The T249 Vigilante was a prototype 37 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) designed as a replacement for the Bofors 40 mm gun and M42 Duster in US Army service. The system consisted of a 37 mm T250 six-barrel Gatling gun mounted on a lengthened M113 armored personnel carrier platform. In the early 1960s the Army decided that gun-based systems were outdated and canceled further development in favor of the MIM-46 Mauler missile system that also failed to enter service.
