The Skyranger 30 HEL – Rheinmetall’s Hybrid Solution for Threat-Commensurate, Modern Mobile Air Defence

Friday, February 4th, 2022

Laser on board: The Skyranger 30 HEL is a hybrid solution designed to thwart the full range of future airborne threats. Here, the interplay of a 30mm automatic cannon, guided missiles, and a high-energy laser (HEL) results in a mix of effectors unique in this combination. Teamed with a matching sensor mix, the Skyranger 30 HEL can monitor airspace autonomously, while simultaneously selecting the optimum effector in response to emerging threats. The Skyranger 30 HEL can protect mobile units on the march or critical stationary infrastructure and facilities from aerial threats. No matter what the initial situation, an appropriate response is always readily available, assuring adherence to legal requirements and the avoidance of collateral damage.

Thanks to its longstanding experience in the field of ground-based air defence and adherence to a clear technical road map for a future laser weapon system, Rhein¬metall is able to integrate mechanically and systemically a full range of advanced capabilities into a wheeled or tracked mobile platforms such as the Boxer multipurpose wheeled armoured vehicle* or the tracked Lynx KF41 armoured vehicle. Thanks to the highly flexible Skymaster fire control system and state-of-the-art sensors, the effectors achieve maximum tactical impact.

Rheinmetall’s HEL effectors consist of a laser source and laser guidance system, both of which are integrated into the vehicle, along with a laser weapon station built into the turret that simultaneously serves as a platform for the electro-optical sensors. The laser weapon station tracks targets automatically, neutralizing them with a laser beam. Thus, the Skyranger 30 HEL is capable of effectively defending assigned airspace with three different effectors – an automatic cannon, guided missiles, and a high-energy laser – with the appropriate level of intensity.

Featuring a rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, the 30mmx173 KCE revolver gun is the world’s top-performing weapon in this calibre. Programmable time-delay ammunition enhances the probability of hitting even the smallest aerial targets. The Skyranger 30 HEL’s guided missiles increase the system’s operational flexibility and maximum range.

In live trials, current technology sample systems for laser weapon systems have successfully achieved laser outputs of 20kW. The ability to increase this figure to 100kW is already an integral feature of this technology. The laser weapon station used here has its own sensors for identifying and tracking targets. Subassemblies coordinated by Rheinmetall to interoperate harmoniously produce the outstanding beam quality of Rheinmetall laser sources even at high-output levels, meaning that they can be directed at the target with high precision. The carrier platform’s sophisticated mechanical design assures 100% coverage of assigned airspace. Laser outputs of up 20-50 kW are planned for the first realization phase.

Late last year, the Skyranger HEL was presented in public for the first time at a counter-drone event held by the Swiss procurement agency armasuisse in Bure, Switzerland, sparking great interest from the experts present at the event.

Blackhawk Releases New Knoxx AR Polymer Handguards

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, announces new Knoxx AR Polymer Handguards, delivering superior barrel control and heat protection in a slim, ergonomic profile.

Available in both carbine and mid-length models, Knoxx AR Handguards use integrated front hand stops with light texturing and an aluminum heat shield to give the shooter a safe, solid and comfortable grip on the rifle as well as to promote more precise shot placement. The lightweight polymer construction and heat shield also bolster the handguard’s overall durability so it can withstand bumps and bruises in the field or at the range.

A completely ambidextrous quick-detach sling mount gives the shooter more versatility, and MLOK mounting points at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions make the sling/handguard setup more customizable.

Blackhawk Knoxx AR Polymer Handguards are made in the USA and have an MSRP of $39.95. The new Knoxx handguards will be showcased during the 2022 SHOT Show and will be available at retail in April.  To learn more or to see the full line-up of Blackhawk products, check out Blackhawk.com.

Maske 81mm – Rheinmetall’s Smoke/Obscurant Grenade

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022

Maske 81mm – Rheinmetall unveils new version of its tried-and-tested, fast-acting smoke/obscurant grenade
Rheinmetall has developed a new version of its tried-and-tested, highly effective Maske smoke/obscurant grenade.

Like other smoke/obscurant grenades of the Maske family, the Maske 81mm is based on a bimodular, bi-spectral ammunition concept. It consists of a fast-acting decoy module that generates intense blooming thanks to proven decoy technologies. It is paired with a long-lasting concealment module whose visible and infrared smoke/obscurant interrupts the enemy’s line of sight in both the visual and infrared spectrum. As a result, the Maske smoke/obscurant grenade provides armoured vehicles with effective protection from visual and infrared optical aiming devices as well as target sensor heads, laser target illuminators and laser rangefinders.

The Maske 81mm can be launched from any 81mm cal. smoke grenade dispenser, including legacy launchers. This makes the Maske 81mm particularly interesting for customers who use heavy fighting vehicles equipped with smoke grenade launchers of former Warsaw Pact make.

Furthermore, Maske fast-acting smoke/obscurant grenades also come in a wide variety of other calibres.
