Chess Dynamics, a British company specialising in surveillance, tracking and gunfire control systems, has announced a successful collaboration with BAE Systems Bofors for the fire control element of the Ground-based Air Defence system (GBAD) Tridon Mk2.
This next-generation 40mm anti-aircraft system, which we saw firsthand in the International Defence and Security Exhibition EUROSATORY 2024, represents a significant advancement in firepower incorporating Chess’ air defence system technology.
The Tridon Mk2 builds upon the legacy of the original Tridon system, renowned for its dependability, with enhanced capabilities to mitigate a wide range of threats from drones to aircraft. The system offers security and protection for military forces and civil infrastructure across large areas.
Chess Dynamics’ contribution to surveillance, fire control and precision positioning has been instrumental in accurately delivering live hostile target coordinates to the Tridon Mk2.
