General Dynamics Land Systems showcased at AUSA 2025 the Pandur SHORAD, a new version of the Pandur Evo platform developed for short-range air defense.
The vehicle is designed to accompany infantry units during combat operations, protecting them against drones, helicopters, and other aerial threats.
The system uses the RIwP turret from Moog, which allows integration of different types of armaments, such as the XM914 30 mm autocannon and Stinger, APKWS, and Hellfire missiles. Powered by a 455-horsepower Cummins ISLe diesel engine and equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, the Pandur SHORAD reaches speeds over 105 km/h and has a range of up to 640 km.
With armor compliant with the STANAG 4569 standard, the vehicle can be transported by C-130 aircraft thanks to its RO/RO capability, facilitating rapid deployment in conflict zones. In addition to its air defense role, the platform can also be configured for fire support or special operations, receiving different combat modules according to the mission.
