Chess Dynamics has announced a successful collaboration with BAE Systems Bofors on the fire control element of the Tridon Mk2. This next-generation 40mm anti-aircraft system marks a significant advancement in firepower and operational capability, incorporating Chess’ leading air defense system technology.
Building upon the legacy of the original Tridon system, renowned for its dependability, the Tridon Mk2 offers enhanced capabilities to counter a wide range of threats, from drones to aircraft. It provides robust security and protection for military forces and civil infrastructure across large areas.
Chess Dynamics’ expertise in surveillance, fire control, and precision positioning has been instrumental in delivering accurate live target coordinates to the Tridon Mk2 for its ground-based air defense (GBAD) role.
The Tridon Mk2 fire control system is a variant of Chess’ Hawkeye Air Defense (AD) system. The Hawkeye AD system offers an integrated fire control solution for all types of ballistic effectors. It features a high-definition thermal imager, daylight TV sensors, and a high-performance laser range finder, all co-mounted on a dynamic direct-drive positioner. With a built-in tracker, the Hawkeye AD system provides precise 3-D coordinates of air and surface targets to gun control or combat systems.
“We are incredibly proud to work with BAE Systems Bofors on this critical project,” said David Tuddenham, Managing Director at Chess Dynamics. “Our Electro-Optic Fire Control pedigree in both the Land and Maritime domains delivers class-leading GBAD technology and capabilities for BAE Systems Bofors and the Tridon Mk2 end users. This significant project for Chess builds on many years of partnership with BAE Systems”.
