Rheinmetall is proud to present the Mission Master CXT – Fire Support, equipped with Dillon dual M134D miniguns. This innovative and reliable countermeasure is specially designed to defeat small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). It can fire an impressive 6,000 rounds per minute and defeat drone targets day and night.
With the ability to autonomously detect and track aerial and land targets, while also prioritizing safe fire engagement by the operator (man in/on the loop), this pioneering technology is set to revolutionize counter-UAS operations. What’s more, it features wolfpack capability, meaning that one operator can manage multiple unmanned ground vehicles at the same time.
Rheinmetall will display its counter-UAS solution for the very first time at DSEI in September 2023.
Dual M134s? Yeah, that’ll do.
It’s a start! Imagine that in .338 hitting trenches and for urban fire support, then take it the other direction to.5.56/5.56 MARS/ 5.7 single mount and spread it to every vehicle you can and a door width UGV- electro- optical targeting will let you decrease the size and power demands so the weight and recoil is all you have to worry about. Need it for SHORAD, but no reason it should stop there….
