The Portuguese Army has announced on its social media channels that it has selected Thales’ RapidRanger as its new air defence system. Captain Filipe Gonçalves introduced the new system in a video marking Army Day celebrations at a national exhibition.
Thales responded to a December 2023 tender to replace Portugal’s retired Chaparral air defence system.
RapidRanger is a vehicle based system with day, low light and thermal imaging cameras, an automatic target tracker and a 360-degree surveillance sensor.
