The growing complexity of airborne threats is challenging short-range air defense capabilities, prompting Northrop Grumman to introduce a new gun-based air defense concept aimed at strengthening layered protection.
The Raid Hunter Gun-Based Air Defense combines networked control systems with advanced battle management, Chain Gun technology, and 50mm ammunition.
Its architecture incorporates guided rounds, rapid firing, deep ammunition magazines, and fast reload capabilities, allowing operators to maintain prolonged defensive engagements against airborne targets.
