The American company General Dynamics has developed the TRX SHORAD ground drone with advanced armament and the integration of the TRX robot for air defense.
Details
General Dynamics announced a major development in military defense capabilities with the introduction of TRX SHORAD and the strategic integration of the TRX robot. This latest development represents a significant leap forward in air defense, offering a two-pronged approach to effectively neutralizing drone threats.
The TRX SHORAD system is not only a marvel of modern technology, but also a powerful defense center equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station. This station houses one 30mm autocannon and two quartets of missile launchers ready to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles. The Stinger, a shoulder-fired thermal homing missile, is known for its effectiveness against low-altitude aircraft and helicopters, using its thermal homing capabilities to track and neutralize threats based on heat signatures from aircraft engines.
Complementing the Stinger's capabilities, the 30mm cannon provides a high rate of fire, making it an invaluable asset against air and ground targets, including low-altitude, slow-moving aircraft, helicopters and UAVs. The integration of these two powerful systems provides a comprehensive air defense capability, ensuring reliable protection of ground forces against a variety of air threats.
A further extension of TRX SHORAD's capabilities is the integration of the TRX robot, an unmanned ground vehicle that provides versatility and reconnaissance on the battlefield. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and artificial intelligence-based surveillance technologies, the TRX robot serves as the eyes and ears of the SHORAD system, offering critical intelligence to effectively counter threats.
The TRX robot itself is a testament to technological innovation, built on a universal tracked chassis that weighs 10 kg and can withstand a load capacity of 000 kg. Its flat deck is designed to accommodate a variety of mission equipment packages, making it adaptable to multiple operational needs. Powered by a hybrid power system that includes a diesel engine, batteries and electric motors, the TRX guarantees exceptional mobility and sufficient power for its systems and payload.
The introduction of TRX SHORAD marks a new era in air defense technology. This comprehensive system not only solves the immediate challenges associated with UAVs, but also sets a new standard for future air defense solutions. With modern weaponry, advanced technology and strategic integration capabilities, TRX SHORAD and the TRX robot group are ready to offer military forces a new level of protection against modern air threats.
