Description

The BOXER SKYRANGER 30 is a German Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) designed to effectively defend against drone attacks and other aerial threats in contemporary scenarios. This highly mobile air defense system features integrated active search and passive tracking sensors. Equipped with both guns and missiles, it serves as a powerful autonomous shooter capable of engaging various modern battlefield threats, particularly focusing on small uncrewed targets. The BOXER SKYRANGER 30 combines superior firepower with the necessary dynamics and elevation to successfully target highly agile single or swarming threats that perform loitering, pop-up, or dive attacks. Rheinmetall offers the most lethal, mobile, and well-protected wheeled air defense platform available. Over 1,300 BOXER vehicles in twenty different versions are currently under contract with four NATO member states: Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, as well as Australia. To date, Germany and Austria have ordered a total of 55 SKYRANGER 30 units.
