Flugabwehrsysteme – American Rheinmetall

Rheinmetall’s Skyranger 30mm is a state-of-the-art, versatile air defense system designed to meet the evolving protection needs of modern military forces. This highly mobile air defense system equipped with integrated search radar and capable of integrating with external radars and higher order control systems make this a powerful, autonomous shooter. Now offered to the U.S. armed forces as a tailored air defense solution, the Skyranger 30mm offers highly accurate, rapid-response capabilities against Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) performing, loiter, pop-up, or dive attacks. Additionally, V-SHORAD missiles may be integrated for longer range threat defeat. Equipped with a 30mm Oerlikon Revolver Cannon and combined with Oerlikon Advanced Hit Efficiency and Destruction (AHEAD) and Kinetic Energy Time Fuze (KETF) technology, the system achieves a high kill probability against the smallest targets. Its modular design makes it adaptable for both stationary and mobile deployment, offering enhanced protection for maneuver units, installations, and critical assets. Due to its modularity the 30mm gun turret and additional system modules can easily be integrated on current in service 6x6, 8x8, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), or tracked vehicles. 

Rheinmetall’s Skyranger 35mm is an advanced, state-of-the art air defense system designed to meet multi-mission protection needs of modern military forces and critical assets. This highly mobile air defense system equipped with integrated search and tracking radars is a powerful, autonomous shooter. Now offered to the U.S. armed forces as a tailored air defense solution, the Skyranger 35mm offers superior firepower and precision to perform both Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) and Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) missions. Equipped with a powerful 35mm Oerlikon Revolver Cannon and combined with Oerlikon  AHEAD technology, the system achieves a high probability of kill against various air threats. Its modular design makes it adaptable for both stationary and mobile deployment, offering enhanced protection for maneuver units, installations, and critical assets. Due to its modularity the 35mm gun turret and additional system modules can easily be integrated on current in service 8x8, UGV, or tracked vehicles.  

Rheinmetall’s Advanced Hit Efficiency and Destruction (AHEAD) ammunition offers cutting-edge capabilities to ensure superior threat neutralization. Specifically engineered for high-velocity, high-precision targeting, AHEAD delivers controlled bursts of explosive projectiles that effectively defeat incoming projectiles, missiles, and air threats at a distance. 

With its advanced smart projectile technology, AHEAD ensures maximum lethality with minimal collateral damage, making it the ideal choice for defending critical assets and enhancing the operational effectiveness of the U.S. armed forces.
