RBS 70 NG New generation

The new accurate, reliable and flexible RBS 70 NG VSHORAD system with 24/7 all-target capability has been developed for any combat situation.

A new generation integrated sighting system, enhanced gunner aids, high precision, unbeatable range and unjammable laser guidance combine to produce a ground-based air-defence system with world-leading capabilities

Innovation runs in our blood

The RBS 70 NG is not just a missile system: it’s the expertise and dedication of a team with more than 50 years missile development and production experience. Their creativity and ingenuity has created a world-leading air-defence system.

We’ve been expecting you

With its modular concept and state-of-the-art technology the RBS 70 NG provides a highly flexible, scalable and long term solution to evolving GBAD requirements.

The NG sight has been specifically designed for a high degree of flexibility and modularity: in addition to the Man-Portable Air Defence System (MANPADS) configuration, the same NG sight unit can be used in remote-controlled or vehicle applications.

The modular design of the NG sight allows for integration into an almost unlimited number of vehicle types and for network integration and remote control.

New generation sight

The core of RBS 70 NG is the new generation sight module:

Integrated high resolution thermal imager allows for 24/7 capability.
Advanced cueing improves reaction times and target acquisition.
Auto-tracker assists the gunner during engagement, increasing the hit probability throughout the missile range.
Improved guidance further increases system performance both for manual and auto-tracker engagements.
Built-in video records for after-action review.

How it all began

RBS 70 development studies started over 40 years ago. By 1978 Generation 1 was in service. With an effective intercept range against incoming targets of 5 kilometres, and altitude coverage of more than 2,000 metres, it was a unique product. Its unjammable guidance with laser beam riding missile was one of the first military laser applications and ensured it could perform in cluttered environments.

1982 saw the second generation RBS 70 developed with increased area coverage and by 1990, the third generation was introduced. The Mk II missile, Clip-On Night Device (COND) and Battlefield Management Terminal set it apart from earlier versions as well as from the enemy.

In 2003, the fourth generation presented a major capability enhancement, entering the digital era with non-cooled laser diodes (No Freon), the BOLIDE all-target missile, BORC Thermal Imager, Digital IFF Interrogator, Target Data Receiver, PC-based Weapon Simulator and external power supply.

Make every shot count

The RBS 70 NG’s modular design allows it to reuse all existing generations of RBS 70 missiles up to the new BOLIDE 4th generation all-target VSHORAD missile.

With the BOLIDE missile the RBS 70 NG aims at the complete threat spectrum from fixed and rotary wing aircraft down to small targets such as cruise missiles and UAVs, out to a range of more than 9 kilometres and with altitude coverage in excess of 5,000 metres.

The combined shaped-charge and pre-fragmented warhead makes the system uniquely capable of defeating armoured air targets such as attack helicopters and CAS aircraft as well as armoured ground targets like APCs.

Efficient training possibilities

The RBS 70 NG employs a training concept from basic operator training up to co-operative training for the complete air defence unit.

The RBS 70 NG reduces training time on the engagement procedures to a few hours. The classroom training simulator incorporates operator drills to perform training of all necessary operator skills such as target acquisition, identification, target tracking, weapon launch and guidance.

Outdoor training is performed with the system, supported by a recording function for after action review.

See everything - miss nothing

The core of RBS 70 NG is the new generation sight module with an integrated high resolution thermal imager that allows for 24/7 capability. The RBS 70 NG also has an advance advanced cueing which improves reaction times and target acquisition.

It´s auto-tracker assists the gunner during engagement, increasing the hit probability throughout the missile range.

RBS 70 NG also has an improved guidance which further increases the system performance both for manual and auto-tracker engagements, and a Built-in video that records for after-action review.
