Skyranger^® 30

Short Range Air Defence on the move

BOXER Oerlikon Skyranger^® 30 (Skyranger 30) is a highly mobile air defence variant including active and passive search and tracking sensors and a powerful, autonomous shooter with both gun and missiles. It is capable of engaging modern battlefield threats with a special focus on small-unmanned aerial targets and combines superior firepower with the dynamics and elevation needed to successfully engage highly agile single or swarming targets performing loiter, pop up or dive attacks.

High effectiveness against both conventional and emerging air threats

BOXER Skyranger 30 continuously monitors the surrounding air space with active (3D AESA radar) and passive infrared (FIRST) sensors. In addition to its own air picture, targets from external search radars or higher order control systems can be received and processed. The integrated fully stabilised, high-resolution electro-optical sensor unit allows reliable target tracking and visual identification. The high level of automation makes this variant effective and easy to use. The integrated 30 mm Oerlikon Revolver Cannon^® KCE-ABM provides best of class firepower and accuracy. Combined with the Oerlikon Air Burst Munition (ABM) technology, the gun achieves a high hit prob- ability against the smallest targets. To achieve longer ranges, SHORAD missiles can be integrated easily.

The integrated turret is remote controlled and can be protected up to STANAG level 4 as well as the crew hatch.

In addition to high flexibility and mobility, BOXER Skyranger 30 provides its crew with extraordinary survivability and superior protection against mines (AT, AP), IEDs, highest ballistic threats (incl. artillery fragments), NBC threats and detection (radar, noise, solar loading).
