The Tridon Mk2 has been designed to be vehicle agnostic, building upon the mature Bofors 40mm naval gun with a focus on defeating UAS, aircraft, missiles and rockets.
BAE Systems will unveil an improved version of its Tridon anti-aircraft system at Eurosatory 2024. The system will feature an improved focus on CUAS capability and enable the use of Bofors 3P (Pre-fragmented, Programmable, Proximity fused) programmable all-target ammunition.
Like the first version, the Tridon Mk2 will be built on the Bofors 40mm naval gun and has been designed to be relatively vehicle agnostic or deployable. Each Tridon Mk2 will have its own all-weather, day-night acquisition sensors built around a development of the Chess Dynamics Hawkeye EO system and fire-control system.
