Rheinmetall Defence: State-of-the-art Artillery Technology
Website: www.rheinmetall-defence.com

As a top European supplier of army technology, Rheinmetall offers an extensive array of military hardware that enhances the mobility, reconnaissance capabilities, lethality and survivability of troops. Rheinmetall Defence employs 9,000 people and generated sales of 2 € billion in 2010.

Nowadays, peace enforcement missions require modern, mechanised formations that can conduct hard-hitting combat operations and obtain positive outcomes. Operational effectiveness means having to be faster and more accurate than the enemy, with a greater standoff capability and more potent firepower.

Rheinmetall Defence provides an intelligent combination of reconnaissance, command and firepower assets, with the accent on high-tech weapons and munitions.

Rheinmetall’s 155mm L52 artillery gun is an accurate, highly reliable long-range weapon system designed for a rapid rate of fire. Used in the PzH2000 self-propelled howitzer, the 155mm L52 artillery gun can also be installed in new field howitzers and other self-propelled artillery systems as demonstrated in the NASHORN or Rheinmetall Wheeled Gun (RWG) 52.

To cover today’s wide spectrum of targets and scenarios, modern artillery systems require a balanced mix of high-performance ammunition.

Rheinmetall Defence’s family of 155mm ammunition embraces an extensive array of long-range projectiles for different missions and a wide variety of targets. Among others, these include:

• High explosive shells, some of which contain insensitive explosives (IHE)
• Illumination shells for lighting up the battlefield in the visual and infrared spectrum
• Multispectral smoke/obscurant projectiles, effective against UV, VIS and all types of IR and laser sensors as well as thermal imagers
• Sensor-fused SMArt munition, which is capable of independently detecting and destroying armoured targets
• Rocket assisted very long range HE projectiles with ranges of up to 70 kilometers
• Practice ammunition

Rheinmetall Defence unites longstanding experience in national German programs as well as in international and multinational with innovative excellence. The company’s unsurpassed competence in developing and manufacturing armoured vehicles, weapons and munitions, reconnaissance sensors and network-enabled warfare capabilities combine to give 21st century artillery commanders a clear edge.
