	M163 VADS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M168 gun is a variant of the General Dynamics 20mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon—the standard cannon in most US combat aircraft since the 1960s.
		For example, VADS guns were used to support American ground assault troops in Panama in 1989 during Operation Just Cause.
		Eventually the M48 and M163 were both replaced in US service by the M-1097 Avenger and the M6 Linebacker (M2 Bradley with FIM-92 Stinger missiles instead of the standard TOW anti-tank missiles).

		The Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS) is a self-propelled automatic anti-aircraft cannon used the United States military.
		As the M163's radar is range-only, it was not suitable for night operations and was slated to be replaced by the Sergeant York DIVADS (Divisional Air Defense System), but that system was cancelled due to cost overruns.
		Eventually the M48 and M163 were both replaced by HMMWV and M2 Bradley carried stinger missiles, and no M163's remain in service.

		While aircraft losses to Vulcan tracks can only be credited to the IDF/A- the M163 series ADV has 1100 ready rounds and can chew up lightly armored targets by the long bursts of API and HEI rounds with consdierably effectiveness along with reducing trucks, jeeps, and the occasional BTR and BRDM into so much scrap.
		The troops start taking fire in a built up area, : a M163 pulls up and with one short (but satisfying) burst can : obliterate the floor or even the specific room the fire was coming : from without nessissarly leveling the whole structure.
		Hopefully the loss of the M163 in heavy divisions can be made up with Bradley Stinger vehicles although ideally the 25mm chain gun would have been replaced by a GAU12/U Gat- the gun to pound away a/c at less than 2.5 klicks and the Stingers out to five or six.

		A little obsolete (their date from Vietnam) but the volume of Fire and the speed their can be brought to bear on a target is better than the Avenger.
		Its "successor" was canceled because with the fall of the Soviet Union, air threats were less than before.
		Thus the M167 (and its tracked version the M163) is still in stock and would be more than usable against any "terrorist" who ante to use aircraft in the DC area.
