In contemporary conflicts, where the threat is often asymmetric, attacks can come at any time and any place - especially from above.
In today's and future conflicts, aerial attacks continue to pose a major threat to troop concentrations, military bases, civilian population centres and critical civilian infrastructure. Rheinmetall offers a wide array of sophisticated air defence solutions, which include the Oerlikon X-TAR3D search radar.
