Anti-air battery

The AA Battery (or Anti-Air Battery) represents GDI's current solution to the pressing need for anti-aircraft defense at their global bases. Each AA Battery boasts twin 30mm Gatling cannons with an incredible rate of fire and state-of-the-art target tracking systems. Essentially, once a target is within range of an AA Battery its only chance to avoid fire from the turret is to move back out of its range. Stealth scanners can aid in the detection of hidden units, even if they are on the ground; however the AA Battery naturally cannot attack ground-based enemies.

While lacking the outright stopping power of a missile, AA Batteries are excellent for keeping an airborne target suppressed, as well as accurately attacking fast moving airborne targets. Their accuracy were useful against the Planetary Assault Carriers hitting their small fighters.
