Saab’s MSHORAD System Demonstrates Live Firing
Saab recently conducted the first Mobile Short-Range Air Defence (MSHORAD) live system firing in Karlskoga, Sweden. The system identified, tracked and engaged several targets in a series of firings. Potential customers from 15 nations attended the event.
A total of five successful firings were performed from the RBS 70 NG Mobile Firing Unit on the MARS-S330 vehicle against various targets, including a drone and an elevated helicopter airframe. During one firing scenario, the vehicle-mounted sight was taken off and reconfigured as a man-portable firing unit. A night firing was also conducted against a towed target.
“These successful firings prove we have a fully operable mobile air defence solution. The firings highlight the value of a single supplier being able to deliver everything from radar to the firing unit, including a GBAD C2 solution. The combination of our Giraffe 1X radar and the RBS 70 NG Mobile Firing Unit is the perfect match for a solution with first-class range, altitude coverage and detection,” said Stefan Öberg, head of Saab’s business unit Missile Systems.
MSHORAD is Saab’s response to the new battlefield era, with evolved airborne threats such as the advent of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles and other advanced airborne weapons.
