CAELIX 35 × 228 mm Programmable airburst
CAELIX 35 ABM

CAELIX 35 ABM is a new-generation 35 × 228 mm spin-stabilized and time-programmable airburst munition designed for use against traditional and modern air threats. Precise electronic time counting, muzzle-velocity-compensated programming and improved tungsten-pellet distribution support a controlled airburst effect at the programmed point along the projectile trajectory.

Programmable air-defence effects

CAELIX 35 ABM increases the effectiveness of compatible 35 mm cannon systems against conventional aerial targets and emerging air threats. Programming takes measured muzzle velocity into account, supporting accurate fuze timing and consistent effects under operational conditions.

01

Velocity-compensated programming

Measured muzzle velocity is incorporated into programming to support precise fuze timing.

02

Electronic time counting

High-precision electronic time counting controls the programmed airburst point along the trajectory.

03

Tungsten-pellet effect

Improved tungsten-pellet distribution supports controlled terminal effects and penetration capability.

04

Safety and resilience

Mechanical safety and arming, electronic self-destruct and resistance to electromagnetic interference support reliable operation.

Documented target set

The ammunition is documented for use against conventional aerial targets and a developing range of complex air threats.
