Facts about the GEPARD
Short reaction time, high hit probability and combat range
The current version of the GEPARD is designed to overcome all challenges of the 21st century in defence against modern combat aircraft, attack helicopters, remote-controlled missiles and rockets. It can also dependably combat drones. The ballistic projectiles cannot be destroyed by electronic defence measures and the clouds of shrapnel they generate will reliably destroy the target.
KNDS has mass-produced 570 systems of this type as general contractor and has also been main contractor for the technical and logistical support for the system since it went into use. GEPARDs have been supplied to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Romania and Ukraine.
Furthermore, KNDS offers tailor-made solutions for training, simulation, repair shop equipment, documentation, spare parts supply and customer service on site.
Accurate and quick to react
The 35mm automatic cannons engage the aerial targets at hand up to a range of 5,000 m and a height of 3,500 m.
All-round view
The S-band surveillance radar provides 360° monitoring of the air space up to 15 km around the GEPARD.
High mobility
The engine with 610 kW enables rapid laying even in tough terrain.
