Ground-based air defence has become increasingly important in Europe, particularly amid the war in the Ukraine. Numerous EU and NATO members, including Hungary, Germany and Austria, have opted for Rheinmetall's Skyranger mobile air defence solutions. Available in 30mm and 35 mm calibres, the system offers an optimum combination of mobility, protection, flexibility and precision to meet the growing requirements of challenging threat scenarios in the near and closer range.

At Eurosatory 2024, Rheinmetall is presenting three possible configurations for highly mobile air defence systems.

Mobile, modular, and scalable, ground-based air defence systems are gaining new importance now that NATO as well as armed forces of partner countries are focusing once again on defending national and allied territory and airspace. At DSEI 2023, Rheinmetall is displaying its solutions for this area of application. On show is an air defence system mission module for the Boxer 8x8 wheeled armoured vehicle, topped with the Sykranger 35 turret. Also on show will be components of the Skynex air defence system, consisting of a 35mm Mk3 Revolver Gun loaded on a flatrack of a HX truck.
