Antiaircraft artillery (AAA) is a type of 
artillery that specializes in the interdiction and destruction of 
aircraft.  Typically the guns range from 25mm to 90mm bores, often mounted in groups of 2 or 4, are capable of being elevated all the way to vertical, and have some sort of speedy and responsive tracking/aiming system.
