BAE Launches 'Tridon Mk2' Ground Based Air Defense System FOR UK

Описание: On Monday morning at Eurosatory a new C-UAS system was visible, the Tridon Mk2, developed by BAE Systems using existing technologies

With its history starting over 80 years ago, the Bofors 40, although in a wholly different version, is still well alive. At Eurosatory BAE Systems Bofors unveils the latest application of its 40 mm ordnance, developed to fill a gap identified by the company in the ground-based air defence (GBAD) segment, even before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The advent on new complex threats on the battlefield, such as UAS saturation attacks, carried out by swarms of small unexpensive drones, added to more classic ones such as attack helicopters and close air support aircraft, make it more and more difficult for land formations to operate freely.

“Defeating those threats with high expensive missiles is not very cost-effective,” Stefan Löfström, Director Marketing and Sales at BAE Systems Bofors explains, justifying the company decision to develop an affordable system that can be deployed in numbers by a land force to ensure protection to mobile formations, the Tridon Mk2.
