American Rheinmetall recently conducted a live-fire demonstration of its Ultra-Short Range Air Defense counter-uncrewed aerial system (UAS) system integrated onto a tactical vehicle during testing at the Big Sandy Range in Arizona.
The company mounted its remote weapon station onto GM Defense’s Infantry Squad Vehicle-C platform for the demonstration, testing the system against small drone targets in a controlled range environment.
According to American Rheinmetall, the event validated the integration of the counter-drone system with the lightweight tactical vehicle, which is designed to support rapid maneuver operations. The demonstration showed the vehicle-mounted system detecting and engaging aerial targets during live-fire testing.
During the event, the system successfully engaged both fixed-wing and rotary-wing sUAS targets. The test was designed to demonstrate the system’s ability to counter multiple drone types commonly used for reconnaissance or attack missions.
American Rheinmetall also used the event to evaluate the system’s average cost-per-kill performance, evaluating the economic efficiency of the system when intercepting low-cost aerial threats.
The company said the live-fire trials confirmed the system’s readiness for further experimentation during an upcoming U.S. Army evaluation event.
