# Skynex

**Skynex** is a ground-based, fully networked short-range air defense system built by Rheinmetall Air Defence around the Oerlikon 35 mm revolver gun, first presented at [Eurosatory](https://www.edgepedia.org/eurosatory) 2016 with an open, modular architecture.<sup>[1](https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/ukraine/ua-skynex.htm)</sup> Its defining design choice is the separation of airspace surveillance from the effectors: a command node fuses radar and sensor data and taskes remote-controlled gun modules, so that legacy fire units, missiles, and even lasers can be added as additional effectors.<sup>[2](https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/01/2025-01-15-italy-orders-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> It is the latest member of the SHORAD/VSHORAD family from Rheinmetall Air Defence, drawing on the Oerlikon 35 mm lineage and marketed for point protection of critical infrastructure, airfields, and key nodes.<sup>[3](https://www.battlepolicy.com/skynex/)</sup> In its qualified basic configuration, the system features a control node equipped with the Oerlikon Skymaster Battle Management System, either a sensor unit or a medium-range search radar, and as many as four remotely operated Oerlikon Revolver Guns Mk3.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup>

## System architecture and components

A Skynex battery combines a command node, surveillance elements, and unmanned effectors. The command node runs the Oerlikon Skymaster Battle Management System and holds the air picture. Surveillance comes from a sensor unit or a medium-range search radar; in the baseline configuration this is the Oerlikon X-TAR3D tactical acquisition radar, a three-dimensional radar providing the local air picture to an instrumented range of 50 km, supplemented by the Oerlikon Multi Sensor Unit, which combines an AESA search radar with 360° azimuth coverage and an electro-optical package of infrared and TV cameras and laser range finders.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[9](https://deaidua.org/news/2024/01/06/skynex-in-ukraine-the-story/)</sup> The Multi Sensor Unit detects targets with a radar cross section of 1 m² at up to 30 km.<sup>[10](https://www.army-technology.com/projects/oerlikon-skynex-air-defence-system-germany/)</sup>

The effectors are unmanned. Each 35 mm Revolver Gun Mk3 is a remote-controlled combat module with its own independent fire control center, operated from a separate command post, and equipped with an X-band tracking radar that allows autonomous sector engagement.<sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://en.defence-ua.com/news/the_ukrainian_air_force_reveals_the_skynex_system_in_action_for_the_first_time_video-11975.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[12](https://www.armyrecognition.com/archives/archives-land-defense/land-defense-2024/rheinmetall-enhances-european-nations-air-defense-with-35mm-ahead-munitions-contract)</sup> A CN-1 control center allows two simultaneous target engagements.<sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup> In the Italian configuration confirmed by Janes, the sensor unit is the Rheinmetall Italia X-TAR3D and the control station an Oerlikon Skymaster TLCN fire-control system, with four 35 mm guns.<sup>[8](https://www.janes.com/defence-intelligence-insights/defence-news/industry/italy-selects-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> A detected air situational picture can be displayed in a remote command-and-control center away from the guns themselves.<sup>[13](https://www.janes.com/defence-intelligence-insights/defence-news/weapons/rheinmetall-delivers-skynex-shorad-system-to-italy)</sup>

## How it works: the AHEAD principle

Skynex's lethality against small targets rests on the AHEAD air-bursting round rather than on direct hits. Each 35×228 mm round is programmed inductively as it leaves the barrel: induction coils at the muzzle write a fuse time based on the measured muzzle velocity of that individual shot, so the round detonates at a predetermined distance from the target.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup> A short burst produces a high density of sub-projectiles ejected 10 to 40 meters in front of the attacking target; each programmable round releases 152 tungsten elements of 3.3 grams each, forming a cone-shaped fragment cloud that destroys a target's control surfaces and other vital components.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://en.defence-ua.com/news/the_ukrainian_air_force_reveals_the_skynex_system_in_action_for_the_first_time_video-11975.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[14](https://www.kyivpost.com/analysis/26463)</sup>

The round itself weighs 1.7 kg with a 750 g projectile and leaves the barrel at 1,050 m/s, reaching a maximum range of 5 km in 8.2 seconds; a round that fails to hit activates an automatic self-destruct mechanism, and clips of seven rounds are loaded during reloading.<sup>[11](https://en.defence-ua.com/news/the_ukrainian_air_force_reveals_the_skynex_system_in_action_for_the_first_time_video-11975.html)</sup> [Rheinmetall](https://www.edgepedia.org/rheinmetall) states the ammunition cannot be influenced by electronic warfare measures after it is fired.<sup>[15](https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-air-defenses-skynex-1935141)</sup>

## How it compares with other air defense systems

**Guns versus missiles.** Rheinmetall's core argument is economic: 35 mm gun ammunition is significantly more cost-efficient than comparable missile-based systems, and the gun approach suits close-range protection where guided weapons cannot operate effectively.<sup>[2](https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/01/2025-01-15-italy-orders-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> [Reference](https://www.edgepedia.org/reference) works frame the same point against named missile systems: Skynex's main advantage is the relative cheapness of its ammunition compared with guided-missile air defense such as NASAMS or Avenger, with the added property that its ammunition is not subject to electronic countermeasures during the shot.<sup>[1](https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/ukraine/ua-skynex.htm)</sup> Specialist reporting places Skynex as a cannon-based system used for close-range protection at ranges where Patriot-class systems are less suited.<sup>[9](https://deaidua.org/news/2024/01/06/skynex-in-ukraine-the-story/)</sup>

**Layered weapon mix.** Skynex is designed as a framework rather than a gun-only product. It can integrate existing Oerlikon Skyguard and Skyshield fire units (30 and 35 mm) and most other legacy systems, surface-to-air missiles such as RIM-7 or ASPIDE 2000 and twin GDF-009 guns, electronic warfare means and jammers, and future high-energy lasers including a 20–30 kW Oerlikon HEL laser.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[16](https://www.armadainternational.com/2024/01/skynex-counter-drone-solution-deploys/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup> The SkyKnight missile, under development with HALCON, extends the family to 6 km against hard-cased targets such as precision-guided munitions and up to 10 km against soft-cased targets; one launcher holds up to 60 ready-to-fire missiles and can launch up to 5 missiles per second on individually assigned targets.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup> Experts note the underlying capability was developed to counter small, low-cost threats such as mortar rounds, a role that has transferred well to the drone threat within a layered air defense.<sup>[19](https://kyivindependent.com/skynex-german-drone-destroyer-reinforcing-ukraines-air-defense/)</sup>

## Development, procurement and Ukraine deployment

Rheinmetall first presented Skynex at Eurosatory 2016.<sup>[1](https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/ukraine/ua-skynex.htm)</sup> In 2019, Qatar ordered the system for €210 million in a configuration of eight Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 guns and one X-TAR3D radar; the system appeared in an October 2022 video from Qatar's 'Shield 6' exercise.<sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup>

**Ukraine.** On 9 December 2022 Rheinmetall announced the supply of two Skynex systems worth €182 million to an unnamed international customer, reported by Handelsblatt as Ukraine, with delivery expected in 2024.<sup>[5](https://defenceredefined.com.cy/skynex-rheinmetalls-anti-aircraft-system-of-special-interest-to-the-national-guard/)</sup> Ukraine officially received the first two systems at the beginning of 2024, at a total cost of €182 million, with two more scheduled for later delivery; the German government ordered four systems in total, two at the end of 2022 and two at the beginning of 2024.<sup>[7](https://militarnyi.com/en/news/ukraine-receives-all-promised-skynex-air-defense-systems-from-germany/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[20](https://deaidua.org/news/2025/11/18/rheinmetall-has-completed-skynex-deliveries-to-ukraine/)</sup> The German-supplied systems are mounted on HX trucks for mobility.<sup>[17](https://www.forbes.com/sites/vikrammittal/2024/10/22/german-skynex-systems-are-boosting-ukrainian-short-range-air-defenses/)</sup> The Ukrainian Air Force uses Skynex to shoot down Russian Shahed-type drones, and released footage of the system in action showed a truck-mounted Revolver Gun Mk3 taking out a swarm of small FPV drones in a single burst of fire.<sup>[19](https://kyivindependent.com/skynex-german-drone-destroyer-reinforcing-ukraines-air-defense/)</sup> At Rheinmetall's Capital Markets Day in November 2025, CEO Armin Papperger announced that four Skynex systems are in use in western Ukraine protecting power plants against Russian loitering munitions and cruise missiles.<sup>[20](https://deaidua.org/news/2025/11/18/rheinmetall-has-completed-skynex-deliveries-to-ukraine/)</sup>

## Recent developments

In March 2024 Rheinmetall secured an additional contract to deliver Skynex systems to an undisclosed customer in Europe.<sup>[10](https://www.army-technology.com/projects/oerlikon-skynex-air-defence-system-germany/)</sup> On 15 January 2025 the [Italian Army](https://www.edgepedia.org/italian-army) ordered a first system worth €73 million (USD75 million) with an option for three additional systems worth €204 million, contractualizable within 2027; pilot delivery had been scheduled for completion in Q2 2026.<sup>[8](https://www.janes.com/defence-intelligence-insights/defence-news/industry/italy-selects-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/01/2025-01-15-italy-orders-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> Italy is the first NATO member to order Skynex with the 35 mm Revolver Gun Mk3.<sup>[8](https://www.janes.com/defence-intelligence-insights/defence-news/industry/italy-selects-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> NATO member Romania has also opted for Skynex, in combination with GDF-009 twin guns already in service there.<sup>[2](https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/01/2025-01-15-italy-orders-skynex-air-defence-system)</sup> In December 2025 Rheinmetall handed over the first Skynex system to the Italian Army, a configuration specially designed for counter-UAV operations.<sup>[13](https://www.janes.com/defence-intelligence-insights/defence-news/weapons/rheinmetall-delivers-skynex-shorad-system-to-italy)</sup>

## Operational context and limitations

Skynex is a point-defense system, not a maneuver-force escort. Its gun units are not self-propelled, so its main task is protecting important stationary military facilities and, in particular, critical infrastructure.<sup>[7](https://militarnyi.com/en/news/ukraine-receives-all-promised-skynex-air-defense-systems-from-germany/)</sup> This matches its marketing position as point protection for critical infrastructure, airfields, and key nodes.<sup>[3](https://www.battlepolicy.com/skynex/)</sup>

**Magazine depth and economics.** Each gun carries only 252 ready rounds, about 25 standard bursts at the observed ~10-round burst size, before reloading.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://en.defence-ua.com/industries/engineering_behind_rheinmetalls_ahead_round_explains_both_its_lethality_its_price_tag-18689.html)</sup> The ~€11,000 ammunition cost per engagement is cost-effective against strike drones such as the Shahed, but could exceed the price of a decoy target such as a foam-construction Gerber, and ammunition worth only a few thousand euros is often enough to destroy a reconnaissance drone, loitering munition, or a much more expensive cruise missile.<sup>[6](https://en.defence-ua.com/industries/engineering_behind_rheinmetalls_ahead_round_explains_both_its_lethality_its_price_tag-18689.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[20](https://deaidua.org/news/2025/11/18/rheinmetall-has-completed-skynex-deliveries-to-ukraine/)</sup>

**System numbers.** Gun engagement is limited to roughly 4 to 5 km, so small fleet sizes constrain what the batteries can cover: analysis of the Ukraine delivery noted that only two (or possibly three) systems with a maximum of eight (or twelve) firing modules provide only limited enhancement to the overall air defense requirement.<sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[14](https://www.kyivpost.com/analysis/26463)</sup> Within a layered architecture, Skynex's role is the cheap, jamming-resistant inner layer against small and low-cost threats, with missiles and, prospectively, lasers handling longer ranges and harder targets.<sup>[19](https://kyivindependent.com/skynex-german-drone-destroyer-reinforcing-ukraines-air-defense/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/brochure-download/Air-Defence/B200e0424-Oerlikon-Skynex-air-defence-system.pdf)</sup>
