| Source measurement | The Artemis 30 consists of twin 30 mm Mauser MK30 Model F autocannons connected to a large central drum mounted on a four-wheeled towed carriage. A total of 500 rounds are carried ready to use in the mount. normally deployed in 6 twin mounts per battery, and has a maximum range of 8,400 metres and a firing rate of 800 rounds per minute per barrel.[source]Artemis 30 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Mauser Model F gun was manufactured by EKO, has a 30 mm caliber and a torque of 800 to 920 watts. with 0.5 mRad dispersion.[source]Artemis 30 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The system has the ability to target targets with ammunition such as 30 mm GAU-8 / A (HEI, APHEI, ARDS TP with or without tracers).[source]Artemis 30 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The system is intended to be equipped with additional search radar (rotatable), capable of simultaneously providing target information to multiple ARTEMIS-30 A / A arrays at a distance of 40 km.[source]Artemis 30 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | A mobile version of the Skyshield air defense system, it is based on a turret equipped with a 35 mm revolver cannon , based on the 35/1000 revolver gun . It can be elevated up to 85° with 360° rotation. The unmanned turret weighs 4.25 tonnes loaded and is controlled by two operators inside the vehicle. The gun is optimized to fire AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) ammunition , an airburst round that releases a cloud of sub-projectiles just ahead of a target, enabling it to engage conventional and low, slow and small (LSS) air threats, including UAVs and perform C-RAM duties.[source]Skyranger 35 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The cannon can fire single-shots, rapid single shots at 200 rounds per minute, or at a maximum rate of 1,000 rounds per minute. It has an effective range of 4,000 m. Skyranger 35 vehicles have an integrated sensor suite, consisting of an X-band or Ku-band tracking radar with a range out to 30 km, and an EO / IR camera with a laser rangefinder and automatic target tracking. The turret carries 252 rounds. It can be mounted on various wheeled and tracked vehicles. Prototypes were integrated on the Piranha IIIH , Piranha IV and Boxer 8×8 armored personnel carriers and the Leopard 2 tank chassis.[source]Skyranger 35 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In 2021, the Skyranger 30 was unveiled, which is a lighter version equipped with a 30 mm cannon and short-range surface-to-air missiles .[source]Skyranger 35 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In September 2023, a new version of the Skyranger 35 system was introduced with a redesigned turret and an Oerlikon AMMR active electronically scanned array search radar. This S-band radar has a detection range of 5 km for small drones, and 20 km for fighter-sized aircraft.[source]Skyranger 35 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Romania and Rheinmetall signed the contract for 2 batteries of Skyranger 35 in May 2026 (24 systems), they are funded by the SAFE loan initiative, and will be based on the KF41 Lynx platform.[source]Skyranger 35 · Operators / Future operators; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
