RAPIDFire: The New French 40mm Naval Gun System by Nexter & Thales
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Nexter and Thales presented exclusively for Naval News their new RAPIDFire remotely operated naval gun system. This complete solution includes the 40 mm CTA gun, an integrated fire control system, an operator console and a sighting system.
=====================
The RAPIDFire system developed by the consortium formed by Thales and Nexter has been chosen by the French defence procurement agency (DGA) to equip future French Navy vessels (the Chevallier-class replenishment tankers also known as BRF and the future class of OPV) with new artillery. This new system will provide the Navy’s surface vessels with an effective close-in defence capability against modern air and surface threats.
RAPIDFire incorporates the new medium calibre 40 mm gun developed by CTAI, the international subsidiary of Nexter Systems and BAE Systems. The system is compatible with the full range of ammunitions developed for land forces programmes. For naval air defense, a development and proudctiion contract for a future smart ammunition known as Anti Aerial Airburst (A3B) round is expected to be awarded this year.

thank you for making videos in English. I love the French design, looks like the Millennium Gun has some competition here.
Imagine the Bofors 3P ammo upgraded w/ that munition-inside-case config, even more compact since 3P can already do the roles of those 2nd, 3rd, & 4th ammo in the vid
Seems like a no-brainer considering BAE Systems has production rights to both.
The KE-AB and GPR-AB-T rounds do exactly the same thing as 3P so no need.
the problem is that every time we want to do something unique to perform several functions, it doesn't work all the time, for the moment, only one thing has succeeded in this mission, it's the Rafale from Dassault, even the Mirage 2000 never succeeded! and the biggest failure is the F35, incapable of carrying out a single mission because it was so poorly designed! as for the Rafale, the F35 has 3 versions, A, B and C, the Rafale, B (two-seater), C and M (Navalized)
@@dogsnads5634 These are the RAPIDFIRE ammunition, since this gun was developed between BAe and NEXTER!
Écouter des français parler anglais ça reste douloureux mdr. C’est dingue pour des monsieurs avec des bon postes dans des grosses entreprises comme ça. Sinon bonne vidéo !
Je me demandes si ça n’est pas voulu justement.
Le but étant de laisser notre accent ( qui certes sur de l’anglais nous paraît dégueu à nous français) qui montre à des non connaisseurs étrangers que le matériel est français, et aussi parce que beaucoup d’étrangers apprécient la France et peuvent se faire charmer par son accent.
Pour résumer je pense donc que cet accent, c’est du marketing et ça fait partie de la campagne promotionnelle.
it looks straight out of star wars
These system will so fast, so fast empty your ammo. Then you will so fast so fast reload your ammo. :)
France must offer Rapid gun to Philippine navy to install 103 Philippine navy ship 50 coast guard ship patrol boat installment payment
Nextar rapid gun must offer to Philippine navy Israel shaldaq class new combat patrol boat as main gun
Comme ce n'est pas en français c'est pas facile, mais quand même une question, pourrait on envisager des canons "rapid fire " sur des engins comme le griffon, ou d autres matériels de l armée française ?
c est déjà fait
Very clever stuff guys compacting each design and capabilities of each will save in storage and etc , regards from Australia.
Shame we are just too dumb to have these on The Australian opvs
So the projectile is inside the cartridge case, instead of on top of it. Certainly make it compact.
Indeed ,CTA = Cased Telescopic Ammunition.
Im sure Xavier was glad that uncomfortable interview ended
why uncomfortable? You are so intellectually underdeveloped to tell us your nonsense!

Dont know how very effective it will be without a tracking radar at least. Optical targeting isnt capable of reaching everywhere.
they'll be on a ship, this system won't lack radars. The optical targeting does help for the final aiming. Same for the ground system, you're supposed to use it coupled with a GroundMaster radar, also made by Thales
It will use the Radar on the ship it be integrated in the system like remote
So proud of Europe stepping up and enhancing its defense commitments
I remember when Xavier only launch French speaking video sometime ago. I commented this is another CIWS, and some fools call me talking nonsense. Turn out Nexter do aim this as CIWS. Rate of fire can be augmented by type of ammo.
I'm not fully convinced yet. When Xavier asked them if it was a CIWS (as in an anti-missile system), they didn't say yes, they only said it could do surface to air. Then when he asked them what sort of air targets the dedicated surface to air ammo could engage, they only gave drones and helicopters as example. My take is that since the dedicated ammo is still under developpement, they have yet to do tests against a simulated cruise missile and validate that capability.
@@WBtimhawk it’s not a ciws, it’s specialised as an anti surface weapon and anti slow air targets.
The rapidfire is designed to work in tandem with the simbad launcher ( specialised against rapid air threats only ).
So the two completed themselfs. The future french ressuply ships, and the future pang will use both the combo rapidfire + mistral.
And i really want to see the future coast Guard class patrol ship equiped with this.
Wonder if you can throw it on something like a bradley
Nextar and Thales must have a All France military weapon exhibit at Manila Philippines SM mall of ASIA rapid gun tanks tube rocket
New FDI Bellhara are going to have this 40mm??
So matchly frentsch pronountiacion.
can it shoot down supersonic anti-ship missiles?
So it's a smoothbore gun like modern tank gun today nice 👍
Belle réalisation mais les cours d'anglais s'avèrent indispensables à ce niveau...

Ze engueliche !
💪 🇨🇵 👍
the 'english" french accent is so horrible ... OMG
I love it
@@keyboardt8276 🤢🤮
It will be good on offshore patrol vessels as main gun. And even on the back or sides of larger warships.
That's how it should be, but in reality this will be the main armament of destroyers/frigates while the offshore patrol boats will get the 12.7 HMG at best.
When is France gon build another one them there ol modern day Richelieu's is what I'm a wonderin? 🤔
Nextar rapid gun must offer to sale Philippine navy to install 2 landing ship vessel and 3 unit Hamilton cutter ship 3 unit corvette
A special thank to all the Maurice Chevalier accent defenders in diz video. Zey work vairy welle.
Ze gun may be good.
Ammunition development is definitely the wave for the next few decades.
Its an clever design but as an ciws fells it fire rate wrong. 300 per min is not that good. Better were 450 shots buts that my. Also can one use the gun with the oto melara 40mm bofors system with the two 40mm guns. I think with Upgrade fire rate to 450 it would have 900 . A killer system. And thanks for this wonderful video.
It’s not a ciws, it’s an AA (UAV, mini drone, helicopter) + anti surface.
You don’t need an high rate of fire on this weapon, because the video say it’s very very acurate. So you have the same efficiency but you spare ammo and you have a lot of ammo because they are telescoped and more compact. So it can be effective for prolonged fight and still be active even if the ship is damaged.
France never has develloped a ballistic CIWS so far cause they use only aster and maybe mistral missiles for this.
No. Everytime you upgrade the caliber you have a trade-off in lower RoF. 300 RPM for 40mm class is normal. Enhanced effects ( more explosives and shrapnel ) and special ammo ( timed and proximity fuses ) means RoF can be lower.
@@victor6814 the type 31 frigate use the single Oto 40mm cannon as the ciws weapon
@@a1tse191 the type 31 use 40mm bofors Mk4. An ugly but pretty good ciws.
The rapidfire is also a 40mm but not a ciws. It’s speciallised against slow targets like drones, helicopters and surface threats. His targetting computer is too slow to challenge rapid air threats like fighters jets or incoming missiles.
Can I buy one for my house?
40mm is only any good for anti-air on a ship
It can do a lot of damage to any ship or boat. If you fire 40mm rounds at a ship you can knock ot the ships radar wipe crew out in the front venerable area of any large ship depending on rounds used and range. On smaller ships such as OPV and attack boats it can knock them out easily. Not just aircraft and drones ect
Also it is good for close in weapon system. Can shoot down incoming missile. Especially cruise missile with the high explosive rounds.
I watch a documentary on the battle of midway ww2 as where I seen a live footage of an American aircraft switched from using his guns firing down on the ship igniting the ammunition bay and the ship exploded. So if a 30mm gun could do that to a thick armor of a battleship. I think a 40mm with the armord piercing shels today could easily penetrate a large ship depending on range
Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society.
yes i have that gun on MW
Yeah, but the gun only focusing on enemy aircrafts whenether I always encountering aircraft carrier. Better stick to Gibka
l'accent anglais .. c'est pas encore là

Have I not seen this technology developed by the German Rheinmetall 🤔 a couple of years ago? A slightly different approach to it but if you ask me it's the same technology behind it!
France and Germany have some joint study labs such as the Saint Louis institute, I’d say there’s your commonality.
@@jetaddicted thank you I had no ideea , the only joint partnership that tied the 2 nations is the development of aircraft, but now I know more !
Lots of people have developed Case Telescoped rounds in the past, but this is the only one to enter service. This was a joint UK and France development.
Des mecs aussi "importants" au sein d'une aussi grosse compagnie sont pas censés être parfaitement bilingue ? on dirait des lycéens la honte...
Bon écoutez , votre accent français est horrible ! Refaites la bande son avec sous titrage au minimum ..
The ammunition reminds me of 30mm rheinmetall ammunition

@@NavalNews Bonjour,
Pour être franc, je me suis fait exactement la même réflexion que Ludovic... on pourrait y voir, comme disait l'autre, la réflexion d'un "gaulois réfractaire". Voyez-y plutôt un peu de fierté : ça rappelle (vous rappelez !) que si on a tjs pas de pétrole, on a encore des idées ! 😀
@@pierreyvesbiette votre critique pourrait être justifiée si la même vidéo en Français n'était pas déjà sorti il y a trois semaines...

@@remistiegler5302 Merci
Same cannon on the Ajax for the British I believe 🙂
Pretty much so yes ,maybe with some mods for Naval use.
His English is cringeworthy
show us how you try to speak French,i'm curious!
Speak in French you bonnets
The video is also available in French at this link: ua-cam.com/video/48CQyShS44Y/v-deo.html
Write in French you froggy
Since it's a French design, it fires even better while retreating.
Your lack of History is hopeless
It's a joint British/French design...
