Guns are fired simultaneously from a rotating platform. This is primarily a last-ditch, defense weapon system to protect the Navy's aircraft carriers and the Marine Corps amphibious landings: This system would have the ability to destroy all of many incoming ballistic missiles and bombs, and their fragmentation over a wide area. The ships are out at sea and are moving; falling debris is only a minor problem compared to getting hit by a bomb or missile. A land or port version of this system may be of some interest; such as a system on a mobile water platform or vehicle. The system could certainly knock down a swarm of hostile unmanned aerial vehicles.
