History
The Akan m/75 is one of the most powerful cannons used as the primary weapon on a dedicated fighter aircraft. This gas-operated, single barrel, revolver cannon was designed off the Swiss Oerliken KCA and mounted in a conformal gun pod on the JA37C. It fires a 30x173 mm shell that is 50% heavier than the NATO standard 30 mm shell found in other designs. On the JA37, the pod carries the cannon along with 120 rounds of ammunition.
