Rheinmetall to Exhibit Defense Systems at Black Sea Defense & Aerospace

German technology group Rheinmetall will present its defense products and systems at the Black Sea Defense & Aerospace (BSDA) exhibition in Bucharest, taking place from May 13-15, 2026. The company's stand, C309, will feature highlights such as the Lynx KF41 infantry fighting vehicle, the Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3, and the HX logistics vehicle.

The BSDA exhibition serves as a platform for international defense and security stakeholders. Rheinmetall's display will include the new generation Lynx KF41 IFV, equipped with the MK30-2/ABM cannon and the MSSA weapon station. The company also offers customized concepts for local production capacities and technology transfer.

Rheinmetall is also focusing on air defense systems, exhibiting the Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3, which is part of the Oerlikon Skynex system. According to the company, highly mobile and scalable ground-based air defense systems are increasingly important as NATO and European armed forces reorient towards national and alliance defense.

As one of the world's leading ammunition manufacturers, Rheinmetall is expanding its production capacity. The company aims to increase the annual production capacity for 155mm artillery ammunition to 1.1 million rounds by 2027 and to 1.5 million rounds by 2030. Production of tank ammunition is targeted at 240,000 rounds per year from 2027, with medium-caliber ammunition production projected to reach 3.4 million rounds by 2027.

The group will also showcase the latest generation of its Gladius 2.0 soldier system. Additionally, Rheinmetall will present its new marine systems division, established following the acquisition of NVL. This division provides solutions for the design and construction of surface vessels and coast guard patrol boats.
