For this purpose, the Mangart 25 air defense system has been integrated into the OSKOSH JLTV protected multifunctional vehicle. At the same time, the light and compact Loki 762 weapon station has been equipped and also tested on a Cobra 4×4 CBRN light reconnaissance vehicle. Loki is intended to replace the outdated weapon station of the CBRN detection vehicle.

The Mangart 25 is equipped with Rheinmetall's KBA 25 x 137 mm single-barrel automatic cannon. The system can be used against drones, helicopters, low-flying aircraft, and other ground-based aerial targets, as well as ground targets up to three kilometers away. It is equipped with an AESA radar and an electro-optical (EO/IR) system for target detection and tracking. There is also an IR warning system (BANS). Future capabilities will include a laser designator, an acoustic shot detection system, tank and anti-aircraft missiles, drones, and artificial intelligence (AI) for faster and better target detection, identification, and tracking.

The remotely operated weapon (RCW) Loki 762 also comes from Valhalla Turrets. The main mechanical, optical, and electronic components are manufactured in Slovenia. It is one of the most compact and lightweight remotely operated weapon stations and is currently the only one on the market available in three calibers: 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, and 12.7 mm. The Slovenian Armed Forces participated in the final development phase, and its use in the 7.62 mm caliber is planned for Cobra 4×4 CBRN reconnaissance vehicles as well as the Rheinmetall MAN HX 8×8 truck with a swap loading system.
