PDCs are mainly used against guided ordnance, but they also perform fairly well as close range ship-to-ship weapons and can be used for direct space-to-surface strikes on personnel. Human gunners do, however, select targets for their guns.

PDCs are computer-controlled as even juiced-up human gunners would find it nearly impossible to effectively track and destroy fast targets like torpedoes. Some turrets can also be retracted into the hull and can extend outwards in mere seconds. Most PDCs are positioned on 'arms' that can extend outwards from the hull of the ship to allow sufficient clearance when deployed. PDCs are laid out on a ship's hull to cover all angles with overlapping fields of fire, providing a 'curtain of steel' to more easily and effectively take out missiles. PDCs are turreted rotary autocannons, utilizing a set of more, or less than, six spinning barrels to spew out thousands of rounds per minute to intercept incoming ordnance. An example of a PDC extended outward from the hull of the ship on its 'arm'.
