Offering accurate firepower

from a light stabilized platform the Remote Controlled Weapon Platform NIMROD is ideally suited for small and medium sized vehicles. It is intended to bridge the gap between weapon stations and heavy gun turrets, offering  high precision and superior engagement ranges at an affordable price. 

To this end the platform is highly modular. It can be equipped with a 25mmx137 or 30mmx173 cannon and the sensors can be selected to offer the best possible value or superior performance depending on operational needs and budget.

Despite its lightweight design

and compact dimensions the platform can pack the full punch from the 30mmx173 caliber, allowing for engagements up to 3,000m. This caliber offers the use of a wide range of ammunition types such as the anti-armor APFSDS-T round that provides ample armor penetration against current and future battlefield threats. If all up station weight is critical the 25mmx137 caliber can be integrated. This configuration still offers engagement ranges up to 2500m.

The station is equipped with a state of the art electro-optical sensor unit, which allow for quick target acquisition and visual identification. In its base configuration, the sensors offered are balanced to utilize the full potential of the cannon range and firepower. The modular design allows for selecting the ideal protection level and sensor suite, based on mission needs and priority. 

A CoAx machine gun

can be fitted and space is provided for an anti-tank missile of choice. 

Industrial localization can be easily offered and the highly modular design makes integration of locally produced components straightforward. We can offer the finished Platform or kits for local assembly.     

We are currently integrating the KCE and KBA cannons offered by Rheinmetall in a Concept Demonstrator that will be revealed shortly. Valhalla can offer integration studies for other weapons upon demand.
