Rheinmetall to Modernize International Customer’s Skyguard 35mm Air Defence Systems
An international customer has contracted with Germany’s Rheinmetall to modernize its 35mm cannon-based air defence systems.
The order also includes ammunition and other components for the modernized Skyguard air defence batteries. Work will start in 2023.
The contract is worth a figure in the low three-digit million-euro range.
Rheinmetall is upgrading the customer's 35mm twin guns, bringing them up to the latest Oerlikon GDF009 standard, which will be capable of using AHEAD airburst ammunition. This will enable the country to protect itself and its vital assets from a wide range of aerial threats, including small unmanned aerial systems. Rheinmetall Italia is handling the order.
