FMI and the Danish Defense Command have decided that the Army’s new mobile air defense system will be based on the modern and powerful Skyranger turret from Rheinmetall. The Skyranger turret is equipped with a powerful 30mm automatic cannon and anti-aircraft missiles, of a type that will be decided shortly. The acquisition is part of the current defense settlement.
The Ministry of Defence’s Material and Procurement Agency (FMI), in collaboration with the Defense Command (FKO), including the Army’s professional experts from the Danish Artillery Regiment, has chosen the German company Rheinmetall’s Skyranger turret for the Army’s new air defense system.
The turret’s 30mm automatic cannon is a high-velocity gun which, together with the missile system, can combat airplanes, helicopters and drones.
The selection has thus been taken of the latest experiences from the war in Ukraine. Further analysis which will lead to the selection of anti-aircraft missiles to be mounted on the turret is continuing.
