The Loke system consists of a compact Saab Giraffe 1X detection radar, equipped with AESA technology, and a control panel, both mounted on a light vehicle chassis. Additionally, it features a remotely operated Saab Trackfire combat module, incorporating a 12.7 mm M2NV machine gun and a 7.62 mm MAG machine gun.
The solution aims to strengthen defense capabilities against the growing threat posed by small drones, which have been widely used in military and security scenarios. The integration of the Saab Giraffe 1X radar with the Trackfire combat module enables a quick and effective response against low-signature aerial targets.
The system was designed to be highly mobile, allowing for rapid deployment and operation in different types of terrain. The combination of advanced sensors and effective firepower makes Loke a promising solution for the defense of strategic infrastructure and military units.
