Basil - the idea of it being on a helicopter is interesting, but I suspect that it also has as much potential to bring down the helicopter as it does the incoming projectile. An idea I found more plausible (it may have also come from you), was to place the Mongoose 3 on a ship as the final close in weapons system, so just in case the Phalanx system or so does not get all the incoming threats - since the Mongoose 3 has something like a 3 Km range! Or just as a lighter and more cost effective CIWS for smaller ships...The Saab SA program is still going, but to what extent I'm not sure.. I know that the Mongoose 3 system was tested out and that there is still some sort of active development on it. It would be great to find out more.
