Changed conditions in the field of operations call for a close- and short-range protection system to defend against drones and protect troop movements. Such a system must combine high forces with maximum precision.
By using best-in-class cannon systems, the Skyranger can prevail against swarm attacks and, due to its mobility, can be used alongside ground troops or for stationary protection of vital objects.
Modern air travel means internet access at cruising altitude. The system that provides it needs extremely precise azimuth and elevation positioning. What makes it difficult is the combination of tight installation space and weight limits with the demanding environmental conditions of take-off, flight and landing.
This project is a flagship program for the OEM and continues IBO's work on the Lynx project. It is again a Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) system. The overall system is intended for the American market, so the project volume is much larger.
We are proud to continue our important work with the Army on this vital modernization program. Team Lynx brings together some of the best defense technology companies in the world. It will deliver a truly transformative, modern armored personnel carrier that will enable high combat power, protection and superiority for our soldiers on future battlefields.
Experience from the war in Ukraine has shown that artillery is an essential capability. We worked on the development of the most modern artillery system available — the first gun able to fire on the move.
Thanks to the network-based system architecture of the RCH 155, autonomous driving and operation (remote-controlled) can also be implemented in the future.
One component of the Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) is the stabilized electro-optical sensor system (SEOS). The bearings it uses are characterized by high rigidity and by consistent accuracy in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, because at a firing range of several kilometers every thousandth of a degree of deviation matters.
The Lynx KF41 is more than just a new, state-of-the-art vehicle: it is the ultimate future-proof platform, combining unrivaled protection with massive firepower and unbeatable mobility in a uniquely modular concept.
