Curtiss-Wright to supply power management technology for Rheinmetall’s Skyranger air defence system

The Skyranger can engage both air and ground targets at short range, and is fitted with advanced search and tracking sensors for 360° surveillance. These sensors deliver precise fire control data, enhancing the system’s effectiveness in mobile defence.

Designed for versatility, the Skyranger can be integrated with a range of ground defence vehicles including the Boxer, Lynx, and Pandur. Work under the contract will be carried out by Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions.

Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation, said: “We are proud to have been selected by Rheinmetall to provide our industry-leading power management and motion control technology in support of the highly mobile Skyranger air defense system.” She added: “This award reflects our ability to provide advanced and extremely rugged solutions that meet the demanding requirements of ground defence platforms operating in harsh military environments.”
