Dr. Vischer erklärt das Flugabwehrsystem Skyranger 30 von Rheinmetall

Rheinmetall SKYRANGER 30 - anti-aircraft system - combination of cannon weapons and guided missiles Technology from a single supplier = Rheinmetall (RM): self-fogging, sensors from RM Italia and RM Bremen, cannon from RM Air Defense Zurich, protected turret from RM Protections Vision: autonomous vehicle, use in conjunction with management systems, but also autonomous action with its own visualization of the aerial situation and its own effectors (weapons) Balance: coordinates sensors and effectors in a balanced way 30 mm cannon: same ammunition as the systems already introduced , for example PUMA Mix with missiles without internal dead range Cannon weapon effective from zero to 2,000 meters, up to 85 degrees, 1,200 shots per minute.

With air burst ammunition, each shot (16 shots per second) can be individually tempered. As a result, there is a very high probability of being hit, even against small, maneuverable targets. From 2,000 meters, the probability of being hit decreases due to physics. From then on, the missile, which has a dead range of 800 to 1,200 meters, takes over. Classic short-range missiles can be installed. An advanced 360-degree radar and passive infrared sensor constantly scan the airspace and passively warn if an airborne target appears. The operation is simple: Skymaster guidance system, artificial intelligence (AI) for target classification. The commander then passes a target to the gunner.

Commander + Gunner + Driver = Crew on the right: Commander in front of the Skymaster screen, viewing the situation using sensors or other command systems. Now I'll give the shooter a target. Take the control! The shooter takes charge of the target. He classifies it as a drone and as an enemy. Stroke! - Distance: the shooter begins combat when the range is optimal. The shooter follows the target on his own screen. The commander can assign other objectives in parallel. 3 kilometers, I'll take care of it. - Now he takes charge locally and starts the fight. - Fire. destroyed target. Take on the next objective!

Stroke! - Identified: drone, dangerous, 2.7 kilometers. - Stroke! Fire. - And the target is destroyed. Mission accomplished. The next objective. - Target: drone, dangerous. - Stroke! - 2.8 kilometers. I take control. Fire. destroyed target. - Mission accomplished. Thank you so much! Comparison with GEPARD: 1 cannon instead of 2 cannons. 1 turret gun has a firing rate like 2 GEPARD guns. The risk of failure is very low. Therefore, no replacement barrel is necessary. Therefore, the tower is also much narrower. The GEPARD tower weighs 11 to 13 tons, the SKYRANGER tower weighs about 3.5 tons. Remote control tower with hatch, the crew can look up, the crew can repair any breakdown or exit the vehicle through the hatch in case of emergency.

The SKYRANGER has already been sold to several customers. We are still completing some development steps, but the system is now mature. The subsystems are in extended testing. We are currently designing pre-production models to gain operational experience. Rheinmetall has 80 years of experience in air defense and the best engineers from different fields. This is our current best solution, which can effectively combat all modern threats (including Top-Attack). The vehicle itself is a BOXER. Benefit: Mission Module BOXER is mature and proven. BOXER is beautiful and provides shade on hot days.^^
