M51 Skysweeper 75mm AA GunGun - Right View
Integrated radar, director and gun system introduced in the early 1950s. Effective, but displaced by the superior Nike Ajax and Nike Hercules missiles. The wheels could be removed.
After visiting the Artillery Museum at Fort Sill, I returned the next day to visit the Air Defense Artillery Museum, but it was closed that day. I also wanted to view equipment I had seen in a parking lot.. This seemed to be intended for additional Artillery Museum exhibits. There were no explanatory signs with the equipment, but I could identify the various pieces. I was here on June 9, 2019.
