As the battlefield evolves, drones, cruise missiles, and swarm attacks are becoming some of the biggest threats to modern militaries. While missiles have been the go-to solution for air defense, they come with high costs and limited supply. That’s why cannon-based air defense systems like Skynex, CIWS, and Skyranger are making a powerful comeback, offering a fast, cost-effective, and highly efficient solution to modern aerial threats.
Skynex – A ground-based air defense system that uses 35mm airburst ammunition to destroy incoming drones and missiles before they reach their targets. Its fully automated fire control system ensures rapid reaction and high accuracy.
CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) – The last line of defense for Navy warships, this system uses a 20mm Gatling gun firing 4,500+ rounds per minute to create a blistering wall of fire, shredding incoming missiles and aircraft before impact.
Skyranger – A mobile anti-aircraft system mounted on armored vehicles, designed to counter drone swarms, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft. With 30mm or 35mm rapid-firing cannons, it provides protection for frontline troops and strategic assets.
Unlike missiles, autocannons can fire repeatedly, cost less per engagement, and don’t require long reload times. Whether defending warships, bases, or mobile forces, these high-speed, rapid-fire weapons are proving that sometimes, the best defense is an unstoppable offense!
