10.5 cm tornautomatpjäs m/50
The 10.5 cm tornautomatpjäs m/50 (105 mm automatic turret gun model 1950) was the first modern weapon system designed for the Swedish coastal artillery. Development started in the late 1940s, and construction of 6 gun installations based on this system was offered by Bofors in 1950. Various problems plagued the design and construction process and the last gun installation was not finished and ready for operational use until 1968, 12 years behind schedule.
