Northrop Grumman flight test validates guided 50mm Raid Hunter projectile performance
NOC•Flight test results support Raid Hunter development
Northrop Grumman completed an aeroballistic flight test of a new 50mm projectile for its Raid Hunter gun-based air defense system.
- Test rounds fired from an XM913 Chain Gun generated high-fidelity data on nearly every shot, matching pre-test performance expectations.
- Results support development of a guided, proximity-fuzed 50mm round aimed at countering mass mixed raids of aerial threats.
- The program positions Raid Hunter as a scalable, lower-cost short-range option to address gaps in air defense capability.
