During the interwar period, air forces developed rapidly, and to counter the growing threat from the skies, there was a need for fast-firing anti-aircraft guns. Bofors was tasked with the project, as foreign models did not meet Sweden's requirements. The result, the 40 mm anti-aircraft cannon model m\/36, was completed in 1933, and its further development, the m\/48, was ready for use in 1951.<\/span><\/p>\n

The anti-aircraft automatic cannon m\/48 is fully automatic and machine-guided. It has a firing rate of 4 rounds per second and can fire continuously as long as ammunition is supplied. \n
Riktmaskineriet drivs av frist\u00e5ende elverk, och om elverket saknas kan den \u00e4ven riktas f\u00f6r hand med riktvevar. Kan n\u00e5 m\u00e5l p\u00e5 5000 meters h\u00e5ll, och 3000 meters h\u00f6jd. Kan \u00e4ven anv\u00e4ndas mot b\u00e5de mark- och sj\u00f6m\u00e5l.<\/p>\n

The m\/48 automatic cannon can be mounted on ships and vehicles or, as in the museum's example, on a trailer to be attached to a suitable vehicle for transportation. \n

The lvakan m\/48 was also produced under license in other countries and is used by the armed forces of numerous other nations. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
