The RBS 70 NG has an effective intercept range of 8 km, with altitude coverage in excess of 5,000 m, making it a best-in-class air defence missile system. It is capable of operating in complex environments such as urban terrain and is well equipped for all environments, including tropical, desert and arctic conditions.

At the core of the RBS 70 NG is the new generation sight module. Its integrated thermal imager and night sight capability, provides true 24/7 performance. Three dimensional target designation and automatic target detection improves reaction times, while the auto-tracker aids the gunner during engagement, increasing hit probability throughout the missile range.

With the latest generation of missile – the BOLIDE – the RBS 70 NG is directed at the complete air and ground threat spectrum, from fixed and rotary wing aircraft and helicopters down to small targets such as cruise missiles, UAVs and armoured ground targets like APCs.

The RBS 70 NG can be vehicle integrated and used to support manoeuvring troops. The modularity of the system also allows it to be used in a remotely controlled configuration. Specifically aimed at the long-term static air defence of strategic assets, these deployments can last several weeks or more in aroundthe- clock operations. The RBS 70 NG is also the optimal solution for event protection in peacetime, at high-profile sporting events, for example.

With more than 1600 systems and more than 17 000 missiles sold, the RBS 70 is today procured by 18 nations world wide. The RBS 70, still proves itself to be a very highly capable system, being continuously procured, used and appreciated by our demanding customers worldwide. The RBS 70 has until now been sold to 18 nations located on all continents and the system has been proven in the most exacting environmental conditions.
