Satellite imagery of an IRGC air defense site located west Tehran consisting of HQ-2 and 3 Tabas TELAR
The main mission of this 23 mm air defensive gun is for the protection of strategic, political, economical centers and military fortifications against threats such as; cruise missiles, helicopters, unmanned aircrafts, and air to surface missiles at short ranges and low altitudes.
This low altitude air defensive system includes 8 sets of mechanized twin - barrel 23 mm guns , one set of optical passive fire control , a power supply for making thrust and one set of 3D search-radar system.
This radar system is able to identify air targets up to a distance of 20 km, 20 targets at one time and choose the most dangerous one and directing the data to fire control system.
Fire control of this defensive system at first step tracks down targets at the distance of 10 km then by collecting the entire data about its distance and surrounding conditions, will calculate the coordination of that target and become ready to fire once the target is placed at a distance of 1500 to 2500 meters.

This 8-barrel system is an integration of “chassis & electric system of one 35mm gun” and a number of “4 pieces of twin-barrel 23 mm guns” that is equipped with “one 3D seeker radar”, “one smart fire control unit” and “one set of power supply” for supplying the required energy.
This system utilizing advanced photography sensors and processing the acquired data is able to identify all air targets up to the height of 20 km regardless of being day or night then by conducting complicated calculations, predicts the target’s trajectory and shoot towards that target in the end by estimation of its next position.
By connecting to units of fire control (FCU), electro-optic and Sky Guard while having high agility and an acceptable fire volume this has increased the accuracy of the system in firing through reduction of shots diffusion.

This twin barrel defensive system is an automatic version that identifies and tracks down all air targets at low and medium altitudes by use of Sky Guard radar.
Then by applying the acquired data, fire control unit calculates shooting angular coordinates and make the system ready to automatically hit down the intended target by salvo fire of 1100 shots per minute.
This system has been designed for protection of strategic, political, economical and military centres against air raids by i.e cruise missiles, helicopters, unmanned aircrafts, fighters and air to surface missiles up to 3000 meters altitude.
