The Bofors 57 mm Naval Automatic Gun L/70 (Swedish: 57 mm sjöautomatkanon L/70 (57 mm SAK 70)), [1] [2] among other names, is a series of dual-purpose naval guns designed and produced by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors (since March 2005 part of BAE Systems AB), designed in the late 1960s as a replacement design for the twin barreled Bofors 57 mm Naval Automatic Gun L/60.
Bofors 40 mm 3P all-target programmable ammunition allows six modes including three proximity fuzing modes.This increases the flexibility and effectiveness of the gun system, which has further reduced the reaction time of the gun and it is possible to choose ammunition mode at the moment of firing, giving it the ability to switch rapidly between surface targets, air targets, and ground targets.
