Ammunition, Loitering and (C-)UAV
See first. Act precisely.
An operational advantage begins with superior situational awareness and the ability to translate information into precise, timely action. This station shows how reconnaissance assets, sensors, drones and ammunition are connected to form a seamless chain of decision-making and engagement. KNDS integrates these elements within a unified command environment to enable faster sensor-to-shooter cycles and coordinated effects across the battlefield.
Ammunition portfolio
KNDS delivers a comprehensive range of advanced ammunition designed to meet modern operational requirements. The portfolio includes 155mm artillery rounds (LU family, BONUS and KATANA), 120mm tank ammunition, and medium-caliber munitions from 20 to 40mm.
MATARIS loitering munitions
Ammunition
KNDS offers a range of loitering munitions. They represent a new generation of smart munitions, remotely guided to their target with enhanced precision and unmatched operational flexibility. Four types of loitering munitions are offered: MT-10, MX-10 DAMOCLES, MV-25 OSKAR, MV-100 VELOCE.
Key features:
- Compact, modular and interoperable
- Designed for close combat and supporting artillery in its neutralization efforts
- MT-10: short range (up to 10km), ultra-low acoustic signature and accurate navigation, 550g military head
- MX-10 DAMOCLES: quadcopter, short range (up to 10km), 550g military head
- MV-25 OSKAR: fixed-wing, up to 25km, 550g military head
- MV-100 VELOCE: high velocity, anti-tank explosively formed penetrator charge, medium-range (up to 100km)
Counter-UAV
Effectors
Counter-UAV defense has become a decisive requirement for modern land operations, where threats range from small commercial drones to coordinated swarms. As a mission solution provider, KNDS delivers a comprehensive, fully integrated multi-layer C-UAV architecture — from wide-area detection to the last line of protection at platform level. KNDS integrates these capabilities into a coherent operational framework, including command software, communications and sustainment.
By delivering, integrating and supporting all layers as part of one mission system — including logistics, training and operational integration — KNDS transforms counter-drone defense from a collection of individual solutions into a seamless protective shield. The result is a resilient, scalable capability that enables forces to operate with confidence in the software-defined, drone-contested battlefield of the future.
BOXER UxV CS
Mobile and modular command post
The BOXER UxV Control Station (CS) is a highly mobile, protected platform designed for the command and control of unmanned systems. Fully autonomous in operation, the system requires no additional support equipment and is compatible with unmanned solutions from all manufacturers. As a dedicated control and command unit rather than a launcher, it enables flexible deployment concepts, including remote launch of drones from separate locations to enhance survivability.
Combining high mobility, protection and scalability – including future swarm operations – the BOXER UxV CS provides armed forces with a secure and adaptable capability for modern unmanned missions. Operators can be rapidly repositioned, significantly increasing operational flexibility while reducing vulnerability compared to fixed or unprotected control facilities.
Key features:
- Five identical operator workstations, each equipped with three touchscreens, dual joysticks, and a keyboard
- Simultaneous control of multiple drones or robotic systems
- Radio links and antenna systems, with flexibility to integrate alternative communication channels
- Telescopic mast extends up to four meters, with an optional six-meter pneumatic mast available
ARX30 C-UAS version
Turret
The ARX30 is a system providing a 360° protection with its capacity to neutralize infantry group and median protected land vehicles. The system can be used for self-protection by infantry, convoy or static units. The ARX30 C-UAS version is the last upgrade of the ARX®30.
Key features:
- 360° protection against mini and micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
- Fires proximity and chronometric fuzes
- Compact and lightweight design
- Embedded RF and radar sensors for detection and identification
- Turret with the 30M781 MPG (30×113 mm) cannon
- Equipped with the 1A/1W NATO Standard Super Safe ammunition for severe electromagnetic environments
- Compatible with the C-UAS ecosystem
- Allow the use in severe electromagnetic environments thanks to the 1A/1W NATO Standard Super Safe ammunition
RAPIDFire Land
Multi-mission weapon system
RAPIDFire Land is a multi-mission weapon system designed for Very Very Short-Range Air Defense (VVSHORAD) that offers high precision thanks to its optronic fire control system integrated onto the turret, its advanced algorithms, powerful gun and automatic ammunition management system, from detection to destruction.
Key features:
- 40mm CTA technologies (gun, ammo, including Anti-Aerial Airburst munition (A3B)
- Air and ground defense capabilities
- Suited for site, convoy, front- and rear-line protection
- Best reactivity & efficiency
- Semi-mobile or deployable turret configurations
- Optronic Fire-Control System (FCS)
