Highly Mobile Multi-Weapon Air Defence System for mechanized brigade protection

RAPIDFire combines the CONTROLMaster 60 surveillance radar with the CONTROL View command and control module.

RAPIDFire is adapted to both vital assets and fixed points defence, as well as mobile troops or convoys protection missions.

This mobile, multi-role weapon system is designed to respond to the new threats being encountered by armed forces today and in particular the low cost targets which can attack in swarms and can saturate conventional missile defences.

RAPIDFire benefits from 40 years of Thales’ background experience in field proven Weapon Systems for French and overseas Armed Forces.

With its powerful antiaircraft gun, high performace 3D radar and versatile C2 module, RAPIDFire is optimized to defeat all types of air threats including Fighter Ground Attack (FGA), helicopters or Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) and cruise missiles or precision guided munitions.

The RAPIDFire system has also been designed to enable firing of the STARS treak missile system, a Very Short Range Air Defence missile system with a speed in excess of Mach 3 and a range of around 7km. The combination of six STARS treak missiles and the latest generation 40mm cased telescope ammunition ensure both precision attack and high  firepower. Optronic sensors have been integrated directly into the turret the reby ensuring that the RAPIDFire can operate autonomously if required. Using various types of ammunitions,RAPIDFire can also be used against ground targets, including armoured platforms, to ensure the self protection of the system

 مشكور اخي على المرور و التقييم  

اول ظهور لهذه المنظومة كان في المعرض الدولي للطيران في باريس 2013 كما اعتقد وهو ما لم يتح لي التعرف على السعر لكن أؤكد على أن هذا النظام لن ينافس البانتسير لأن البانتسير منظومة دفاع جوي قصيرة المدى (20 كم ) فيما رابيد فاير جد قصير المدى ( اقصى مدى 7 كم ) ضف الى ذلك أن البانتسير يحتوي على 12 صاروخا و مدفعين رشاشين عيار 30 مم مع 700 طلقة في كل مدفع بمدى 4 كلم و هذا ما يعني كثافة نيران عالية جدا اما سعره فهو 14 مليون $.
