The GA-35 is a South African licensed copy of the Swiss Oerlikon GDF developed by Lyttelton Engineering with a combined cyclic rate of 1,100 rpm. It has different ammunition for use against ground or air targets and fed by 230 round belts. It was used on the ZA-35 SPAA prototype but also used by South African Navy Valor-class frigates as a dual-purpose gun.
