Serval LAD 4x4, Drones No-more
- “The Serval LAD vehicles are specifically tailored for anti-drone operations. Each vehicle will be equipped with an ARX30 remote-controlled turret designed by French-German defense company KNDS (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter Defense Systems). The ARX30 turret is armed with a 30mm revolver cannon and integrated autonomous detection systems, including radar and radiofrequency detectors, which allow the vehicle to detect and neutralize drone threats efficiently.”
- This vehicle would provide a heavy hitting 30mm vehicle that can track and destroy low flying aircraft and drones with ease. The ARX30 combat module uses the 30 M781 revolver cannon which fires the 30x113mmB round, the same round caliber that is used by the latest variants of the Tiger Attack Helicopter and Apache. This vehicle is seen paired with another anti-air variant of the Serval, the Serval DSA.
- Would sit well at 8.3-8.7 BR with its ability to rapidly takedown close air targets and light vehicles. It’s worth noting there is not an APDS/APFSDS-T round for this caliber, with the gun relying on SAPHEI rounds for penetration. Still, the vehicle is an AD vehicle and not AT.
- If you want more information on the Serval DSA (the Mistral version), please see the post I replied to.
