The Type 730 is a Chinese seven-barrelled 30 mm Gatling gun CIWS.
It is mounted in an enclosed automatic turret and directed by radar, and electro-optical tracking systems. The maximum rate of fire is 5800 rd/m, and the effective range is up to 3 km.
This close in weapon system are in service of PLANF from 2003.
It equiped with J-band electro optical redar system,which allowed it to quickly action against air objects than previous canoon.
This system can track a sea-skimming target with 0.1 square metre radar cross section at 8 km, extended to 15 km if the radar cross section is increased to 2 square metres, and further extended to 20 km if the radar cross section is increased to 10 square metres, though the targets could not be engaged until much closer (3 km) due to the limited range of the gun.
Many frigates like F-22p,type-54 series(B,C,D) figates ,type-51 destroyers etc are equipped with type-730 close in weapon system.
Mostly frigates like F-22p is equipped with more than one Gatling gun.
PLANF upgrade it with 11 barrel type-1130 Gatling gun one year ago.
New version can intercept any incoming supersonic missile which having Mach 4 speed.
In near future ,if war broke out than
Type730 will become the front line gatling gun against enemies .
