Project Skyranger 30
Overview
The changed conditions in the area of operations require a so-called close and short-range protection system to defend against drones and protect troop movements. Such a system must combine high forces with maximum precision.
Development
IBO is involved in the development of all the tower's bearing points. Our expertise in the area of lateral rotary and swivel axes solved the requirements for the mountability and localization of the drive gearing. The time pressure, which did not allow for typical project phases, should be emphasized. Nevertheless, IBO was able to implement all requirements in a solution using its own knowledge of the overall application.
Result
The first prototype was tested and no product improvements were necessary. After completion of the pre-series phase, our solution reached series production status.
