The M808B2 Air Defense System, also known as the M808B2 "Sun Devil", is a a modified variant of the M808B Scorpion main battle tank.[2]
Overview
Specifications
- Main article: M808B Scorpion
The Sun Devil is built on a slightly modified Scorpion tank hull, and uses a full-rotation turret fitted with four twin-linked 40mm autocannons.[3][Note 1] The Sun Devil's threat tracking and targeting systems make it extremely effective at attacking Covenant aircraft such as the Banshee.[4]
Usage
While ostensibly an anti-aircraft vehicle, the Sun Devil was used in anti-personnel role throughout the insurrection years, and proved to be very effective in clearing Covenant light infantry from contested points during the Human-Covenant War.[1][2]
