Chess Dynamics and BAE Systems Bofors collaborate on Tridon Mk2

Chess Dynamics has announced a successful collaboration with BAE Systems Bofors for the fire control element of the Tridon Mk2. This next generation 40mm anti-aircraft system incorporates Chess’ air defence system technology to protect military forces and civil infrastructure from drones and aircraft across large areas.

The Tridon Mk2 fire control system is a variant of Chess’ Hawkeye Air Defence (AD) system, which features thermal imaging and daylight TV sensors, coupled with a laser range finder, co-mounted on a dynamic direct-drive positioner. The built-in tracker is designed to provide precise 3-D coordinates of both air and surface targets to gun control or combat systems.
