Giraffe 1X MSHORAD
In an operational scenario, a vehicle with Giraffe 1X first manoeuvres to a secure position some distance behind the unit.

The command and control system (C2) creates a local air picture, evaluates the threat and provides automatic engagement support.
MSHORAD
Once data is received, RBS 70 NG’s missiles engage within five seconds. The product also features visual 3D cueing.

For any vehicle

Small, lightweight and man-portable, each component can be easily installed onto any vehicle platform for exceptionally versatile deployment. The solution’s modular design means it is incredibly flexible and can be installed alongside existing equipment.
