The system has been developed on the basis of redeployed 20 mm AA53 T2 anti-aircraft guns and can quickly eliminate threats in the form of light air purposes and swarms of drones. Army recognition writes about it. After its initial deployment at the beginning of 2025, on February 23, 2025, the Procurement Procurement for Industrialization of the Production of this updated version was launched in the 35th Parachut-Artillery Regiment (35E RAP).
The initiative marks significant progress in the adaptation of available weapons to a system that meets modern operational requirements. The main weapons of Proteus-20mm gun with a frequency of 700 shots per minute and an effective range of 1500 meters, is supplemented with the Sandra thermal imaging chamber and an improved fire control system. The first six units are expected for three months, and the total number out of 50 is planned to be put by the end of 2026.
Developed in a few months by the technical department of the French Army (Stat) with the support of the Artificial Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense (AMIAD), Proteus adheres to a practical approach, re -using the available equipment. Its main weapons, 20mm gun with a frequency of 700 shots per minute and an effective range of 1500 meters, is complemented by the Sandra thermal imaging chamber and an improved fire control system.
Mounted on the TRM 2000 truck, it wins from high mobility, which allows you to quickly unfold it in operational conditions. Proteus Standard 2 presents improved capabilities with artificial intelligence. Forecasting algorithms optimize fire control based on enemy flight trajectories, increasing efficiency by more than 30% compared to previous models.
