The complex requirements imposed on short- and very short-range air defence have become much more complex in recent years. Both quantitatively and qualitatively, the air threat continues to mutate and multiply. Increasingly, the emphasis is on unmanned air vehicles and precision guided munitions that are smaller, faster and more agile than ever: only the most sophisticated air defence systems can stop them.

Rheinmetall is one of the world's foremost makers of advanced air defence systems. The company leads the global market in automatic cannon-based air defence and is the sole system supplier able to offer fire control technology, automatic cannon, integrated guided missiles and Ahead© airburst ammunition.

Thanks to the company's Ahead© technology, they can take out even the smallest targets.
