Highly Mobile Multi-Weapon Air Defence System for mechanized brigade protection
RAPIDFirecombines the CONTROLMaster 60 surveillance radar with the CONTROLView command and control module.
RAPIDFire isadapted to both vital assets and fixed points defence, as well as mobile troopsor 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 Systemsfor French and overseas Armed Forces.
Withits powerful antiaircraft gun, high performace 3D radar and versatile C2module, 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 STARStreak 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 STARStreak 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 thereby 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
