| | | French translation:canons de DCA | Explanation:
anti-aircraft artillery guns.
DCA stands for défense contre avions.
From Wordreference:
D.C.A. stands for "défense contre avions", but the word "flak" (German, "FlugzeugAbwehrKanone") is also used sometimes.
"Décidément, mes nerfs ne peuvent plus supporter la flak." (Pierre Clostermann, Le grand cirque).
