Cannon and rockets for counter-drone defence
The main weapon of the Skythunder turret is an MK44S Bushmaster 30×173 millimetre cannon from Northrop Grumman, with 400 rounds available. It can engage larger drones at ranges of up to 2,500 metres. In 30×173 millimetre calibre, fragmentation ammunition with proximity fuzes is available for counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) use. The turret also carries launchers for a maximum of eight laser-guided 70-millimetre rockets with a range of up to 6,000 metres.

As a secondary weapon, a Dillon M134D minigun in calibre
7.62×51 millimetres sits on a remotely controlled Razor turret. Its magazine holds 1,000 rounds; against small drones it reaches up to 1,000 metres.
