Close in weapon systems are the last line of automated defence carried by warships to protect them against incoming air threats. The high rate of fire required to engage air targets (3000 - 4500 rounds per minute) af- fects the weapon's ability to hit targets accurately and at a sufficient distance to guarantee the integrity of the crew manning the surface unit. This thesis studies in depth the frequency spectrum generated during firing and the rate of fire during engagement in intense operational environments. Also, with the finite element method, the geometry of the six-barrel firearm is investigated, in order to determine the factors that con- tribute to the oscillation of the barrel of the gun from its equilibrium position and to propose suitable specifi- cations that the vibration damping system must carry in order to limit the dispersion of fire in order to im- prove the accuracy of the weapon.
