Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Engagement range Maximum distance at which an air-defense system can intercept targets. Higher covers more airspace.: 4 km

Bottom 5% of air-defense systems
Engagement altitude Maximum target altitude the system can reach.: 3,000 m

Bottom 4% of air-defense systems

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.: 2× 35 mm autocannons
Caliber Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.: 35 mm
Guidance How the weapon finds its target: inertial, GPS/GLONASS, active/semi-active radar, infrared, laser, TV, wire.: radar-directed fire control

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.: 32,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.: 3

Sensors & avionics

Radar, sensor suite and datalinks.

Radar Primary radar. AESA (active electronically scanned array) is the current state of the art.: Search-and-track radar (ACWAR-derived)
Radar range Published detection range against a typical fighter-sized target. Higher sees first.: 24 km

Stronger than 11% of air-defense systems

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.: 1

Stronger than 19% of air-defense systems
