KNDS RAPIDFire naval gun system at IDEX 2025

At IDEX 2025, KNDS was showcasing the RAPIDFire naval gun system. Olivier Lequeux, Turrets Marketing Director, shares the latest on this ongoing program which brings navies new capabilities to counter emerging threats. ===================== The RAPIDFire, the first remotely operated 40mm turret integrating the CT40 gun and artificial intelligence, provides the platforms it equips with close-range self-defense capabilities against modern air and surface threats. It features advanced electro-optics designed by Thales and the latest 40mm cased telescoped ammunition technology developed by CTAI, a subsidiary of KNDS France. This solution offers unmatched firepower, with up to 140 ready-to-fire rounds—allowing nearly 30 interceptions per system without reloading. The turret is designed to counter a wide range of threats, including ships, light aircraft, drones, loitering munitions, and missiles, up to a range of 4 km. Its 40mm gun is compatible with all cased telescoped ammunition, including the A3B "airburst" round, which is particularly effective in anti-aircraft warfare and which development has recently been finalized by the French defense procurement agency (DGA). RAPIDFire demonstration in the UAE in 2024 In January 2024, the UAE witnessed a successful demonstration of the RAPIDFire during the visit of the new supply vessel of the French Navy, the Jacques Chevallier. The live-fire tests on floating targets (killer tomatoes) were a resounding success, confirming strong interest in this solution. ===================== For new videos every week, subscribe here! http://www.youtube.com/c/NavalNews?su...
