The Oerlikon Skyshield® Air Defence System – Countering the Threat from Above

In contemporary conflicts, where the threat is often asymmetric, attacks can come at any time and any place - especially from above. Countermeasures are becoming increasingly expensive. Modern air defence systems therefore have to be able to counter threats effectively and at an affordable price - the core competence of Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (RAD) in Zurich. The company's comprehensive portfolio includes a full range of fire control technology, radar and electro-optical sensor systems as well as weapons and ammunition. RAD systems cover the complete kill chain, from target detection, identification and tracking to engagement and neutralisation. For more information, please download this free white paper.
