ASHBURN, Virginia. Curtiss-Wright was selected by Rheinmetall Air Defence to supply power management technology and gyroscopes for the Oerlikon Skyranger mobile ground-based air defense system, the company announced in a statement.

The system is designed for integration with multiple ground combat vehicles, including the Boxer, Lynx, and Pandur platforms, the company says. Work under the agreement will be performed by Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions.
The Skyranger’s modular architecture is intended to provide flexibility for deployment across different vehicle types while maintaining effective target engagement and sensor integration, according to the statement.
