Super Fledermaus Switzerland Mobile pulse-radar and fire control system ~ 75 The Super Fledermaus is a Swiss-designed short-range X-band fire-control radar originally developed by Oerlikon Contraves for gun-based air-defence systems. It was introduced into South African service in the late 1960s and served as the primary fire-control radar for 35 mm GDF anti-aircraft gun batteries. Range & Tracking: Effective detection range of ~15 km against low-altitude aircraft; tracking range of ~10 km with capability to control engagements against up to two targets Frequency: X-band pulse-Doppler fire-control radar with integrated IFF Mk X and automated gun-laying computation Mobility: Towed or vehicle-supported deployment for battery-level air-defence integration The Super Fledermaus served as South Africa's first modern radar-directed gun fire-control system and formed the backbone of Air Defence Artillery operations for several decades before being gradually replaced by modern Skyshield -based systems.

South AfricaApproximate count for Super Fledermaus. Service scope: South African Army; does not replace a national total. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Retired, wholly reserve and on-order rows are excluded; the reported count retains any explicitly mixed stock scope in the quoted row. Count column(s): number: ~ 75. Origin: Switzerland. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. The components do not establish one inventory census date; the stored date is the retrieved source snapshot.
