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 erle-kun ahead airburst munitions system a system that launches ammunition loaded with a cloud of tungsten sub-projectiles that are able to neutralize even the smallest of targets reinmetall defense'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 quote 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 [Music] modern warfare over the recent years demands on short and very short-range air defenses have become ever more complex as air threats evolve in quality and expand in quantity hence the necessity for a heightened focus on unmanned aerial vehicles [Music] moreover precision guided munitions have become astonishingly smaller faster and more agile calling for the creation of previously unthinkably sophisticated air defense systems that can offer absolute protection against modern perils forward operating bases are vulnerable primarily to rocket artillery and motor attacks within military installations but the threats also extend to civilian infrastructure in many unprotected parts of the world as militants execute more effective attacks and rely on smaller but more precise projectiles such weapons have become a favorite in the war against asymmetric threats with close to no warning and often being launched from built up areas the new offensive tactics call for new defense solutions [Music] rheinmetall defense has one of the world's foremost air defense divisions specialized in creating advanced countermeasure systems and their fully automated high performance systems are an ideal solution for protecting forward operating bases and other valuable assets the company leads the global market and is a top of mind supplier of automatic cannon based air defense systems [Music] it is also the only one capable of providing fire control technology automatic cannon integrated guided missiles and ahead airburst ammunition from an all-in-one source in their own words ranmital develops innovative solutions quote for a safe and livable future their highly effective technology offers protection against symmetric threats but is unmatched in terms of ram asymmetric ones still it's more than capable in modern warfare over 40 nations around the world count on the company's state-of-the-art air defense solutions for their ground forces what's more ten countries including six representatives for nato have procured the robust erican ahead airburst technology system an unparalleled mechanism able to take out even the smallest targets in terrestrial naval and vehicle armament applications thinking ahead advanced hit efficiency and destruction or ahead ammunition has brought a new level of maturity to medium caliber gun systems plenty of capabilities are embodied in a diverse set of solutions and reinmatel offers a wide range of configurations that are being designed and developed in collaboration with rwm schweitzeige in switzerland the erikan family includes the sky shield 35 millimeter ahead air defense system the sky ranger gun system and the millennium gun system it joins expeditionary warfare forces and land and maritime conflict scenarios are being transformed and modernized to provide force protection against symmetric legacy threats and emerging asymmetric ones it has been argued that only these reliable high rate fire gun systems equipped with the urlicon ahead airburst technology can provide the affordable means to defeat upcoming modern threats the weapon's primary purpose is that of a mission abort kill to render an attacking target incapable of completing its mission and do it within one second of the strike the basis for such a mission is the vulnerability of a target depending on the damage level or utter destruction of the intelligence driver of a target or its structure the attacker should no longer function for instance its trajectory can be deviated or its warhead detonated this mechanism uses a 35 millimeter shell that carries a payload of sub projectiles after a short burst a dense cloud is deployed 10 to 40 meters in front of the target to increase the chances it hits when engaging a target the spin stabilized subprojectiles impact the heavy metal multiple times and penetrate its body even at low impact angles the ahead precision programmable time fuse calculates when to deploy its payload to release the projectiles in front of the attacker a short burst of ammunition then produces a dense cloud in the expected target's path while the sub-projectiles penetrate and cause severe damage to the target preventing it from achieving its mission moreover its inborn capacity to alter the ejection time enables ahead ammunition to effectively counter a wide array of threats in current and future battlefields and collateral damage is kept to a minimum ammunition the weapons ammunition is a two in one given that it can be fired in an unfused mode and therefore behave like superior frangible rounds upon impact capable of penetrating and defeating challenging targets the system consists of measurement and programming units as well as control electronics and programmable ahead ammunition when fitted to any suitable cannon it enhances performance when engaging fast and small aerial targets providing a high accuracy probability each round comprises 152 tungsten sub-projectiles and these munitions are deployed directly in front of an oncoming target however prior to muzzle exit the measurement unit has already determined the velocity of any given ahead round control electronics then calculate the ejection time based on this data and transmit the signal through the programming unit onto the time fuse in the shell specialized ammunition will play a key role in defeating the ram threat and what the company calls quote the rheinmetall way still it must be supported by electronic countermeasures proof sensors c4i technology and defectors such as high rate of fire revolver guns at 35 by 228 millimeters ahead ammunition improves combat effectiveness for modern automatic cannons in a significant manner optimum timing is imperative as is the precise distance and velocity measurement for effective deployment afterward ahead projectiles and their sub-ammunition charged with high kinetic energy are unable to destroy very small targets with high accuracy it is the ammunition's ingrained ability to alter the time of ejection that allows for effective control of any threat ultimately rhinematol claims that their effect is comparable to quote a shotgun shell hitting a clay pigeon security challenges the leading edge technology offers a uniquely adjustable system for optimal application in diverse missions and when engaging different targets such flexibility includes the quasi-real-time release of payloads in relation to a given target's particular size and characteristics thus providing scalable lethality ranging from deterring to damaging to destroying also the density and number of subprojectiles can be changed according to the desired outcome by simply adjusting gun burst length rate of fire and payload release point and the number and mass can also be optimized to execute specific tasks notably the ahead system has the potential to grow by hosting more diverse payloads such as decoys as payloads are optimized and integrated into a head abm rounds many other specific technical applications are possible by utilizing different calibers and sub-ammunition mass from 0.25 grams to more than 20 grams consequently the ordinance-based air defense capabilities and successful engagement enabled by the ahead technology have given its developer a unique edge in a domain that is as critical today as it was in the early years of the new millennium when it was conceived the weapon has also proven extremely reliable with high demand on the international defense market it has also placed rheinmetall among the most efficient suppliers of modular weapons systems but the entire world wondering what they'll come up with next thank you for watching my video if you enjoyed it
