Germany Reinforces Air Defense with Rheinmetall's Skyranger Germany has finalized a deal with Rheinmetall, purchasing up to 49 Skyranger 30 air defense systems for nearly €600 billion. The systems will be mounted on the Bundeswehr's Boxer armored vehicles and equipped with a sensor suite, a 30-millimeter cannon, and Stinger surface-to-air missiles, enhancing the country's capability to engage various aerial threats including aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles. This acquisition is part of Germany's initiative to establish an integrated air defense system for close- and short-range protection, aligning with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's European Sky Shield Initiative aimed at addressing European vulnerabilities exposed by recent conflicts. With neighboring countries like Austria also investing in the Skyranger 30 system, Rheinmetall anticipates further orders from Hungary, Lithuania, and Denmark, solidifying Germany's position as a ground-based air defense leader on the continent. #Germany #Rheinmetall #Skyranger #AirDefense #EuropeanSecurity

𝗕𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗸 – 𝗨𝗩𝗜𝗦 (𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺) Bavak delivers cutting-edge Under Vehicle Inspection Systems (UVIS) – technology that inspects the underside of vehicles for hidden objects or anomalies. This advanced technology is crucial for securing locations such as military installations, airports, and high-security areas. The goal of a UVIS is to improve safety by detecting hidden objects or anomalies that might otherwise go unnoticed. A UVIS can be deployed in various ways, such as inspecting vehicles at the entrance to secure areas or conducting regular inspections of vehicles already within a secured area.

🇱🇻 Latvia Signs €600 Million Deal for German IRIS-T Air Defense Systems 🤝💂♂️ Latvia has signed a contract worth approximately €600 million ($650 million) with Germany's Diehl Defence for the IRIS-T medium-range air defense system. This marks Latvia's most substantial defense investment since gaining independence over 30 years ago. The deal follows a framework agreement signed in September with both Latvia and Estonia, emphasizing joint procurement to enhance regional defense coordination and interoperability. The IRIS-T SLM system is designed to neutralize various aerial threats, including aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and helicopters, operating at ranges of up to 40 km. The Latvian government plans to receive IRIS-T components starting in 2026. The joint Baltic effort aims to establish a multi-layered air defense system in response to security concerns in the region, particularly in the face of Russian threats. 🇱🇻🇩🇪💼 #Latvia #Germany #AirDefense #MilitaryTechnology

Effective protection against threats from above: Skyranger 30 passes an important milestone #Military #Defence #Skyranger30 #ArmouredVehicle #AirDefence Rheinmetall’s mobile Skyranger 30 air defence system has reached a key milestone on the road to series production. In December 2023, the A1 configuration of the Skyranger 30 underwent a successful testing and live-fire campaign at the Group’s Ochsenboden proving ground in Switzerland, in which the system had to prove itself in stationary and mobile modes. The Skyranger 30 A1 is a development testbed whose purpose is to pave the way for total system qualification of the Skyranger 30 A3 in mid-2024. The A1’s flexible design enables efficient testing and optimization of multiple customer variants with different radars and effectors. With the Skyranger 30 slated to be introduced soon by several European user nations, this is a major advantage https://lnkd.in/eDFhZ6GC

ROSOBORONEXPORT will Roll Out a State-of-the-art Russian System for Countermeasures Against Amall-sized RPVs at the Dubai Airshow 2023 Moscow. JSC ROSOBORONEXPORT (part of Rostec State Corporation) will present a new product at the Dubai Airshow 2023: Russian automated system for countermeasures against small-sized remotely piloted vehicles (RPV). “Latest military conflicts showed a tremendous role of the remotely piloted vehicles of all classes in reconnaissance, surveillance of the situation and destruction of manpower, materiel, installations. On the tactical level, small-sized vehicles are mainly used on a massive scale. These are cheap, but capable of inflicting serious damage,”- said Alexander Mikheev, General Director of JSC ROSOBORONEXPORT.

Thales to boost Indonesian defense with new joint venture Thales has signed a joint venture deal with Jakartan firm PT Len Industri to address the air surveillance requirements of the Indonesian Air Force. The two companies will be launching a Centre of Excellence to develop radars and command and control systems, eventually helping the venture launch a national Air Operations Centre. Thales Group is a French multinational company that designs, develops and manufactures electrical systems as well as devices and equipment for the aerospace, defense, transportation and security sectors. The company is headquartered in Paris and its stock is listed on the Euronext Paris. The company was previously known as Thomson-CSF since its foundation in 1968. It was rebranded Thales (named after the Greek philosopher Thales [talɛs] pronounced as in French) in 2000, after a communication audit highlighted Thomson-CSF's unfavorable public image, particularly among the young French graduates it sought to recruit. The new name was also meant to facilitate the company's worldwide expansion. Thales is partially owned by the French state and operates in more than 56 countries. In 2019 it had 80,000 employees and generated €18.4 billion in revenue. As of 2017, it was the 8th largest defense contractor in the world with 55% of its total sales from military work. Indonesia’s Air Capabilities Indonesia has been on a “weapon-buying spree” in recent years to boost its air defense posture. In 2023, the country ordered 13 Ground Master 400 Alpha long-range military radars from Thales to bolster its airspace surveillance efforts across the archipelago. It also received eight Airbus H225M helicopters the same year to support the air force’s transport missions. The aircraft were assembled by local aerospace group PT Dirgantara Indonesia. Jakarta is also currently offering some of its capabilities to allied countries. In January, President Joko Widodo offered to sell some of the nation’s anti-submarine aircraft to the Philippines amid rising tensions in the West Philippine Sea. https://lnkd.in/gdzaYAy3
