Oerlikon Ahead Air Burst Munition

Modern threats have prompted a leap in the design and development of powerful defense mechanisms unlike anything that’s ever been seen before.

One of them is the Oerlikon AHEAD Air Burst Munition System, a system that launches ammunition loaded with a cloud of tungsten sub-projectiles that are able to neutralize even the smallest of targets.

Rheinmetall Defence’s mission is to provide friendly forces with the best-possible protection, and their weapon has proven so effective that more and more countries are relying on its innovative mechanism to protect their most vulnerable fronts and transform weaknesses into strong points…

As the company has stated: “In an age where fresh security challenges can literally spring up overnight, being quick off the mark provides a vital edge, enabling a swift, flexible response to new threats.”
