The Rheinmetall Group has secured a contract to supply 20 Skyranger 30 systems to Belgium. The systems, which will be installed on a hooklift platform, are intended for the stationary protection of Belgian territory and critical infrastructure from airborne threats, including drones.
Delivery of the systems is scheduled to begin at the end of 2028. Additionally, the company has indicated its willingness to extend its collaboration with Belgian industry into further innovative fields, including stationary and deployable drone defence solutions.
Belgian technology companies are to be closely integrated into the value chain for the contract and the system will be fully integrated into the overarching command and control architecture of the Belgian ‘Blue Dome’ layered air defence programme.
