Rheinmetall displayed a new mobile cannon-based air-defence solution at DSEI 2023 in London.

Rheinmetall has already developed the Skyranger 30 and its new Skyranger 35 introduces a larger-calibre gun, using the 35 mm revolver gun design that is also employed on its semi-mobile and static air-defence solution, Skynex.

Pascal Büchler, vice-president at Rheinmetall Air Defence, told Janes that the Skyranger 35 is being marketed to customers who prefer cannon- and missile-based air defence to be separated onto distinct platforms. Given the additional weight of the 35 mm cannon over the 30 mm used on the Skyranger 30, a missile pod for the Skyranger 35 is not currently offered. Aside from armament differences, the user interfaces for the Skyranger turrets are the same.
