Leonardo Launches Hystrix Air Defence System for Drone and Munitions Countermeasures

DEFENSE

Leonardo has launched the Hystrix 40 Air Defence System, a modular mid-layer gun system designed for drone and munitions countermeasures. The system, which integrates with the Michelangelo Dome and features both 76 mm and 40 mm options for varying ranges, is expected to have a prototype ready by year-end, with trials to follow. Its remote operation and dual-feed magazines allow for versatile engagement strategies, although its weight limits mobility.
