The primary objective was to assess the XM1225 cartridge’s accuracy and directly compare its performance with the legacy HEDP round under identical conditions. A secondary objective involved collecting performance data from mixed ammunition loads against both ground targets and UAS threats.
This demonstration highlighted the potential of CCAs to act as force multipliers for manned platforms, enabling collaboration between autonomous systems and human pilots. GA-ASI’s MQ-20 Avenger unmanned jet has served as a surrogate CCA for more than five years.
Diehl Defence presents the comprehensive relaunch of its highly mobile counter-UAV system 'Kinetic Defence Vehicle' (KDV) at this year's Enforce Tac Event in Nürnberg. The system will in future operate under the new name 'GARMR' (watchdog from Nordic mythology).
The Effector RCWS320C-UAS is Rheinmetall’s latest-generation remote-controlled weapon station designed to deliver reliable, high-precision protection against unmanned aerial threats. It provides scalable counter-UAS capability for tracked and wheeled vehicles and fixed installations.
The unmanned aerial systems are procured by the Defence Forces Logistics Command through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). The procurement utilises the framework agreement between NSPA and the Finnish company Boston Group Oy.
