Rheinmetall Matador

Rheinmetall Matador

The German Army issued a requirement in the 1960’s for a new self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. It was to replace the M42 Duster in service with the German Army and to have an all-weather capability. Prototypes were built by two companies, Rheinmetall in Germany and Contraves AG in Switzerland. The two Rheinmetall vehicles were known as the Matador ZLA and were armed with twin 30mm cannon. They had a Siemens surveillance radar and AEG-Telefunken fire-control electronics.
