An update to the famed autonomous gun turret, the RAPIDFire, was recently showcased by its makers in the Euronaval 2022 event, delivering new features for its defense technology for all.

The latest delivery of the United States and French companies, Nexter, and Thales, brings new information for what it worked on for the past month, with the new turret capable of better features.

RAPIDFire Turret Delivers New Design and Features for All

A French company, the Nexter Group, announced via a press release that they, and a partner company, Thales, developed an update for its automated gun turret which features new technology for all. Its RAPIDFire turret for naval boats and warships is now capable of targetting multiple bogeys at once, and eliminating them once confirmed hostile.

According to Interesting Engineering, the companies announced their new technology via the Euronaval 2022 showcase last week, delivering the new tech to its audience and the world.

It can counter close surface threats, as well as aerial ones which come within the vicinity of the turret, up to 4,000 meters.

Nexter, Thales Turret Can Take Down Drone Swarms

The new defense system can target and bring down drone swarms that come near it, readily available with its rack of 140 ammunition on its turrets. The company said that its turrets are accurate and can take down hostile vehicles or technology with its Anti Aerial Airburst (A3B) munitions.

Nexter and Thales' technology can effectively eliminate threats without casualties or causing collateral damage to nearby areas for naval boats.

Defense Technology Available in the World

Many develop defense technology in the world, and known Big Tech companies are also delivering different innovations for military partners or recipients would deliver for all. One of these companies is Microsoft, particularly with the latest army goggles which it delivered for the US, but failed to bring its features and fell shorthand.

General Motors is also one to deliver for the US military, centering on its Ultium battery packs which center on electric mobility for the transportation system of the troops.

Different developments bring the world many of its needs in terms of warfare and defense requirements, necessary for yet unknown fights to happen when tensions arise.

Japan is also one to manufacture defense technology for all, with readily-available fighter jets that can export to countries that need it.

The new RAPIDFire turret from Nexter and Thales aims to bring technological advancement for weaponry to the seas, equipping the military's naval boats with arms to defend against drone swarms. The latest automated gun turret is capable of massive things for its users, soon to be available for many to include for their needs.
