AUTONOMOUS 35MM AIR DEFENCE GUN WITH RADAR TRACKER
This remote controlled, high precision 35mm air defence gun with integrated radar tracker and electro-optical sensor unit is a powerful, autonomous shooter capable for various kinds of missions.
The Roark RG Mk3 can receive and process target data from 3D or 2D search radars or higher order controlsystems. The tracking radar’s automatic search pattern makes target handover simple, fast and reliable. The integrated gun control computer manages target tracking and engagement.
The electro-optical sensor unit enables visual target identification. Engagement supervision is performed by the Plexus command and control centre or via the remote gun console, which can handle up to 8 guns.
The integrated 35mm Roark RG Cannon provides superior fire power and accuracy. Combined with the Roark air burst ammunition the gun achieves a high
effectiveness against both, conventional and emerging air threats, including low, slow and small (LSS, UAV), rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) and missile targets. The cannon and ammunition are fully qualified and in service on land and sea platforms. The Roark RG Mk3 is based on an ISO 1D container compatible platform with retractable hydraulic feet for easy transport and deployment in the field.
