actualmente it is more usefully to take 40 or 50 ESSM or similar for defense of point.

Kashtan-M is also a great CIWS.
some wikiData:
Two GSh-30k (AO-18K) six-barrelled 30 mm gatling guns.
Two 9M311 launchers equipped with 4 ready-to-fire missiles.
Target range from 500 to 8,000 m
Target altitude from 500 m to 3,500 m
Maximum speed - rocket: 600 m/s - 900 m/s
Number of targets engaged simultaneously: up to 6
Reaction Time: 6-8 Seconds
Rate of fire: 10,000–12,000 rds/min

I disagree. The Russian AK-630, which has twice the range and a higher rate of fire (5000 rounds per minute compared to the Goalkeeper's 4200 rounds per minute) is in my opinion also the most anvanced CIWS in the world today. Even the American Phalanx - based on its statistics - is superior to the Goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper is built around the GAU-8/A cannon. This cannon was originally mounted on the A-10 aircraft. This is all from the wiki which you hinted at...
Plur307 11 months ago
@Plur307 Ah, you are right about the GAU-8/A (albeit in a fixed position). But that weighs less than 5% of the weight of a full CIWS system, so I still doubt a goalkeeper will be installed on a fighter. Thanks for this good point though.

@KillerAyvaz not true.. the goalkeeper is the most advanced CIWS anti rocket or small targets (air) system there is at the moment. i know this for a fact as my father is a technical staff colonel in the dutch navy. he now works for the dutch defense organisation and DR&D wich meand defense research and development. so he knows all about these projects. also, the dutch navy IS PROVEN to have not the largest, but the most advanced navy in the world.
cicadafan 1 year ago
@KillerAyvaz Yes, the Kashtan is a slower turning, slower munition but much longer range version, but it's not so much nationalism as a security question. I'm sure the Syrians cared when their AA was remotely disabled by a remote security hole to allow Israeli fighters to pass overhead without trouble in Operation Orchard. Know your supplier.

Just because a promotion video for a product claims that their item is the best in the world, it doesn't necessarily mean it is true. If you care to type "AK-630" and google, you will learn that the Russian system, apart from outshooting the Goakeeper, also has twice the range.

The CAD guys were using apollo unix workstations, we had those at university in the late 80s. HP bought apollo around 1991 so that dates the video fairly well.
The UK should have put these on the Type 23s, but we didn't. Being 30mm must be a big advantage over Phanlanx.

Thales is France... they bought out Dutch Signal and integrated it into Thales Group. Thales is a multinational company with operations all over the world, but it is a FRENCH company.

@stalkingalizee Holland Signaal developed the Goalkeeper (before being taken over by Thales). Holland Signaal is now called Thales Netherlands and is still Dutch. It's only Thales Group which is French. The Goalkeeper system is entirely Dutch (except the gun, which is American).

France owns it just like Thales Group owns alot of foreign companies we have taken over. If a Goalkeeper is sold, the profit goes in my pocket.

@mitchell600 It was developed by General Electric and the Dutch (not sure what company). I wouldn't be surprised if it had some French systems on it as well. The gun is American (the same one used in the A-10 Warthog), I think the RADARs are joint US/Dutch. I'm not sure about that though.
Nater245689 1 year ago
@Nater245689 It was developed by "Hollandse Signaal" (today Thales). Indeed the GAU-8 gun is used. Radar- & guidancesystems were (newly) developed by Hollandse Signaal for Goalkeeper. Goalkeeper was developed because the Duthc navy rejected comparable systems such as Phalanx. Phalanx (tough 20 mm) was considered to big for the Dutch vessels.
Goalkeeper (30mm) is smaller in size, faster, more accurate and has a higher rate of fire. (It is more expensive, though).
