It was originally intended and used primarily as a point-defense weapon against anti-ship missiles.

3. Air suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

   Air line failure is a failure of the tubing which connects the air bags or struts to the rest of the air system, and is typically DOT-approved nylon air brake line. This usually occurs when the air lines, which must be routed to the air bags through the chassis of the vehicle, rub against a sharp edge of a chassis member or a moving suspension ...

4. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

   Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

5. Active suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

   An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.

6. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. The air pressure inflates the bellows, and raises the chassis from the axle. Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) is the air suspension system installed on the second version of the Range Rover. Five suspension heights are offered by this system.

7. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   Swing axle suspension characteristics: Camber change on bumps, "jacking" on rebound. A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension designed and patented by Edmund Rumpler in 1903 for the rear axle of rear wheel drive vehicles. This was a revolutionary invention in automotive suspension, allowing driven (powered) wheels to follow ...
