Germany Skynex Air Defense System
A modular architecture allows Rheinmetall’s Skynex system, a short-range air defence capability, to be customized to suit different mission requirements for its sensors and effectors.
Four Revolver Gun Mk3 guns, a CN-1 control node and an X-TAR3D radar make up each Skynex system.
Romania and Austria are two of its operators; they both rely on the platform as their main airspace surveillance capability.
