- BAE Systems Bofors launched the Tridon Mk2 next-generation 40mm anti-aircraft system at Eurosatory 2024. It is based on the 40Mk4 naval gun system already selected by many navies to equip several classes of ships.
=====================
Stefan Löfström, sales and marketing director at BAE Systems Bofors, answers our questions on this new SHORAD (short range air defense) system.
The Tridon Mk2 offers a solution to help fill that gap. It is a mobile anti-aircraft system with high-precision, teamed with critical munitions capabilities, including the Bofors 3P programmable munition which forms the backbone of the system, designed for defeating a wide range of aerial and land-based threats. The system has an effective range of up to 12km, depending on the target, selected ammunition, sensor suite and surrounding terrain. It is a flexible option for any military, offering the ability to mix a large variety of ammunition in the same firing salvo.

1944: 40mm Bofors
2024: 40mm Bofors
Some rather huge differences.
40mm L60 model 1936 was hand-operated with a maximum firing rate of 120 rounds/min 7 men crew.
40 mm L70 model 1948 maximum of 24 rounds preloaded was remotely controlled or local with a servo system or hand-operated 240 rounds/min still 7 men crew.
40mm L70 Trinity 1990 and forward 480 rounds/min 50+49 rounds in the storage, programmable fuse during firing, onboard fire control system, no crew.
40 mm Bofors still works ( with modifications)
старая школа оказалась очень эффективна против дронов, янки не дадут соврать, когда на палубах своих авианосцев вместо самолетов были пулеметы и зенитки против роя камикадзе
Hey, this one is upgraded to kill autonomously, so make sure you don your blue force badges. You don't need no stinking badges!? Around this AI machine I'd advise against that.
This is a no brainer. The cannon on a flatbed truck with APU and link for communication. With 3P ammunition it should be able to disrupt Russian glide bombs. Strange that it took so long to get the system out when all the components were on the shelf in February 2022.
Какие к чёрту планирующие бомбы? Это не ракетная зенитка, чтобы защищать небе в относительной безопасности перед дронами. Как только этой штукой начнут пользоваться против бомб под Волчанском, эту штуку сразу и сожгут.
Я не говорю, что это плохая техника, я говорю, что ты несешь бред.
They had it ready in the 1980s with the Trinity system that could engage anti-ship missiles. Even earlier if you count the BOFI of the 1970s.
@@avilhelm1697Mini Archers, did vell in test, but killed by politician.
I know where they can field test it! 😊

Can you fit it on a Toyota? Asking for a friend
It can suit on Toyota perfectly. Rather than driving with NPC+AK in the back, what about putting some naval cannon please.. 😆👍
Does Toyota produce trucks?
I think the major issue or driver at this point in history is the technology for the fusing. I served in the Marine Corps with a 25mm Bushmaster chain gun and that 25mm round (and weapons system) was amazing but it was too small to integrate a proximity fuse or any other type of fuse like a magnetic or timed delay. Once technology improves and miniaturizes the fuses then we can once again consider the smaller calibers but at this point in history that larger caliber is needed even with all the downsides of weight and volume and dimensions. We need a caliber capable of integrating technology that will allow the round to “proximity detonate” next to small nimble erratic fast flying drones. But once you are able to integrate more complex fusing into the projectile you can also delay the detonation once it gets inside the target or have the rounds detonate after a time delay to rain down sprinters above a trench or down an alley. We also need better radars able to be fielded to units that can give them a better situational awareness of the battle space. Hitting the drone is great but you need to be able to identify it first. Preferably at night, through fog, out of visual (human eye) range, through clouds. Having a small simple portable radar system would allow our warriors to locate the incoming drones and take actions (even if they have no capability to engage and stop the drones they can at least prepare in other ways). The first side to effectively develop solutions of identifying and stopping small drones (with very cheap and plentiful ammunition) is the side that is going to win on the modern battlefield. The solution for blowing the drones out of the air has to be much much cheaper and easier and faster than the act of manufacturing the drone itself. If the drones become so cheap and effective that there is no cost effective solution to stop them… then having the ability to shoot them out of the air won’t matter in the least… they’ll keep coming faster and in greater numbers than you can stop them. I’ll be interested to see how the modern battle place looks in a few more decades.
"Ammunition
Bofors 40 mm 3P all-target programmable ammunition allows six modes including three proximity fuzing modes."
40mm 3P ammunition has been around since the 90s.
@@KamiKaZantA Agree, I initially misinterpreted his comment to be about the 40 mm, but he's right that much smaller calibers like 25 mm don't have proximity fuses. But they also don't have as much useful range. 40 is a really good size for anti-air against small targets and maybe the minimum.
don't you get all this perfectly with Rheinmetall's Skyranger? I think even the 50 year old Gepard has provrn a very high effectiveness along with the fused ammo.
@@augustiner3821 The collective west is less vurlnable if many countries has developed arms manufacturing. Besides, a simple truck with a 40mm cannon on the back is a relatively cheap drone counter-measure as compared to a tracked and armored vehicle like the Gepard.
Nice adaptation of an existing system to an emerging threat. However I believe as the drone threat mature, magazine depth is going to become very important. Secondarily the ability to reload rapidly.
yeah Brazil tambem tem,isso queremos mais
Nexter !!! La Puissance Française 💪 🇨🇵 👍
In my limited understanding, seems like the guy is correct that it is best used for immediate defense at a location behind the lines of some significant importance. Not sure how much better it is than the Rheinmetall similar systems.
probably a lot cheaper than rheinmetall
@@KiingOfKombat Rheinmettal will almost certainly be more effective with its specialized ammunition and military carrier but both of these things make it expensive as hell. This is basicaly modernized WW2 gun on regular truck. Most expensive thing on this are probbaly the sensors. Cheap, easy to produce and service. Seems like a good idea considering the circumstances
@@vaclavnovacek1035 this also has specialiozed ammo. same airburst as rhienmettals one but this is 40mm and has longer range... but would be interesting to see them vs each other
@@KiingOfKombat Yes, but rheinmetal developed new ammo specificaly for the skyranger and from what I hear it is expensive as hell. This will most likely use older airburst ammo. But still more than enough for things like shahed. But I could be wrong.
@@vaclavnovacek1035the Bofors 40mm gun now days uses 3p rounds. You can just google it and read up on it yourself.
Simple, effective and cost effective...the Swedish way...
The Swedish Army use it on its CV-90/40 AD vehicles for example as armoured unit air defence protection.
Of course all Swedish CV-90's are equipped with a 40mm gun and 3p ammunition since its multi role for ground and air engagement...
Systems like this will be critical moving forward
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Nice gun.
40mm bofors is an beast in a small packages! range over 10km
Ils copient le " Rapide fire " à toutes les sauces. Merci 😚 A+
On meeting Guerrillas with 20mm guns on Toyota pick-up trucks;
"That's not an auto-cannon truck.
THIS is an auto-cannon truck."
Let's have some testing in Ukraine soon!
Waiting for 40x365mm to have 76x365mm variant, similar to Bushmaster 35x228 has 50x228
50x228 was created by necking up the 35mm case. The Bofors 40mm casing is not wide enough to be necked up to 76mm. In fact, looking at a photo of the round, it doesn’t look like it can be necked up at all really. The projectile is already about as wide as the case.
@@kevintsai29 if that's the case, Bofors 40 will just have to be modified to aptly take 76mm barrel
100 rounds? With the idea that there will be drone SWARMS in the future moving over the battle field, that does not seem like enough rounds that are immediately available.
I think it's important to remember that we're creating shorad solutions based on Ukraine's war where unfortunately they don't have air superiority nor enough armor to take positions and are thus forced to fight a static trench war, i honestly don't think the drone threat would be that high if nato would be deployed there.
So sure build CHEAP effective shorad platforms to give to Ukraine so they can stop taking unnecessary casualties (exp against glide bombs) but lets not forget to take lesson about all the other valuable things we're learning from that war and improve the rest, example cheaper AA , better mobile arty and mlrs and shells/rockets, cheaper fire and forget AT, better engi platforms for demining/breaching fortifications and the list goes on an on.
In the end tbh the key word here is "CHEAP", doesn't matter if we have slightly or way better everything if the opponent have the same stuff but 100x our amount because they can mass produce slightly worse stuff 100x cheaper.
This was developed originally in response to Indian Air Force tender for such short range air defence in partnership with Bharat Forge and Elbit systems. But they lost the tender and Larsen and Toubro won.
probably because the latter, "Larsen and Toubro" are effectively an Indian company.

🥱
interesting
1:38 quadcopter vaporized
So they saw what Serbia has done with the Pasars system and decided it's a good idea to build a truck mounted Bofors. 🙂👍

Mix of these & the lighter 25mm Terrahawk system for the UK Army & RAF Rgt please.
Gets fitted to a Hilux/Landcruiser in 5,4,3,2,....
I feel like BAE systems could of made it alittle better. I fee like this is something you would see syria
Attn ph airforce and ph navy
I don't understand how you can mismanage your Ferrari as much as this Ferrari. But also seen several CZcams videos about the mismanaged Ferrari. In Sweden, you cannot find a single poorly maintained Ferrari.
why no auto-reloader?
Drone food.
Greenskins mounting a naval gun on a truck/tank: idiotic

100 rounds seems not a lot of fun....
200.
@@kiereluurs1243 He says you can have 100 in the turret and then you need to reload czcams.com/video/NwyKleqVnqQ/video.html
The Russians came up with that idea in Ukraine after they started to running out of equipment but as usual the West will always make it more outstanding Idea
It is same idea just better marketed and maybe with less improvised and more systematic approach. BAE is after all publickly traded company trying to get customers.
I got news for you its been used since WW2 in most western nations.
both the L62 and L70 has been in multiple lorry or Dumper truck systems.
And this MK.4 version with a Scania Truck has been in development since atleast 2018.
Skynex truck mounted 40mm cannons are just WW2 technology with modern radar and ammunition. If that's high tech for Russia...well LOL
likewise 😂 , it’s ancient words
Weak design !
In what way?
Ridiculous and foolish.
What makes you think that?
Apart from the whole FSB troll farm angle....... why are you saying it is foolish, it's just a 40mm cannon on a truck for AA. Exactly like the Quad gun mounts on trucks for AA in WW II. It is a tried and tested model.
Yup, you've pretty much described the ruzzian rabble for us.
Ridiculous and foolish.
