Rheinmetall demonstrates Skynex 35mm Air Defense Gun System to counter swarm of drones
Німецький концерн Rheinmetall представив систему протиповітряної оборони Skynex для боротьби з авіацією.
Про це повідомляє Мілітарний з посиланням на концерн Rheinmetall.
Компанія продемонструвала встановлену на вантажівці версію системи протиповітряної оборони Skynex, оснащену 35-мм гарматою Oerlikon Mk3.
Skynex – це найновіша концепція протиповітряної оборони Rheinmetall, яка встановлює нові стандарти своєю унікальною та відкритою архітектурою.
Система ППО Rheinmetall Skynex продемонструвала свою здатність вражати та знищувати рій із восьми невеликих дронів.
Технологія включає систему управління та контролю Oerlikon Skymaster.
До Skynex можна під’єднати інше обладнання та системи озброєння, у тому числі радар виявлення Oerlikon X-TAR3D Tactical, 35-мм спарену гармату Oerlikon GDF009 TREO, лазерну гармату Oerlikon та нову ракету Denel Cheetah C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar).
35-мм гармата Oerlikon Mk3, що використовується в системі ППО Skynex, має ефективну дальність стрільби 4000 метрів та скорострільність 1000 пострілів за хвилину.
Гарматний модуль оснащений радаром стеження X-Band, який забезпечує функцію автономного пошуку сектора, що робить наведення простим та швидким.

Стеження та ураження виконуються автоматично завдяки вбудованим процесором управління вогнем. Системою можна дистанційно керувати з іншого місця. Oerlikon Skymaster – це універсальне рішення для командування та управління, яке значно розширює можливості наземної протиповітряної оборони.

Його основні експлуатаційні переваги – це відображення загальної комплексної повітряної картини на основі всіх доступних джерел інформації, ефективна оцінка загроз у реальному часі та алгоритм призначення інтелектуальної зброї, координація різнорідних систем зброї та управління вогнем у гнучкій системній архітектурі.
Нагадаємо, нещодавно компанія General Dynamics Land Systems уклала зі стартапом Epirus угоду про інтеграцію її імпульсної електромагнітної зброї Leonidas на бронемашину Stryker, яка має теж знешкоджувати дрони.

The Rheinmetall Oerlikon Millennium Gun or Rheinmetall GDM-008 is a close-in weapon system designed by Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (formerly known as Oerlikon Contraves) for mounting on ships. It is based on the 35/1000 revolver gun land-based air defense system and uses AHEAD ammunition.
Description
A device at the muzzle end of the barrel measures the exact speed of each round as it is fired, and automatically sets the fuse to detonate the round as it approaches a pre-set distance from the target. Each round disperses 152 small tungsten projectiles[3][4] weighing 3.3 grams (0.12 oz) each to form a lethal cone-shaped cloud to strike the incoming target.[2] Whilst these are too small to do major damage in themselves, the accumulation of damage from multiple strikes is expected to destroy wings and control surfaces, sensors and aerodynamics, causing the target to crash. Other firing modes are designed to be effective against surface targets such as small fast attack boats.
The weapon is designed to be controlled by an external fire-control system using either radar or electro-optical trackers. It is fitted with an optional onboard observation TV camera which relays imagery to an operator console from which it can also be aimed and fired in an emergency mode. The computer system uses an open architecture and is claimed to be compatible with many existing fire control systems.
The gun's ammunition capacity allows it to engage 10 anti-ship missiles or 20 surface targets.[2]

The Skynex® is the latest air defense concept of Rheinmetall and sets new standards with its unique and open architecture. The system includes the Oerlikon Skymaster® Command & Control System and the Oerlikon Revolver 30mm Gun Mk3. Other equipment and weapon systems can be connected to the Skynex including the Oerlikon X-TAR3D Tactical acquisition radar, Oerlikon 35mm Twin Gun GDF009 TREO, the Oerlikon Laser Gun and the new Denel Cheetah C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar) missile.
The Oerlikon 35mm Revolver Gun Mk3 used with the Skynex air defense system has an effective range of 4,000 meters and has a rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute. The gun module is fitted with an X-Band tracking radar that allows an autonomous sector search function which makes target designation simple, fast and reliable. Tracking and engagement is calculated and executed automatically by the integrated fire control processor. The target designation and engagement is overwatched and checked by the Oerlikon Skymaster® Command & Control System which can be remotely controlled from another position.
The Oerlikon Skymaster® is a versatile command and control (C2) solution for different levels of command that significantly enhances ground-based air defense operational capabilities. Its main operational benefits are the display of a common comprehensive air picture based on all available information sources, an effective real-time threat evaluation and smart weapon assignment algorithm, heterogeneous weapon systems coordination and fire control in a flexible system architecture.
The Skynex can also use the X-TAR3D three-dimensional tactical acquisition radar operating in the X-band and performing the functions of short-range search, detection, acquisition, tracking, classification and identification of air targets, enabling it to supply a three-dimensional local air picture to the command and control network as well as to track threat data for cueing fire control systems. The radar is specifically designed for maximum effectiveness against a wide array of air threats, ranging from conventional air-breathing targets (fixed-wing, helicopters) to low and very low cross-section objects such as stealth and unmanned targets (UAVs, cruise missiles), as well as rockets and mortar rounds (C-RAM capability).
