Otomatic
Notes: This is a heavy antiaircraft gun built on the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank, many of which the Italians had after adopting the C-1 Ariete in the early 1990s. The regular tank turret is removed and replaced with a larger turret mounting a 76mm radar-directed antiaircraft gun known as the OTO-Breda Super Rapid, a gun more normally found on ships rather than land mountings. The fire control equipment is advanced, with radar ranging and computer-controlled acquisition, with laser sights and backup TV sights and optical sights for use against land vehicles. The vehicle also incorporates a laser designator for use in conjunction with units firing laser-guided missiles. The Otomatic is equipped with a very efficient fire suppression system, NBC overpressure and radiological shielding, and an APU to generate power when the engine is switched off.

SIDAM-25
Notes: This is a light antiaircraft system based on the M-113 chassis. A turret is added, with quadruple 25mm KBA autocannons. In addition, the engine is replaced with a more powerful engine, and the fuel tanks are moved to the rear, on either side of the ramp (in the same manner as the M-113A3).
The SIDAM-25/Mistral is a rare Italian air defense vehicle that is a standard SIDAM-25 with three launchers for Mistral SAMs mounted above each bank of autocannons. Sights appropriate for the missiles are added along with an enhanced night vision suite. The first of these modifications was done in late 1996, so they are relatively rare.
