Kyiv • UNN October 23 2026, 12:56 AM • 66 views Northrop Grumman is creating the Raid Hunter anti-aircraft system with a 50 mm gun and a radar capable of tracking more than 1,000 targets. A prototype is planned by 2027. The American company Northrop Grumman is developing a new 50-mm Raid Hunter anti-aircraft system to combat unmanned aerial vehicles, including Shahed-type drones. The system will have an engagement range of up to 5 km, and a production prototype is planned to be manufactured by the end of the second quarter of 2027. Defense Express reports this, citing Janes, writes UNN. Representatives of Northrop Grumman spoke about the development during the AUSA 2026 defense exhibition in the United States. According to them, the company conducts tests approximately every month, checking the operation of the gun, radar, and control system. By the time the prototype is created, total investment in Raid Hunter is expected to exceed $100 million. The U.S. Army and Air Force, as well as foreign partners, have already expressed interest in the development. Raid Hunter is being developed based on the 50-mm Bushmaster Chain Gun automatic cannon and the SRC Gryphon R1810 radar. The latter is capable of simultaneously tracking more than 1,000 aerial targets.
