Rheinmetall unveiled a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) version of its 4×4 Mission Master XT (Extreme Terrain) unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) at the DSEI 2023 defence exhibition, held in London from 12 to 15 September.

The UGV has a remote-controlled weapon station with a Dillon Aero 7.62 mm gatling gun with a rate of fire of 3,000 rds/min and a range of 1,200 m, and a FLIR 3D dual-use (land and air) radar that can detect micro-UAS targets up to 1,200 m. Alain Tremblay, vice-president for business development and innovation at Rheinmetall Canada, told Janes that a target acquired by this radar is automatically transferred to the electro-optical targeting weapon sight to engage it when it enters the maximum effective range against micro-UASs of 800 m or less. Larger UASs can be engaged at longer distances, he added.

A Rheinmetall spokesperson told Janes that the company developed the UGV because of market interest in C-UAS applications.
